Better than HDMI in computer cable adapters

I am using a 2018 Macbook Pro and this has worked the best. If your monitor has a DisplayPort option, consider using that instead of HDMI. This seems to cause a slight lag with HDMI, while DisplayPort is solid and fast. I recommend it.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • poorly thought out

Worked great on Lenovo T480; May not support HDCP.

I had to work from home and connected this to my Lenovo T480 laptop. It was exactly what was available for same day delivery and it works great. There may not be HDCP support when trying to watch Netflix/Prime videos in HD.

Pros
  • Fits many people
Cons
  • There are some nuances

I ended up going with two of these DisplayPort adapters, which unfortunately take up two of my four USB-C ports, but work just fine. My problem is USB-C expandability. There aren't as many options as there were on previous USB versions, especially when mixing across multiple displays.

Pros
  • Acceptable
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product

Does the job - with one caveat

I bought this along with the multiport dongle my company got for a second monitor. The picture on the multiport dongle has some issues, but this Revain adapter didn't have any connection or display issues, I'm very happy with it. Sometimes when my Mac goes into the night shift, the display connected through this adapter doesn't dim. As a workaround, I have to disconnect and reconnect the adapter. I don't know why he's doing this.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Crumpled

Has been working for a year

I've been using the adapter for about a year now. It connects my new HP laptop to monitors and projectors that only have a display port. It connects easily and I haven't had any problems. (I only have Thunderbolt and HDMI on my new laptop, which is pretty common.) I've been using it almost daily for several months, ever since I bought a cheaper monitor that only had a DisplayPort, no HDMI. So it might be worth buying this and a cheaper monitor. I also tried this on a Samsung Galaxy phone and it

Pros
  • Computer cable adapter
Cons
  • Will be added later

I'm not sure if it's an adapter, but it didn't work for me.

I bought it and connected a new displayport cable to the monitor but it didn't work. The computer detected that I had a monitor connected, but just gave me an error message warning me that it might not be working properly. I'm not sure if the problem is with the adapter or if the USB-C port on the computer isn't up to par. But in any case, you might want to have a backup plan for running the monitor. In my case, I had to go back to using an old USB-to-VGA converter that I wanted to eliminateโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Damaged

Runs at 144Hz 1440p

I have an LG 32" QHD (2160 x 1440p) gaming monitor that supports 144Hz. However, my Dell laptop (XPS 9560) only has an HDMI port which doesn't support full refresh rates. Luckily it has a USB-C connector and this adapter works GREAT A rate monitor like mine. Looks fantastic. One minor thing to note after I plugged it into Windows 10 he recognized it immediately and my monitor ran at full resolution but didn't offer anything above 60hz until I restarted the laptop then it showed 144hz in theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Computers and Accessories
Cons
  • Crumpled Packaging
