Connect multiple monitors in extend mode

I just connected two monitors to my MacBook Pro 2017 (running Mojave) and I now have three screens, not mirrored, extended. The adapter needs a driver which can be downloaded from a shared Google drive (I know, a little nervous about that, but it all worked out perfectly). I needed to give special permission to the app because it was not recognized, but once I did that, it downloaded right up and started working as soon as plugged the cable into my USB 3 port. I played a little with the…

Pros
  • nice
Cons
  • The cable may break easily if not handled with care

Had to reinstall driver every time I unplugged it from my laptop

Worked great did exactly what I wanted…except every time I unplugged it from my laptop I had to eject it as a device and then when unplugged it in again…reinstall the driver…dumb design. If you don’t need to unplug it, it’s worth it. (I also have to have my work tech support approve the driver to install it…)

Pros
  • Offers outstanding durability and resistance to wear and tear
Cons
  • May not be the best solution for live streaming

Works perfect! in my review

This is a USB3 port not regular USB, it works on regular USB but with a very low resolution, in USB3 the resolution is perfect!

Pros
  • Enables easy connection between Mac OS and Windows XP/Vista/10/8/7 devices
Cons
  • May not be suitable for video editing

Should've been easier

I got the cable and a disc with it. Apparently you will need to download from the disc some sort of app to be able to use A CABLE thats supposed to just connect and use. - Hard to use. Had to google and do instructions posted online from other users as disc did not work to help. Work PC was reading the cable as a webcam and not allowing the additional screen to be added to PC and this is coming from a very experienced IT guy from my job. This should have been easier!

Pros
  • Offers wide compatibility with various operating systems
Cons
  • May not work with all video cards

5 stars for ease of use

I downloaded the driver which took all of 2 minutes. Plugged in my new (3rd) screen and that was that. Only issue I had was that I couldn’t change the resolution because that option was locked. I figured out that I had plugged the usb into a slower port so I just switched to a 3.0 USB port and now the resolution is perfect. Overall I recommend this converter.

Pros
  • Offers a cost-effective solution to complex display needs
Cons
  • May cause a delay in response time

OS WARNING re: MOJAVE

This product does not appear to work with macOS Mojave. (I gave it three stars because, in fairness, the description does not specifically mention compatibility with Mojave. Also, the product is Prime eligible, so it got here in a day, and I can easily replace it without paying any return shipping. All-in-all, I have no complaints, just a PSA.)I installed the macOS driver from the link provided, attempted a reboot (as per the install instructions), and my computer would not boot up. I had to…

Pros
  • 5ft length offers extended reach
Cons
  • May significantly increase the workload for the graphics card

It Works! Don't Return It lol

I needed a simple VGA to USB and this is the only thing I could find. Once I got it I plugged it and guess what - nothing. I was not happy; however, you have to install the drivers. The problem is that most computers these days do not have a internal disk drive and buying an external disk drive for a single cord is kind of silly. But, if you do have an external disk drive laying around like me then throw the disk in and let it rip. Navigate to Mac or Win. Click the single file and then click…

Pros
  • Reduces the need for bulky adapters and dongles
Cons
  • May not be compatible with all video codecs

Allowed MacBook Air to have 3 screens

This cable worked. It had a link to install the driver that was needed. Also came with a CD for installation, but I didn’t have a CD drive. I was able to hook my MacBook Air (2015) to an additional screen with this cable. This allowed me to have 3 screens for working. Really satisfied and I was a little worried about going to the website for the driver, but it was a real driver and didn’t crash my computer or anything sketchy.

Pros
  • Computer Cable Adapters
Cons
  • May not be compatible with all graphics cards

Download the driver.

Do you hear the angels singing? Because a damaged screen in my son's Dell all in one Inspiron became unusable and with this cable I was able to put him back in business using an old monitor and all his "stuff" is accessible again. One more day and he would've committed Hari Kari (this is a joke for all of you humorless people).Just be sure to download the driver for your system, it is imperative. Cable is good quality and just the right length. Fast delivery and good packaging. Thanks for this…

Pros
  • Constructed with top-quality materials for durability
Cons
  • May not be suitable for high-end graphics work

Had to download in order for it to work

I had to download something in order to use it… I didn’t care for that… I just wanted to plug it in and it work…. But once I did that the cable works perfectly.

Pros
  • This cable allows me to use an older monitor with a large scree than my lap top
Cons
  • May cause slow performance on older Windows operating systems

Worked perfectly! for my opinion

My wife wanted to add a third monitor to her computer at work, needed this, had to be ok’d by in house IT, hooked it all up, bingo!

Pros
  • Provides an easy and inexpensive solution for connecting your laptop to a projector
Cons
  • May not be suitable for VR technology

like so many others, my Macbook wouldn't boot after I installed the driver. When I entered the password, the progress bar would quickly advance to about halfway, then crawl to the end, then. nothing. Waited for minutes with not change. Couldn't boot in safe mode.Finally - waited at the password screen until the message about 'having trouble entering your password?' showed up. Followed the instructions from that message: shut it down by holding the power button until it turned off, then…

Pros
  • NOTE
Cons
  • May cause latency issues

Works in Windows - not so much on my mac

I got this for my Macbook Air 2015 running the latest version of Catalina after seeing some reviews say that it worked on their Macbook Air 2015. I was not as lucky. I reinstalled as recommended, but to no avail.I tried it on my Windows 10 machine, and it works fine there. On Windows, the video playback is great. The only noticeable issue I found was mouse speed being a bit slower on the monitor with this cable.I gave three stars because it actually works in Windows even tho that's not why I…

Pros
  • It did not work for my device
Cons
  • May require additional software to work

I was skeptical, Now I am a believer!… This product works!

I was A little skeptical that (video quality would suffer) with a VGA to USB adapter. But since my laptop does not have a Usb C Port, This was my only option. I was pleasantly surprised. There’s no noticeable difference between my monitor connected with an HDMI cable versus this VGA to USB adapter. Screen quality is good. Driver download was a breeze. The product works as advertised.

Pros
  • Offers affordable video connection to laptops and desktops
Cons
  • May cause the computer to crash if the driver is not up-to-date

Exactly what I needed

Exactly what I needed. Perfect for older VGA monitors, and a fraction of the price that Best Buy was asking. Thanks for attention!

Pros
  • This one works just fine. You have to connect to USB 3.0. Satisfied with the performance so far.
Cons
  • May not support gaming graphics
