Better than expected!

I had problems with the cable and adapter, intermittent connection between my monitor and MS Surface 4. Without knowing what the problem was, I found this cable that combined two functions - scrore! It arrived on time and worked great! I couldn't be happier, apart from a noticeable improvement in video quality. Excellent purchase. So happy!

Pros
  • Wide range
Cons
  • Concerns me

Better than expected

It's not an official Apple color and the Thunderbolt end sits a little tight on my back, but for the price it's ok. The length is perfect for a typical setup where your secondary monitor is next to your laptop. I was nervous about ordering an unbranded product, but considering it won't move much, the requirements are pretty low. I would recommend it in place of most "official" Apple connectors that serve the same function.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Poorly designed

HDCP inconsistency meant that when I tried to watch in HD on the second stream from a computer with Full HD 1080p support, I couldn't see in high quality on the second screen . I had to watch it in normal quality because this cable doesn't meet copyright protection standards. In general I was not able to use the full performance of my computer graphics as this cable is not HDCP compliant to display content on a second screen running on another main computer.

Pros
  • Not only useful for its intended purpose
Cons
  • Fix

Works for me for computer accessories and peripherals

Bought two of these for surface pro 4 dock to work with dual monitors. Works perfectly. A few tips: You'll need to update your dock's firmware before these ports will work. This means you must run either Windows Update or the Dock Firmware Updater while connected to the dock. Any of them will get the job done. After the update, the trick is to DISCONNECT the dock from the Surface, then look at the Ethernet port on the back of the dock. Watch for a tiny flash of green light for a while. When itโ€ฆ

Pros
  • I'm holding my fists

I can finally use my MacBook Air (2012) with a Dell monitor

I bought a used Dell monitor to use with my MacBook Air. I was about to buy another monitor thinking it was incompatible. I've been trying for months and my Mac doesn't wake up to the monitor or know it's plugged in. I'm glad I decided to try this adapter before throwing my monitor away. A few minutes later I was connected to my monitor - it was easy! i am sooo happy Thanks very much!

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Compatibility

Great little adapter. Be sure to insert the right side up!

I had to scratch my head the first time I installed it and the monitor didn't show what it was supposed to. Then, in an almost cavernous motion, I pulled out the zippered plug, flipped it over, and reinserted it into the port. Not only was it a lot easier to "get in" - the monitor lit up instantly and I never looked back - but I wrote this review and admitted you can turn a damn zipper on its head. It comes in, seems almost right too. However, the right way will actually feel right, so just use

Pros
  • Positive only
Cons
  • Long wait

IS WORKING! DVI HDMI Adapter

I have used another brand of this product in the past and my drawing tablet it was connected to was off and static. I had to fiddle with my laptop's connection to get it into the "gold zone" to keep the screen from flickering. As a digital artist, this is very frustrating because I felt like I was spending more time fiddling with cables than actually producing the work. This problem actually stopped me from using my computer to draw. The GoFanco version of the adapter worked AMAZING once Iโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy Install
Cons
  • I answer

Great cable for a tidy look

I'm not the kind of person who likes cables scattered everywhere. In fact, I like to keep everything neat and organized with as little clutter as possible. That's why I was excited about this product from gofanco. Not only does it eliminate the need for a dongle socket to plug into my MacBook Pro, it also comes in a short 3-foot length that fits my setup perfectly and gives me a clean look that I cherish. The gold-plated connectors work great and the display speed is the same as my Macbook'sโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Quality
