No Moto g7power support

Good. It's neat, but like me, don't listen to some online reviews of how this will work for your Moto g7power. That's definitely not true.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Will be added later

Screen goes black after 10-15 minutes

I bought this adapter last week and delivered it yesterday, I connect the adapter to Sony Xperia 1 on my TV, every 10-15 minutes the screen goes black and comes back again. I am extremely disappointed.

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • Almost never

Adapter gets hot, screen keeps flashing

I've been using this for 5 months now on a Dell 5830 and initially it worked as it should. However, the monitor connected to the adapter flickers on and off annoyingly for 3-5 seconds over time. At first I was able to unplug and plug the key back in without any further issues. However, over time it will continue to degrade and become unusable, turning on and off every 1-2 minutes. The button itself is very hot to the touch, which can affect its correct functioning. I have other StarTechโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • not reliable

Does not fix docking station issues

This is not an "external graphics card" like the USB 3.0 adapter sold by Startech. It really is an "adapter" which is why you don't need drivers for Windows and also why it's so cheap compared to others. I was having resolution issues when viewing my Dell Thunderbolt USB-C Dock through the HDMI port. I've tried using this but have the same problem because it uses the same bus as the dock and for some reason the HDMI port resolution is limited when both display ports are used. I should haveโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Computers and Accessories
Cons
  • weak

HDR still doesn't work with MacBook Pro

I bought this because I wanted to play HDR videos in 4K at 60 fps/hz on my 2018 MacBook Pro without using the internal display. Unfortunately I haven't managed to do that yet. I have macOS Catalina 10.15.2, a BenQ EW3270U 3840x2160 monitor with HDR support, and a Monoprice 18Gbps cable. The monitor and cable have been successfully paired with the Roku Ultra and other 4K HDR streaming devices and passed all tests without issue, proving their HDR capabilities. Otherwise, the adapter works wellโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Computer Accessories and Peripherals
Cons
  • Expensive
