The product works as advertised, but so do the USB-C ports.

The product works as advertised, however the USB-C connectors are too loose and do not require repositioning of the cable or else the signal will be lost. This is more of a port issue than the product itself.

Pros
  • Sleek and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

Connect your new laptop to old displays

I tested this on my Dell XPS 13 and it worked. My 23" Dell Ultrasharp monitor looked as good as it gets with SVGA. I mention this because if your monitor has multiple interfaces like mine, SVGA doesn't look as sharp as some other more modern interfaces. This particular Dell monitor is several years old and has both SVGA and DVI-D interfaces. DVI-D is noticeably cleaner than SVGA, but SVGA is still very good and usable. This is not the fault of this interface key. expected due to fundamentalโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Like everything before
Cons
  • Definitely bad product

Works well, fits well

I have not had any issues with this adapter, it works well with the projection systems I have used it with. Although I've also moved on from using PowerPoint when teaching to using blackboards/whiteboards or repeating things verbally and with exercises or worksheets. So I don't use the adapter very often anymore.

Pros
  • Done
Cons
  • Some issues

Broke after two uses!

I used this product twice before it failed. I bought it under warranty but I don't have the time or energy to look into it. I'm giving it back and will invest in a brand I trust.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

Pros
  • USB to VGA adapter
Cons
  • Available in white only

Works seamlessly for computer cable adapter

After a bad experience with a cheaper product that claimed to do the same thing, it worked the first time. I used it to connect a second monitor (1920x1080) to my laptop via the Thunderbolt/USB port. The first time, the computer didn't even recognize that a second monitor was connected. If you have the same problem as me, try this product.

Pros
  • Computers and accessories
Cons
  • Long delivery time
