Works as advertised but too slow for gaming and videos

Plugged in and it worked. Good: Full 4k display Bad: You can actually see the lag, not sure if it's due to bandwidth/USB3.0/other aspect of my computer's setup, but video and other features where you want smooth motion, don't work that well. Overall: Displaying up to 4k isn't a problem, but you'll need a different GPU if you need performance.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • I'm worried

Works better than expected.

I've bought more expensive Displaylink based devices but this works best and also works well on Linux Fedora 33/34. Windows 10 64-bit version. (I haven't tried other operating systems). It gets a little warm and the cable is annoyingly short, but in terms of usability, I think it's impeccable. Note: I only used it for productive work (Photoshop, MS Office, etc.) and watching YouTube videos.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Minor issues

There are no negative side effects when operating the display via USB.

I have a MacBook Pro with Touch Bar. I bought an OWC USB-C docking station that only has a display output. I have two old Apple Cinema Displays (DVI input). I bought this item to connect a USB-C cable to my computer and use both displays, drives, etc. I was amazed that this thing worked. I had to install the driver. But it was very straight forward. I didn't ask myself if I chose the right software. The cinema screen is not a normal "1080P" aspect ratio. I was concerned that this unit would not

Pros
  • Test results unchanged
Cons
  • You could have chosen a newer model

Works great with the new M1 Mac and 1080P monitor

Mac M1s initially fail to run as one external display. DisplayLink comes to the rescue. I have a high quality Thunderbolt 3 dock and my main monitor is connected to it via DisplayPort (2560 x 1440). Connected Wavlink with USB3.0 connector. connected a DVI cable to Wavlink on the dock, installed DisplayLink and BAM - now I have 3 monitors. #1 is 32" 2560 x 1440, #2 is 23" 1920 x 1080 and #3 is the laptop's own Retina display, which I use a size "larger" than the stock size to suit my eyes and…

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

A very functional way to add a 4K monitor to your system

I bought this graphics adapter to add a 4K monitor to my current USB 3.0 desktop system. The adapter was received in pristine condition and is exactly as pictured; Setup was easy: plug it into Windows 10, it recognized the adapter very quickly and plugged in a 4K monitor. I was very surprised how easy it was to add a monitor and be fully functional. :-) After using the adapter with an attached 4K display for a few weeks, I noticed slight display glitches and differences between using this…

Pros
  • Enjoy
Cons
  • No performance
