StarTech USB32HDES USB 3.0 to HDMI Display Adapter Converter 1080p (1920x1200) Dual / Multi-Monitor Video Cable w/ External Graphics Card - Supports Windows

Incorrect description. This device is not displaylink certified. It also won't work with a Mac unless you download the driver noted in another review for this device. The driver noted will only mirror, not extend displays with M1 Mac. For actual displaylink certified devices look for the stamp "displaylink certified" on the device. Had to return this.

I wanted to run two monitors while only having one hdmi port out of my laptop.
I was sceptical at first.
This product works surprisingly well and considering the price I think is a good option for some, All you need to do on your end is download the driver and plug in! took less than 1 min

Cons:
Minor latency but as a second monitor for discord or youtube, works fine!
The dongle is compact but I have found gets very hot with only 5 min of use.. hopefully it lasts long enough until I upgrade to a PC
The usb can be fiddly so don't have it in a spot where it can move. I wanted to run two monitors while only having one hdmi port out of my laptop.

Works perfect for my digital display drawing tablet
I don't recommend for gaming tho as that was the only thing I found latency (lag, buffer) in. Worked great for movies and everything else Works perfect for my digital display drawing tablet

Got this as the HDMI port on my ancient HP pavillion had died and after hours trying to get it going I figured it was a hardware problem and not worth fixing given the age of the laptop but I still wanted to connect to a monitor and not ready to buy a new laptop yet. This works perfectly for my needs, no lag, easy set up, and hopefully the laptop will hold out long enough to justify the price tag but if not, i figure it is a handy adapter to have anyway.

A great must have gadget. A great must have gadget.

This is a great product and works really well, HOWEVER, StarTech don’t support Apple devices. So no drivers are actually available from Star Tech if you’re an Apple user. I found a fix for this by using a driver from a rival product from J5Create, you can find it on this page under Support:

https://en.j5create.com/products/jua350

I would have rated this 5* except for the driver issue and that nowhere on the product page does it warn you that there are no Apple drivers available out of the box.
Other than that little problem I’ve had no problems at all with this device and would recommend. This is a great product and works really well, HOWEVER, StarTech don’t support Apple devices.
