    Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2018

    Wow! This thing is works very well. I'm comparing it to a previous purchase of a StarTech unit (USB to HDMI). This Tripp Lite has a super sharp image and much more vibrant colors than I had before. And, the software seems to be much, much better. I'm using it on a very old proprietary device running Windows XP with an Atom processor and 2 gigs of memory. The StarTech was almost impossible to get the drivers to install and after many hours of effort I was able to get 1080 output but it was quite slow to refresh and never looked very sharp. I lived with it since there aren't many options for doing 1080 video output on an old device like this.

    I was forced to re-visit this because during a software refresh on my device, the driver for my old USB-HDMI device needed to be installed again. This time it was a complete fail. It simply would not install (even the very helpful tech support could not get it to work). But, I'm very glad it happened because this Tripp Lite unit is vastly superior in every way!!

    I am impressed with everything about this purchase. The packaging was very good (military grade plastic blister). The hardware has some nice weight to it. It comes with an actual CD for the software and a nice quality USB cable. It even comes with a printed manual that is well written and clear. And, best of all, the image output is very, very good! I highly recommend this device for anyone needing USB video output.

    For anyone who read my first review I panned this as not working with Mojave. Well, it turns out I was wrong. It seems that Mojave will prevent certain types of software from running without your express approval in Preferences. I discovered this by buying a different USB to VGA display adapter that claimed to work with Mojave yet didn't on mine. After searching the DataLink website I found a FAQ that explained this feature of Mojave and how to enable the software. I followed the FAQ and it worked perfectly. Now I have 2 of these, I'll have to decide what to do with the other. Be advised that you may have to download the latest drivers from the vendor web site as the included drivers are listed to support Mojave.

    So, I'm retracting my initial poor review and replacing it with this one.

    A total waste. It's bad enough that to add a second monitor to my mid-2012 MacBook Pro -- which has only 1 mini display port, already taken -- I need to buy this overpriced, dated P.O.S. (the instructions go back as far as Windows 2000 and a very old Mac OS). It also broke when simply trying to screw in the VGA adapter...NOT exactly a tough or new thing to do. Trashed it and now will add Tripp Lite to j5 Create as a company whose products I will never again use. (j5 still doesn't have drivers to support the last 1-2 versions of Mac OS).

    5.0 out of 5 stars Works for Macbook Air. Must download latest software direct from manufacturer's website
    Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2017
    Style: VGAVerified Purchase
    So far so good on my Mac. This works well on my 7 year old MacBook Air to extend my desktop. I also have another monitor hooked up through my thunderbolt port so this allows me to have three separate monitors including the laptop screen.

    You MUST install their software on your computer before this adapter will be recognized. I found that I needed to download the latest version directly from Tripp-Lite's website because the included CD had an older version that didn't work for me. I'm even running this adapter through a USB hub because I only have 2 USB ports - for my needs so far, it is working just fine. I have not yet tried this with memory-hogging applications yet but will update this review if I experience issues with lag.

    One of the reasons I bought it was because others said it was metal. It is no longer metal; it's plastic.
    Initially worked better than I expected. But after the option to return it expired, it started dying. I have to unplug/replug it occasionally to get video back. Also, the software seems to conflict with some things, sometimes crashing my system.
    I wish I had picked a different one that may have had the same problems but was half the price...

    5.0 out of 5 stars Have a macbook pro and need a cheap dual screen solution? You need one one of these
    Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2014
    Style: VGAVerified Purchase
    I had been searching around for a USB to screen solution (VGA or DVI) for a long time since my macbook pro comes with one thunderbolt and there are not many cheap choices for a dual display with such a setup (whats with that Apple?). I combed through a lot of solutions and a couple of failed products before I came across this product.
    Right off the bat, let me tell you that USB-VGA solution might not be the best choice for gamers. I am a developer and I needed to have a dual screen setup since my single screen was getting crowded...fast! The Trip lite filled in this spot beautifully. You connect one monitor to the thunderbolt port of the mac, the other monitor to one of the USB of the mac (via the Tripp lite) and presto, you have dual screen setup. I use the extended desktop in my MBP and I do not see any lag, since I mostly used this for software development.
    I did notice though that the product does not come with the latest drivers for the OSX Lion or Maverick. You can find the updated drivers here - "[...]". I am not a windows person, but I believe you can find the latest windows drivers there as well.
    One gripe though - about the vendor rather than the product. They will take their own sweet time shipping the product, mine was shipped 7 days after the purchase. But what the heck, I would hate to punish the product because of the vendor and so...its 5 stars from my end!

    Got this to use for my Mom’s computer when the integrated graphics “card” failed as there are also no expansion slots. It works perfectly. I was initially concerned about needing to install the included drivers with no screen access, but I either got lucky and they weren’t needed (newish refurb computer) or my random y, y, enter, enter, y, y worked. My backup plan was to install it on another computer and write down the appropriate responses for installation. No noticeable lag, although this computer is not used for gaming so it would not really be obvious.

    Auf aktuellem PC mit superschneller Ryzen 5900x Architektur unter Windows 10 getestet (bereits das dritte Device in meinem Test, das erste wurde nicht einmal erkannt und das zweite schaffte unter 1080p ca. 4-8 fps).

    Dieses hier wurde auf Anhieb erkannt. Eingesteckt, gebootet und funktionierte. Es war keine manuelle Treiberinstallation nötig. Ein Youtube-Video im Vollbildmodus getestet und es traten keine Ruckler auf.

    Für meine Zwecke absolut ausreichend. Endlich ein Adapter ohne Ärger! Kostet zwar das Doppelte als mein zuletzt getesteter, dafür funktioniert er und ist sein Geld wert. Würde diesen sofort wieder kaufen.

    Erst mal einen Punkt Abzug weil er bereits nach 14 Tagen defekt ist. Mal sehen wie der Händler reagiert.
