StarTech.com USB 3.0 to HDMI Adapter - DisplayLink Certified - 1080p (1920x1200) - USB Type-A to HDMI Display Adapter Converter for Monitor - External Video & Graphics Card - Windows/Mac (USB32HDPRO)

You NEED the USB3 DisplayLink version for an external monitor display with no lags running at 1080p60fps. I had the older USB2 DisplayLink and it was so laggy, so with this upgrade, all that is gone. Don't wait, it's worth the money. My default setup was limited to 2 external monitors and the laptop screen. But I really wanted 3 external monitors and laptop display for a total of 4 displays and this new setup just works... on my Chromebook Acer Spin 713, no drivers/software to load, and no lag even with HD video. This is absolutely the best device ever. Also, since the DisplayLink functions as its own video card, you might be able to add even more monitors if you wish... but make sure you have a powerful laptop/computer to push out the graphics. I highly recommend this device for anyone wanting to add extra external monitors especially on Chromebooks.

I just got this n today & will update this review IF something goes wrong.Opened the box & saw a installation cd & thought great, I don't haaaave a cd driver, but thought about going to the StarTech website to download the drivers. On the website, I looked up the model number & the drivers were right there. (They're r several to choose from but they're alllll labeled as to which one they're for. Windows 11 is the first one.) Downloaded the driver & then had to extract it. (It maaaaaay have just ran out but it recommended extracting them so I did.) After they extracted I clicked on it again & selected run. Hooked up the adapter AFTER all of that. (It MIGHT have worked just hooking it up but didn't want to take a chance. Installation is a pain n the butt IF u HAVE to do all this. It miiiiight b plug & play?, but I did it this way. U can try that if u want, i didn't want to try that.)The picture quality is BEAUTIFUL. Response time has NO lag, it's just like it is on the laptop screen. Overall I'm happy about it. Wish it was simpler plug & play. Wish it didn't cost soooo much but as much as I spent buying cheaper ones with 4.5 star reviews, (that crapped out AFTER Amazon's 30 day return window, (that's not right n my opinion, it should b 1 yr or at LEAST 3 to 6 months). Arrived faster then it originally said so I'm REAL happy about that. All I can say for now is I'm THRILLED about the product itself just not the PRICE.

I went through a few of these to try and extend a 3rd monitor from my HP laptop. None of the USB-C versions worked on it. Not even the expensive docking station for HP! So I tried this USB-A one and I just plugged it in and boom, screen on! Did not create any drag on my system nor any flickering which I have experienced with other laptops with screen extensions. Very satisfied!

This did not work with my Windows 10 PC. I installed the driver from web (No CD drive to use). The monitor was clearly not accepting the signal being sent to it. Due to similar reviews I did not think it was worth my time to devote any more effort into this one.

I originally asked a question if this item (Specifically the StarTech USB32HDPRO) supported AUDIO in addition to video. Some people said yes, others said no. Well, since I had already ordered it - I decided to wait and see once I installed it and see for myself. It came the next day and I read the instructions completely before I even took it out of the box and then installed it exactly as the instructions stated. I can tell you, at least on my Dell all-in-one computer, YES, THIS ITEM (STARTECH USB32HDPRO) DOES IN FACT SUPPORT AUDIO AS WELL AS VIDEO. I run Windows 10 and I didn't need the CD or any other drivers to install. A word of caution: You MUST remove any other USB / Video Card drivers (from possible previous failed attempts at installing other products) before you even plug this item into the USB Port. I also can't comment on the USB 2.0 scenario since my computer is equipped with USB 3.0. Once you install it, you will have an icon in the box on the bottom of the computer that will allow you to switch between watching your computer monitor, the HDMI source you are routing to, or both. You will only have AUDIO on on of the displays - either the monitor or the HDMI source. This is by far the easiest device I have tried and it works. (I tried many others and they simply did not work. One had the instructions written so poorly that I couldn't follow along. I suppose this was similar to a word for word translation directly from China.). So, bottom line is this: This StarTech does in fact support AUDIO and VIDEO, is easy to install if you follow the well written instructions word for word and configure it correctly which is very simple to do.

Pros: Win 10 found driver, no problem. I got the second monitor over USB 3. Worked with USB 2 even through USB HUB.Cons: Win 7 required drivers. Included disk had outdated drivers. After installation, had to update drivers for both Win 10 and Win 7 to get audio through adapter.There is visible delay on screen connected with this adapter ( no matter if it's connected to USB3 or USB2. If mouse hovering over desktop application there's no delay, but if you go over simple internet page, mouse pointer just keep sticking from spot to spot, especially, when it hovers over any link. This doesn't happen with the same co conditions, but when monitor connected directly to HDMI laptop output. There is no delays in that case. The most annoying thing is when monitor, connected through startech adapte,r could not wake up after sleep unless I physically reconnect it. There was delay at first week or two aster sleep and now this. I would return it, but window of return is closed right a week later after last day of return. I wonder if this company survives on this no return window. I switched to "Cable matters" now. No problems with wake up so far. Screen delay is a bit less.
