StarTech Slim USB 3.0 to HDMI External Video Card Multi Monitor Adapter

Bought this year and a half ago and it worked great for 18 months and now it works sporadically. Sometimes the computer recognizes it and other times it doesn't. I've downloaded the latest driver and it still works sporadically.

No need to install any drivers, they are installed automatically in Windows 11 and my third screen now works with the correct resolutions already configured. Once connected to the computer, you have to wait 1 or 2 minutes before everything is correctly configured though.

I was very frustrated after spending several weeks and money trying to find a device to add a 3rd monitor to my Huawei Matebook D15. Long story short, I found out after buying another expensive adapter, that the Type-C port on my laptop doesn't transmit video signal (FML!!!). I came across this StarTech adapter, but was hesitant at the beginning because I had never tried a video adapter that connects via USB, but at the end I decided to give it a try in order to exhaust any available options to accomplish what I needed. Once I got it, I downloaded the latest driver from their website, followed the installation instructions, and upon restarting my computer and connecting the HDMI cable to the adapter, Voila?! I got video! Although I couldn't use the 75Hz that my monitor supports, I felt happy to finally had found what I needed. Cheers,

I bought this several months ago and so far it has worked very well. Customer support is fantastic for any issues experienced.

It works fine obviously if drivers are always update. I have had this adapter since three years ago. The only problem sometimes are the updates but works fine. StarTech is definitely an excellent brand for me.

I've been using the adapter for a few months now and it's been working fine. I wish it had support for Linux/Ubuntu.

Well what can I say about this product? Simply that Startech have once again delivered a great device that gives the ability to easily add extra monitors to a laptop or desktop. I had previously been running the older VGA versions for a number of years and I have to say they worked flawlessly. My reason for buying the newer ones is that I upgraded my monitors so thought that I would take the time to upgrade the cards as well. I have been using these now for over a year with no issues. I have 4 of these cards connected to my personal laptop. I can also unplug them and plug them into my work laptop with no issues either. Simply if you want an easy way to add more monitors then buy these. I know next time I swap my monitors in a year or so I will also be upgrading the video cards to the 4K ones as the Startech USB video cards have not let me down over the last 7 years I have been using these and their predecessors.

I have a laptop with just VGA and HDMI. I have two external monitors, one has DVI and DisplayPort, but no HDMI (it's a 1200 res unit), and my other unit has HDMI and displayport but no DVI. Basically didn't have a way to light them both up (can't use the vga and the HDMI from the laptop at the same time (aarrgghh). So, saw this and PRESTO - two monitors both running at 1200 res, it even (by pure fluke I guess) set itself up as my right hand monitor - exactly what I needed. It's brilliant.
