I missed the part about needing USB for power
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It works as I expected it but it takes a vital USB port on my Mac to keep it powered (even if you're only using one monitor). Now I have a USB - 4 port hub stuck next to this which gives the Macbook a wild set of wires poking out. I understand using the USB for two displays (kinda) but not for one. there are multiple single display HDMI/DisplayPort converters that require no USB slot. So if you MUST use two external displays, this would be good. 5 Stars if it didn't require USB.

Works, but doesn't work
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this adapter to connect two monitors to a MacBook air. Turns out that it does work if you want mirrored monitors but not if you want extended monitors. In other words, if you want two monitors showing the same thing, it works ok, but not if you want something different on each monitor. It seems to be incompatible with Sierra, but does not really indicate that on the outside of the box.

Works amazingly well!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When I first saw this adapter, I did not know this was possible to even do. I use it on my surface pro and mirror to my large screen tv, while at the same time mirroring the signal to my monitor at my desk. With this I am able to use it both as my multimedia pc and my desktop computer. Most important thing to note is that you MUST HAVE display port 1.2 or above for this to work. As well as mirroring you can also extend, so you can have different things on either one of the monitors you have connected. Essentially it gives you two separate monitor connections from the one mini display port! No installation was needed, it was all automatic and could immediately configure in windows display settings. One very important thing to keep in mind is that this adapter needs external USB power to function. So therefore you need to plug it in to either the USB port on your device, or a wall adapter for it to work. Not really a big deal, and it comes with the cord to do so. Overall I am quite happy! Kept me from spending 200 dollars on a docking station.

product works well. no issues
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.works well. no issues. I did not know it needed a USB port for power..not the end of the world, and it was probably me that didn't read the requirements..i had a spare port anyways, so it worked fine.

Easy plug and play
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I can only get one monitor to work. The second one is getting a signal to it because it questions me about resolution just like the first monitor did but will not produce a picture.

Works Reasonably well with MS Surface Dock
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this for use with a SurfacePro4 and MS Surface Dock. The Good: It works most of the time. Allows me to drive 2 external 1080 LCD Displays (via HDMI or DisplayPort) with the Surface when Docked. Interoperates pretty well with W10 and the Display Settings, Project to External Monitor, Display Properties, etc. Docking and Undocking works the majority of the time without user Intervention. The Bad: Periodically it will loose the 2nd Display when Re-Docking. Rebooting the machine usually clears this up but its a pain. This does not happen when connecting 1 monitor directly to surface dock and 1 monitor directly to surface itself.
