QuestionI want to connect a Dell monitor to my MacBook Pro macOS 10.15.7. After downloading the driver manually, the adaptor is not recognized when I try to connect to Dell monitor. When I run a System Report - Hardware - USB, I don't see Insignia listed.
Asked 5 years ago by Michele.
- Answer There are two issues will cause the computer cannot recognize the NS-PCA3D. 1. The driver has not installed successfully. 2. The connection of the hardware is not properly complete. Verify driver installation. Please make sure the driver has been installed successfully. 1. Click the Apple icon, then click “About This Mac”→”System Report”→”Software”→”Extensions”, look for the “MCT Display” & “MCT Trigger6USB” (Refer to the picture "verification_Step1") 2. Please make sure the “Security & Privacy” has allow the app to record the contents of your screen. (Refer to the picture "verification_Step2") Verify NS-PCA3D (USB 3.0 Display Adapter) added to the system. 1. Restart the computer after finishing the driver installation, then connect the DisplayPort monitor to NS-PCA3D, turn on the DisplayPort monitor. Plug the NS-PCA3D to the USB 3.0 port of your computer (MacBook Pro). 2. Make sure the NS-PCA3D has been recognized . Click the Apple icon, then click “About This Mac”→”System Report”→”Hardware”→”USB”, look for “Insignia USB 3.0 Display Adapter Station”. (Refer to the picture "verification_adapter")

QuestionI have a gaming laptop that has only an HDMI port. I recently bought a 2K monitor with a maximum frame rate of 185 hz, but when I connect my HDMI, its maximum frame rate is 144 hz. Does this adapter help my laptop to project 2k for up to 185/240 hz?
Asked 1 year ago by E.
- Answer The Insignia USB 3.0 to DisplayPort Adapter allows you to connect a DisplayPort-capable monitor to a USB port on your laptop. However, there are several factors you need to consider regarding whether this adapter will help you achieve the 185Hz or higher refresh rate you are aiming for with your 2K monitor. 1. USB 3.0 Bandwidth: USB 3.0 typically has enough bandwidth to support video output, but the adapter must be designed to deliver the required resolution and refresh rate. Many USB to DisplayPort adapters can support 2K resolutions (such as 2560x1440) at higher refresh rates, but it’s essential to check the specific specifications of the adapter you plan to purchase. 2. DisplayPort Version: The version of DisplayPort supported by the adapter will impact the maximum resolution and refresh rate it can handle. For instance, DisplayPort 1.2 can support up to 144Hz at 2K, while DisplayPort 1.4 can theoretically handle up to 240Hz at 2K, depending on other factors. 3. Monitor Capabilities: Ensure that your monitor really can support 185Hz or higher at 2K resolution via the DisplayPort connection. If the monitor only supports that refresh rate over certain inputs (like DisplayPort 1.4), then the adapter needs to match those specifications. 4. Driver Requirements: Sometimes, using USB adapters may require specific drivers to function optimally. Make sure to install any necessary drivers for the adapter. 5. HDMI Limitations: Since you mentioned using an HDMI port, remember that the HDMI version on your laptop can also limit refresh rates and resolutions. HDMI 1.4 typically supports 2K at 60Hz, while HDMI 2.0 can support it at 144Hz.

QuestionNeed to use this as a 2nd external display on a work laptop. Installed the driver, device is recognized and says it's working. Display plugged in remains dark as if no signal. Windows does not show another monitor in 'display settings' to work with. Why?
Asked 3 years ago by Tib.
- Answer System was restarted multiple times, all indicators saying device working just fine. Gave up and returned the device; it was unclear whether an OS side problem or a device failure. Instead I got an HDMI -> mini-DP adapter, since my laptop had that port and I had not noticed it previously. Now I have two monitors running fine.
