Not with it
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It works but it gets hit and doesn’t work efficiently.

Not satisfied
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This one is not advanced but the price is not low, so I had some expectations for it. Turned out it does support resolution higher than 1080p.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from J5create Team
Posted .We are sorry to hear you were not satisfied with the JUD380. Both the HDMI and VGA support up to 2048 x 1152 @ 60 Hz simultaneously, assuming the monitors support such resolution as well. In the case where you come across such technical difficulties, we recommend contacting support on the packaging to speak with an agent and they will be glad to lend a helping hand in obtaining your preferences, or if needed, suggesting an adapter that will. Again, we apologize for the experience you had and hope we can turn things around in the future.

Highly compatible
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works well. Does what it’s designed for. Only hang up is some latency in response time on blue tooth devices. Should not happen for this price.

Posted .Experiencing latency while using peripherals is inconvenient and we apologize for the experience you've had. There may be troubleshooting that could be done here and if interested, we would value the chance to discuss this; support information can be located on the casing and an agent will be happy to help.

Not worth it
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased item 4 months ago barely used but the few times I have used it intermittently stops working. When I connect a keyboard and mouse to it it will randomly stop working, connected keyboard directly to my computer and I don't have an issue. Same occurs with USB drives will randomly stop reading the drive.

Very Disappointed
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was disappointed with this product, because the VGA port didn’t work. I intend to return it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from J5create Team

Didn’t work for my MAC
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Didn’t work for my Mac, customer service from the company tried to fix the issue but couldn’t. They worked on it for almost a month, still wasn’t successful. My screens would turn on but when I would try to switch users the screens would lock up, but if I unplugged the adapter they were fine and the screens wouldn’t lock up. Great customer support on trying to help, just couldn’t correct problem. Easier to return for another brand.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from J5create Team
Posted .Happyshopper, I regret to hear the JUD380 would lock up and support was unable to assist. Depending on what was already attempted, we would value the opportunity to further discuss and see what else can be done. In rare occasions, we will create a ticket and send it to our research and development team for further assistance. If possible, we would value the chance to discuss and see what else can be done. Our support team can be reached with it's information printed on the casing and a rep will gladly assist.

Great product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Exactly what I wanted. Please note you might need the extra power cord. The usb doesn’t have enough power to run everything.
I would recommend this to a friendBrand response from J5create Team
Posted .Heavy-wattage devices such as external hard drives may require the additional 5V power source to be connected on the JUD380 - the USB ports are intended for mostly mice, keyboards, flash drives, and web cameras. We apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused and would value the chance to attempt troubleshooting with support information on the casing if in the future you were to run into the same issues with our adapters. Thank you for the review.

Not as advertised
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Lags when you connect two monitors. Mouse skips around and hard to use.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from J5create Team
Posted .Hello and thank you for the input on the JUD380. In the case where the mouse is skipping around and difficult to use, it sounds like you may be running into radio interference which results in such performance. We recommend using a wired mouse instead. In regards to monitors lagging, this could be due to the type of programs in use and we may be able to recommend a plug-and-play adapter which will work better for you. In order to make the best suggestions, I recommend reaching out to us and speaking with a specialist. Our contact information can be found on the packaging and an agent will be happy to help.

Docking station: MUST DOWNLOAD SOFTWARE
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was told this was “plug and play”. I bought it for my work laptop and now cannot use it because I cannot download the software. Now I am stuck with a $70 item that I have zero use for. Make sure the Rep you work with is accurate in his description. Very disappointed, this was money I didn’t have to just throw away.

NOT WORKING FOR Big Sur(MAC)
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this device recently to use for school. It was working fine until I updated my Mac to Big Sur. These guys still have not come up for the drivers for this device. Now the adapter has been rendered useless. It is now too late to return it. I guess I should have purchased another device.
