Its the only USB-C to HDMI Adapter that worked for three monitors

Good adapter for your newer MacBook Air or anything Apple has decided to delete ports on and just leave you with UBB-C ports. However, this thing gets hot. It has a metal shell that gets very warm to the touch. It also draws down your battery. Works best when connected to power. Another thing to consider the shell and cable end are metal. So they will scratch your computer if left to in your bag loose. Other wise it does work good.
Mac, Windows, Chromebook, Android users looking to add monitor and Ethernet connectivity, SD card reading and USB ports for gadgets can do so with the JCD383, it's PnP design requires no software installation. In regards to the temperature of the JCD383, that is normal under operating conditions due to electricity running through the adapter. If the JCD383 is becoming concerningly hot, please feel free to reach out to the technical support team printed on the casing and a specialist will be happy to help. Respectfully, j5create

Works fine but not enough USB ports. Way too expensive.
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I have a newer HP laptop with one HDMI port. I wanted two monitors. I was looking for a product to allow plugging in another monitor from a USB port. I looked at various reviews and this product looked good. It would use the USB Type-C port which is faster. However, when I plugged in the adapter I immediately saw a message on my screen that "Display connection might be limited". Sure enough the HDMI port on the adapter did not function. After hours of research I determined that the adapter is just fine. The laptop has generation 1 USB Type-C which does not support display output. I wish I had known that!
I bought another j5create adapter that would go from USB Type-A to HDMI. I plugged this one into one of the USB Type-A ports on the Type-C adapter and the HDMI worked almost immediately. I did not even have to download any driver. Actually, when I went to the j5create site and tried to download a driver, Malwarebytes strongly suggested not doing that. I dunno, I have downloaded other drivers with no complaint by Malwarebytes. Anyway, make sure your USB Type-C supports generation 2 if you want to use the HDMI output. By the way, I bought the laptop from Best Buy. Looking at the specs on the Best Buy site for the laptop it is not clear that the USB Type-C port does not support display. I had to go to the HP site and get a technical manual (supposedly only for technicians who work on the laptop) to determine the facts.
I'm sorry about that but I hope that you've been able to get up and running in the mean time. I'll forward your feedback onto my team so that we can continue to improve on our devices.
Thanks, j5create

This adapter allows us to plug in our different accessaries and also reads the card from my game camera. It is a necessity for us.

The perfect companion for your Surface Laptop

I love, love, love my new Surface Laptop 3 (15"). But the ONLY thing I don't like is the substantive lack of ports. It was hard for me to believe that it had fewer ports than my Surface Pro 4! So, I needed something that would allow me to hook up all my gizmos to my new amazing computer. This did the trick! When I'm not at my desk (where I have a Surface Dock that does all that), this is the perfect portable hub to connect all the goodies to your slimmed down laptop (even if it's not a Surface - USB-C is awesome).
Hi Casey, we are very pleased to know the JCD383 is working as a charm for you and meeting your everyday expectations, if you ever have any questions, feel free to contact the support team on the packaging and we will be glad to assist. Respectfully, j5create

Got a new laptop and needed more ports. This definitely was exactly what I was looking for.

This adapter works very well for my purposes since I periodically need to connect via and HDMI cable for a large display, connect various USB memory sticks or SD cards. Also the ability to connect a laptop to a hard-wired network connection makes for much quicker backups and downloads. My only possible complaint is that the unit does run quite warm.
It is expected to observe that the aluminum shell of the USB-C hub gets warmer, especially if the USB-C pass-through charging and/or all ports on the hub are utilized.

This thing is awesome does everything I need it to with ports to spare. A little pricy though.

No complaints. So far it works well and I bought it mostly to cast hdmi from my computer as there is not one built in. It worked as it should had. I had to download some software for it and I didn't find navigating the website all that easy but I was able to figure it out

If you ever have any questions or concerns regarding your device, please feel free to reach out to the support team mentioned on the casing or website and a specialist will be glad to help.

Needed extra UBS ports for my new HP laptop. This works well and sits nicely behind my laptop out of the way.
