Works OK. Do not recommend. I just set up 3 monitors and used this to make it easier to hook and unhook my laptop. When my screens were hooked up to this product, there was a perceivable lag, and i don't mean for gaming, i mean just maximizing the windows. Additionally the resolution was bad. It was just barely perceivable overall when watching movies/shows and it was annoyingly obvious in certain items. For example, not sure why it happened on just this one, but the little icon on the web browser for the target website was rendering super pixelated. additionally, the adapter was really war/hot the whole time, and I wasn't really comfortable with that. I did re-install the drivers and tried trouble shooting, but nothing worked. All of these problems went away when I plugged in all three monitors (at the same time) directly to my laptop. I have a pretty robust laptop (need it for work) and it wasn't a laptop issue. I have pictures to show how the target icon was pixelated. If you are OK with a noticeable albeit tolerable lag, a hot adapter, and noticeable resolution degradation, then this might be for you - otherwise i don't recommend it.

Not compatible to M1 chip. In fact after spending an hour with j5 team they told me M1 is cap to two displays only. Now i either have to buy another splitter and figure it out or takes their words for it.
Recap if you own an M1 mac this wont work.

Due to the different hardware in M1 Macs, we currently do not have compatible software. Our research and development team is endlessly working towards a work around and as soon as the drivers are available, customers on the "On-Hold" list will be notified. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this has caused. If you wish to be placed on the wait list, please feel free to contact the support team printed on the casing to speak with a specialist and they will be ready to help. Thank you, j5create

Since we are all working from home now, I decided to redo my workstation. I got a triple monitor mount and added an extra monitor to my work flow. I wanted to dock my Mac and just have it closed in the side. Initially this worked perfectly, until I closed my Mac to doc it. However, if you for any reason need to open the Mac, everything locks up. All in all this works, but I can’t just close my Mac and forget about it. Said computer is a MacBook Pro 2019 edition.

I only have two monitors plugged in and once it get warm, it stops working or freezes up the screens. I expect more for $110. I had to set it on an ice pack to get through my work day.

I purchased this on hopes of splitting my C-type port into an additional two monitors to use with surround viewing while playing american truck simulator. It did not work. However it does work well with displaying additional monitors. I am a Twitch stream and this comes in handy. When playing my pc games I run 3 pc monitors, the laptop screen itself, and the game plays on the 65" tv which is used as a monitor. I have an additional hdmi port on the laptop itself so I could add an additional monitor if I really needed to. 6 screens may be overkill... Maybe. Oh this thing does get hot. I haven't experienced and outside from the heat yet. And lastly I had issueswith my C-type to hdmi cord in the laptop port when the pc would not recognize the monitor when it start or lose connection after the pc enters the screensaver. With this adapter I don't have those issues at all.

The HDMI Adapter functions as an external video card for your computer. It allows you to add four additional monitors/displays through your USB-C port. We're glad the adapter works when you are playing your PC games. Thank you for your review.

Not gonna lie. I was skeptical on this to run my 4 monitors to my laptop but was pretty much plug and play and plugs into my computers usb-c port. As my computer does not need this port to charge this is great. It does get a little warm but have not experienced performance issues so far.

Works great with multiple USB devices; wireless mouse/KB and an external camera.
Every once in a while, I will see a lag in keystrokes. It might happen once or twice a day.
Overall, it works good for me since my Zbook 15 only has 2 USB ports.

I use the j5create USB-C to 4 Port HDMI Adapter Hub to add monitors to my Win 10 desktop. Super easy to install-just plug and play. The HDMI monitors were plugged in and instantly appeared in Windows. No problem getting the screens adjusted and moved to the proper places. All in all, this product is great.

It worked great! It does get a little glitchy if you move it a bit too much, but overall it gets the job done.
