    Just needed it to get my set up working 100%. This was the last piece to a very complex set up.

      The JCA153G's unique capabilities supporting up to 4k resolution at 60 Hz along with solid build makes this an attractive choice for adding another display to work off - thanks for the positive review!.

    Sometimes the HDMI side is very loose and ends up disconnecting the screen. Wouldn't recommend if the laptop you connect it to is something you disconnect often.

      We're sorry to hear the JCA153G is loose, causing a bad experience - we do have other adapters available and would love the opportunity to discuss them with you to find a better fit for your needs; if interested, our support information can be found on the packaging and an agent will be ready to help, thank you.

    This adapter worked with one projection system, but then left me out to dry in a second presentation. The image appeared, blinked off, blinked on again, blinked off again ... just impossible. I purchased the Apple adapter and it worked fine. Tested this one again, and the blinking was there. Avoid this product.

      Hello,
      Thank you for your feedback. I would recommend checking if there is excess tension on the cable between your computer and the monitor, or if anything may be pulling on the cable. I hope that you have a good day.

      Hello Teresita, the video adapter works with devices that supports "DisplayPort Mode" for video output. We do offer a JUA165C that will work with your Motorola Stylus with the "j5 Display Adapter App" installed on your phone. Respectfully, j5 j5create
