      Streaming from your phone to a TV at 4k resolution has never been easier; the JCA153G requires no complex driver install getting you up in a jiffy - thanks for your feedback.

    As of 12/05/23, this adapter does NOT work with iPhone 15 Pro. Dont buy this expecting it to work, it will not. It stretches the image weirdly and it doesnt give you any audio. Could be an iOS issue or an issue with the adapter, but either way im not impressed.

      iPhones may not mirror the screen to external displays in the same way as some other devices, and the experience can vary depending on the app and content. iPhones may not automatically route audio through external displays. For audio output, you may need a separate solution, such as connecting external speakers to the iPhone or using Bluetooth audio devices. j5create

    Compatible and worked with my Mac Book Pro. The greatest thing is that this component was less expensive than the comparable Apple unit.

      MacBook Pro owners looking to quickly add another screen can count on the JCA153G; supporting up to 4k resolution @ 60 Hz makes this PnP adapter a handy gadget.

    I was in a rush after buying my MacBook Pro and needed to be able to connect it to my tv in the bedroom. I should have picked up the Apple brand one instead. Some times it reads the tv, sometimes not .

      Intermittency can lead to disappointment and we are sorry to hear this was your experience with the JCA153G. Because the JCA153G connects via USB-C, it is possible that if there was a cover on the Mac it could have impeded a snug connection that is required for proper functionality. In order to further investigate and get the device working as intended, we recommend reaching out to support on the casing to speak with a rep and they will be glad to help.

    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.

      This Video Adapter works with devices that can support "DisplayPort Alt Mode" over USB for video out.

    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.

      The JCA152 is designed to provide a reliable 4K HDMI output while also allowing power delivery, but connection issues like the one you described can sometimes be related to the USB-C port on the computer, the HDMI cable, or compatibility with certain laptops.

      If you haven’t already, we recommend double-checking that your laptop’s USB-C port supports video output (DP Alt Mode), as not all USB-C ports do. Also, using a high-speed HDMI cable rated for 4K can help ensure a consistent signal. j5create
