    We use this to watch Disney+ on our non-smart TV. It has some trouble with sound cutting in and out on occasion but overall gets the job done.

      Sound cutting in and out can be very disruptive and we can definitely comprehend that, we recommend contacting the support team on the packaging to see if the device i potentially defective and if not, find you a solution to this situation.

    Much more expensive then it needs to be. I recommend the Best Buy essentials version. I would not have bought this if the Best Buy version was available.

      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.
      Thank you,

      The JCA153G's PnP nature will have you using a bigger screen to work off or simply mirroring your DP alt-mode supporting phone in seconds - we value your input.

      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

    If you have a Mac with the M1 chip, j5create does not support it yet. I just bought one today and took it home to use with my new monitor (LG - 27” UltraGear QHD Nano IPS 1ms 165Hz HDR Monitor with G-SYNC Compatibility - Black). I have another LG monitor and I'm using a macbook air 2020. Really disappointed.

      The HDMI Adapter does not require any drivers for installation. The device is a Plug n Play, there are no software's available. However, if you are connecting 2 external displays, you will only be able to display 1, that is the limitation hardware for computers with the M1 chip. j5create

      Hi KevinB, thanks for your feedback. The JCA153G is a PnP and some phones have a feature called "DisplayPort Alt. Mode to support Plug and Play devices. We also have the JUA165C Adapter and all is needed is an app. If you would like to know more about any of our products, please feel free to contact us and we'll be happy to help.

      Hello,
      Glad to hear that the JCA153G is working well for you. A USB-C port is really versatile and is becoming the standard connection on some laptops.

    I purchased this to connect my Wacom drawing tablet to my computer since I only have 1 HDMI port. When I plugged it in my drawing tablet would not have any signal. When I purchased the Insignia™ - VGA to HDMI Adapter - White, my drawing table worked.

      Jennifer, I'm sorry to hear the JCA153G did not work with your Wacom tablet. Because the JCA153G requires that your device e.g. Wacom tablet support video output via USB-C and it does not, this will not work for you. I'm sorry about the inconvenience this caused and if you have questions, comments, or concerns we may address, please feel free to contact the technical support team mentioned on the packaging and an agent will be ready to help.

      Hello Blair,
      We appreciate that you took your time to leave a review. Because of the aluminum construction of the adapter it may feel warmer than plastic constructed adapters that may have used in the past. That being said if you feel that the adapter is getting too hot where it may cause damage I would recommend exchanging it at the retailer where you purchased it from or contact j5create customer support. Our contact information is on the product packaging and on our website under the ‘Support’ drop down.
      Thank you,
