Is fast and works as expected, very easy to install but, it gets really hot too soon. Fortunetely since it works outside just make sure to be on an A/C environment or use an external fan.

If you’re looking for a USB-C to HDMI adapter to pass through FreeSync or G-Sync for VRR, this won’t do that. I’ve tried 3 different adapters now and I am convinced it’s simply not possible. If that was your goal, hopefully I saved you a bit of trouble. That said, you can get an adapter with equal functions for less than half the price.

The j5create USB-C to HDMI JCA157 adapter works excellent with my Lenovo 900 laptop computer. I understand it will not work with ALL usb-c’s, however, j5create technical department Julian replied to my inquiry and determined it would work with my laptop. I was hesitant to purchase it as I had purchased another brand from another supplier and it did not work correctly. Thank you Julian at j5create for the excellent technical support.

Replaced several cheaper options I had previously tried to use to connect my MacBook Pro to a monitor, this one worked like a dream compared to the cheap things I bought off Amazon. It has continued working seamlessly for three months, which is 2 and a half months longer than the last one I had.

Inexpensive USB-C to HDMI adapter for a MACBook that couldn't be bothered to put an HDMI port in their expensive laptops!
The good news is this works like a charm. Simple to use, compact, and very affordable. I'm not sure why they put the rainbow LEDs on the side, it's minor.

Stopped working after 4 months

I bought this to connect my laptop to my TV because my laptop didn't have any hdmi ports, only usb-c/thunderbolt. It worked great for the first few months that I had it, and the RGB lights were a gimmicky, but still fun feature. Picture quality was great!
Then one day, it just stopped working. I thought it might have been my hdmi cables but I tried it with various TVs and computer monitors and the adapter would only blink yellow. My laptop kept saying there was a problem with the usb connection. I also tested it by plugging into other laptops and desktops. Unfortunately, still no dice. Next time, I'll stick to a basic adapter because this one was too expensive to only last 4 months.
