    Rated 3 out of 5 stars

    It works

    The reason I gave this 3 stars is not because it doesn't work because it does work. The problem is if I do not use this over priced adapter, I am not able to get more then 2 monitors to work with my Surface Dock and my Surface Book 2. I want to use 2 external monitors and the Surface Monitor. Problem is if I do not use the MS Adapter, I can only use 2 total monitors. If this adapter wasn't $60, I would be fine with it.

    This adapter works beautifully with my surface pro and my new monitor. It was quite pricey, however. I paid a $140 for a 27" monitor and $40 for this adapter.

    This cable was great. Worked exactly like it should. Broadcasting my surface pro onto TV. I returned only because of cost. I felt it was a little too expensive for the amount of time I would be using. If you would be using this a lot then it’s great and I would recommend buying

    Good reliable Microsoft product. You can find cheaper online but I prefer the quality and this won’t stop working after 1 year.

    The adapter did not work properly with my dock, but did work connected directly to my device. I communicated with Microsoft Support and tried several things. They said the next step would be to exchange it, as the one I had may have something not working correctly. I exchanged for a different production lot and my system now works properly.

    ...discovered it is TERRIBLY overpriced. There is a huge difference between making a profit and gouging. $6 - $38 is a HUUUGE price range.

    It does what it should but I think the price point for a passive HDMI dongle is way to high

    This worked exactly as it is intended for. Let me place my computer screen on to an older non smart tv that had a usb connection. 3 stars because I discovered cheaper alternative to accomplish the same task. I got a generic one for a second location. Works just as good

    This is an extension onto the standard cable. My new computer only has the mini connection so I bought this adapter. The larger screen doesn't look as sharp as with my old computer and the standard video end, but I don't know if it's the new computer or the adapter. Still, it works so...

    It did not do what I needed it to. It was more my error than the items. Can't speak to it's quality.

    It's a cable. How great can it be? If only every third device didn't need a different adapter....... the universe would end?
