Review: Great Product with Plug and Play Simplicity! - First off, I want to state that I have looked at a couple of similar items from this brand, "Plugable" recently and it is fast becoming one of my most trusted accessory brands. Their products do not seem to disappoint and this USB to Single HDMI adapter was no exception. As before, this device has good build quality and is more than durable enough for its intended role. It is quite compact and is a very simple yet very effective device. I appreciate that there is a tethered dongle that will allow you to make use of this with either a "legacy" USB-A connection or a USB-C. However, I would have liked it more if it were the other way around with a permanent USB-C with the legacy USB-A connector as the tethered dongle adapter piece. I say that just because USB-C is fast becoming the norm or defacto standard and if you intend to use this with a newer notebook pc, you will more than likely be making the connection via USB-C and not legacy "A". In any event, it functions very well using either method of connection, so I am not really complaining but just pointing out what my preference would have been. In actual use I am pleased with the operation of this HDMI Adapter. It works just described and it is basically just a straight plug and play device. Just to clarify, I only made use of this with a Windows based system, so I cannot offer opinion on a Mac based setup. In my application, I was making use of this to create a second display for use in a Virtual Pinball setup using a notebook PC that had only a single video output. This Plugable adatper functions perfectly so that I can use the main 15.6" display of the notebook for the "backglass/DMD" screen and this Plugable adapter is feeding a 27" screen, in vertical mode, to function as the main pinball "playfield". Overall, I am impressed with this Plugable USB to Single HDMI Adapter. I have now looked at several differing products from this brand it is seems to impress me each and every time. They also have a 2 year warranty with email technical support so I feel you can purchase their products with confidence. At the current listing price of $89, I feel this is more than reasonable considering the good build quality and how well this item works. My only issue is that as I noted previously, I would have preferred that USB-C was the primary connector in the dongle setup, but I am still giving this product a 5 out of 5. Highly Recommended! Review: It works with M1 Mac and supports rotations - I have a Macbook air (M1, 2020). Once download their app 'IntantView', it just plugs and plays. Can change rotation, resolution and refresh rate up to 72 hertz.
