Pros & Cons
Pros
The tech support from startech is incredible. If you're trying to run an ultrawide monitor (maxing out at 1920x1080, this adapter is the bomb.
Cons
This product stops heats up and stops working. Works fine as a passive mdp to hdmi but will not power up a third monitor like an active one would. Even though the description specifically says this will work with the surface pro 3 and surface pro 4 th... Read More
They're basically disposable adapters. Poor quality. Very frustrating. Will be returning.
Highlights
Quality
Refresh rates are correct image quality is better and sleeping equipment actually sleeps
Paid a little extra for the brand and glad i did this product works great i need another one
Cable works but quality could have been better
Price
Easy to use and a good price
Startech is a good brand in my opinion
The hdmi ports on it don’t support the higher refresh rate
Packaging/appearance
Only started working after using switch res x too but this seems to be the only way to get 4k 60 hz from the rmbp
Competitiveness
Ive been happy with my other startech products as well
Ive bought several startech adapter products over the years and they have never let me down
I have a visiontek graphics card with 2 hdmi and 1 mini displayport for a triple 4k monitor set up
I had a moment of weakness and bought a few similar devices in a local bigbox general merchandise store
