Perfect!

I thought I'd try these since them come in a set of two and I'm glad I purchased. They both work perfect, fit in phone like they should and charge at a normal pace. Highly recommend!!

Cassett pick up works great
By Norman Brown Jr.
I was surprised that the sound quality was excellent. No feed back, no distortion at all.
A whole lot better then trying to listen to blue tooth with the background interference. Received in excellent condition as promised.

Good quality!!
By Michael
Its being about 2-3 months now of usage and have had no issues at all so I have no complaints, just be aware all cassete players will make noise at top volume when there is no music playing (you don't expect it to be like CD quality), I think this adapter should be one of the quitest.

Worked fine for a couple of weeks
By Ryan M.
This was exactly what I was looking for, however after less than a month of light usage, this morning it started being rejected by the tape deck in my car. It looks like one of the fake spools has started to stick. Too bad, really. I liked it before then. I'm glad it wasn't very expensive.

works fine if you have to use VGA
By Omar Siddique
An inexpensive way to connect your Macbook to old-style VGA inputs. This one worked fine with my 2013 Macbook Pro (Retina) running Mavericks without any configuration.

With the macbook lid open, the external screen defaulted to an extension (lower-res) of the laptop display. With the lid closed, the external display was the "complete" display. These are configurable, but worth noting the default behavior-- by contrast, with a Mini Displayport to Displayport adapter, the default was to "mirror" the displays even when the macbook lid is open.

The VGA connection is by definition an analog one, so if you have the option, you should use something else. My order of preference is (mini)DisplayPort, HDMI, DVI-D.

VGA connectors are my last choice, but this adapter is handy to have if you're in the lamentable situation of needing to use this old analog method (eg, connecting to older projectors). It's nice that AmazonBasics adapters provide a cheap, reliable alternative to expensive Apple-branded accessories. Recommended if you need to connect your Macbook to a VGA-input display.

Worked right out of the box on my Microsoft Surface
By Billy Hollis
There's not much to say about a cable. All you really need to know is what it's good for and whether it works.

If you have a mini-DisplayPort on your device, and you need VGA output, this is the cable for that. Several tablet form-factor devices, including the Microsoft Surface, have such a port.

I plugged this thing into my Surface, and then got a VGA monitor with a VGA cable to go with it, plugged it all together, and it just worked.

Note that the VGA side is female, so you need another VGA male-to-male cable to make it work with typical VGA monitors and projectors. Almost all the VGA cables you are likely to have around are male-to-male, so that should not be a problem.

This is very short, so you would need another cable anyway. But for travel purposes, that's good. If you are connecting to a VGA projector, the cable will be available, and you probably don't want to be carrying a long cable around.

I already had a cable to get HDMI out of my Surface, but trying to daisy-chain that with a HDMI-to-VGA cable didn't work. So I'm now carrying two cables, and with those, my Surface should be able to talk to just about any projector or monitor I run across.

Not just for an Apple Device
By Mugsy
I ordered this to use on a new Dell Laptop and a Microsoft Surface Pro II that both use DisplayPort technology. Arrived on time (Prime Account), as should be expected and paid for. Easy to connect and it worked on both devices. Price was a lot cheaper than others out there and it does the job. Only concern is that the screw inserts are a little sunk into the frame and it may be difficult to firmly attach a VGA display cable to it. Other then that I would have rated it a "5".

Too slow to be class 10
By BobbyA
I tested the Kingston 8GB class 10 micro SD card using ATTO Disk BenchMark v2.46
Write speed was approximately 7.5 MB/sec, Read speed was approximately 12 MB/sec.
I requested an RMA from Kingston and returned it for an exchange. The new one measured:
Write speed approximately 7 MB/sec, Read speed approximately 13 MB/sec.
Compare these to a Kingston 8GB micro SD class 4 from 2 years ago, which measured:
Write speed approximately 9 MB/sec, Read speed approximately 16 MB/sec.
Or an ADATA 8GB micro SD class 6 (FWIW 1st one of these had to be exchanged too):
Write speed approximately 7 MB/sec, Read speed approximately 16 MB/sec.

Conclusion, unless an application only needs to read quickly, where cameras for instance need to write quickly, I would not buy this SD card again for class 10 performance, since I can get the same result with cheaper claas cards, or better performance with another brand. I also tested each card in my Nikon DSLR, results tracked the Benchmark testing, measured as number of pictures in a 20 second period with the shutter button held down.

Update:
I recently bought a Wintec 16GB class 10, same measurement setup indicated 12 MB/sec write, 16 MB/sec read speed. Besides the wintec actually doing what it was advertised to, these results indicate nothing in my hardware was keeping the Kingston card from achieving 10 MB/sec if it had been good enough.

Returned 2, didn't meet class 10 rating minimum. My class 6 whooped it.
By Amazon Dealfinder
SD cards have a universal standard they have to meet to get a class rating. The class number guarantees a minimum write speed. MINIMUM being the point, it is NOT an average.

This card is highly rated by numerous computer hardware websites that benchmark flash card memory. On all of those sites the benchmarks show this card exceeding it's rated write speed of 10MB/s (most by double the rated speed).

This particular card is rated as a class 10 and therefore have a minimum of 10MB a sec. After using 5 different benchmark programs on 2 computers and an Android phone my results were: Writing speed: 6-8.6 MByte/s, Reading speed: 15-18.2 MByte/s.

At this point I still trust the Kingston name so I have opted for an exchange.

UPDATE: Got the replacement, tested with the same 5 programs and pretty much got the same result (ever so slightly higher average). So I am returning it and going to try another brand (keep reading).

On a side note. I decided to test my Lexar Professional Series 8 GB 133x Class 6 SDHC Flash Memory Card SD8GB-133-381 that I bought here on Amazon back in Mar09. That class 6 card, with the same benchmark programs were: Writing speed: 16-17.8 MB/s, Reading speed: 19-21.2 MB/s.

Failed and "Lifetime Warranty" is pretty useless
By Mark Edelstein
I bought the card and it worked fine for about 3 months than completely failed. Since it has a "Lifetime Warranty", I took advantage of that, returned it to Kingston, and since have had to follow up every step of the return process.

I got delivery confirmation from the Postal Service, then had to send Kingston an e mail two days after the card was delivered to find out what the status was on the order. Their website said they'd be a little more speedy on processing warranty claims. Two days later I got a note that they'd get the mailroom to move the package through, which they seem to have done, although it should have already moved through based on what their website says. I waited a day for an update on their website as to the status of the return and checked it this morning.

They finally processed the return, but DARN THE LUCK, the replacement item is BACKORDERED. I called customer service, and the lady was very nice, but told me the item "Just went on backorder" so she had no idea as to when it would be coming in and would have to check with their engineers to find out. Engineers? She didn't offer a replacement product or any other solution other than to wait to hear back from the engineers.

The card was OK, but when it failed I lost everything on it. Now I'm waiting longer than I should have to for a replacement. What good is a warranty if you can't replace a defective product? I'm not a happy man.

Perhaps not the best option, for some
By Jonathan Evatt
I think the price Apple charges for this kit is expensive, but I think that applies to all Apple products, so many Apple product users may not consider that an issue (as we were willing to buy the product in the first place, right?). What I think adds to that issue is that many people may only want one adapter for one region they are travelling to. Apple does not provide an option for this, and this kit may then be overkill as a solution.

The other issue I have with this kit is that it forces you to use the full power adapter directly in the socket. This can be a major inconvenience if sockets and socket space is limited. It is for this reason that for people planning to travel to multiple regions with different plug types I suggest you consider buying Incipio Technologies TK-201 The Continental Companion Cables International Adapters for Apple Block Chargers. This gives you plugs for all regions and has thin, compact cables between the adapter and the plug. This means you can take up just one socket. I think this is important when travelling as one rarely knows what the socket situation will be in hotels, friends homes, airports, cafés, etc.. In public places especially, I have found socket space is often limited (usually by other people using them).

If you need a USB power adapter for your Apple device there are many inexpensive options available. This one (USB/AC for MP3 Players - White) for instance is very inexpensive ($2.70 as I write this) and has great ratings. This kit (Apple iPod USB Travel Kit with Car Charger/ Travel Adapter/ Cable - White) is also very cheap (a few dollars), has Amazon Prime, and includes what you may find useful for keeping your USB charged devices ready to go. As far as I can tell from the photo its upports 110 to 240 v.

I was not able to determine, however, if the USB/AC charger supports 110 to 240 volt power. This USB charger does though - Universal USB Wall Charger for Apple Ipod Mp3 Shuffle Nano Video Touch Classic Iphone.

My other tip is this:
If you are planning to just travel to one location needing a different plug type, I suggest just buying a pin adapter. I use them all the time. One like this would do the trick nicely (also has Amazon Prime option).

UPDATE (Nov 2010): I notice that the Incipio Technologies TK-201 kit I recommended as an alternative to this one is currently (and often) not available here on Amazon. You can get it elsewhere on the net (you'll just have to search for it). Another option, however, is to simply get a compact pin adpater kit. One that is small and very inexpensive is Lenmar AC5 World Travel Adapter Plug Set. That way you take your existing plugs and things with you, and the pin adapter(s) for the countries you plan to visit. This is a perfectly viable option, because all your Apple power adapters (for iphone, ipod, macbook, etc.) will support 110 to 250v, so it is really just the pins you are needing to adapt.

UPDATE ( Aug 2012): It appears Incipio has ceased making the product I recommended. Sorry to see that. So my recommendation sits with a World Travel Adapter plug, such as the Lenmar one mentioned in my 2010 update above.

I trust this has been of help to you.

Well Made but Pricey Set of Power Connectors
By Glenn R. Howes
I purchased this for use with my wife's iPhone and iPod Touch while in China. I somewhat regret this as she will be using only 2 of the included plugs i.e., China and the United States.

The plugs themselves are of impeccable quality, and appear to conform to Apple's usual high standards. This does count for something as you can often get what you pay for. However, I would recommend that only people with unusually diverse itineraries purchase this kit and instead get a general purpose adaptor for the countries you actually intend to visit as that will be much cheaper.

Things I wish were true: I wish an airplane adaptor was included. I wish the individual plugs had their countries stamped upon them instead of having to look them up in the manual--some plugs are quite similar; the Chinese plug looks identical to the U.S. plug except for round holes cut out of the prongs of the U.S. plug. I wish it were cheaper.

I don't believe the included power block will work with an iPad. An iPad has at least twice the power requirements of an iPhone. I had a short discussion at the local Genius Bar and the Genius told me that the connectors would work with the high capacity power block which ships with an iPad.

Amazon makes a competing product which also contains an auto charger, the AmazonBasics Travel Adapter Kit for iPod; iPhone 3G; iPhone 3GS; iPhone 4 for about the same price. I have both, and I recommend the Apple product because of the flexibility of using the plug modules with different Apple power supplies, from MacBooks to the 2.1 Amp power supply of an iPad.

COUNTERFEIT CARD - DO NOT BUY
By Matt Miller
I ordered two of these cards, because they were such a good deal. Quite naive of me; when I had trouble getting it to work in my phone, I did a few searches online and found the there had been a spate of counterfeit 32GB cards a couple years ago. The postings recommended using a free, downloadable program called H2testw, which tests flash memory for errors & counterfeiting. I did so with both cards, and sure enough they actually only had just shy of 2GB of genuine, writable memory.

The fact that both items were counterfeit in the same way, and were in the same packaging, leads me to suspect that all are likely fake, in which case the listing itself should of course be removed, and anyone who purchased fraudulent cards reimbursed for all costs associated. I was able to get a return immediately, but am in the position of having to pay for shipping myself. I have sent the seller and Amazon an email requesting that I not have to pay any shipping, as the items were counterfeit rather than simply defective. I'll update as events unfold.

It just.. works
By Dayreon
I bought several different third-party USB charging cables and power adapters over the past few months, thinking my Transformer TF201 was nearly a paperweight. None of them ever seemed to work, and I tried every combination - each cable with different wall adapters, as well as each cable plugged into different USB ports on different computers (USB 2.0 and 3.0), then all of those while plugged into the keyboard as well. For some reason, my TF201 charged at a snails pace with one of the cables I had, plugged into my desktop PC, but it never showed it was actually charging. I only write this because maybe you've been through the same thing and it rings a bell.

Anyways, after months of turmoil I finally decided to spend the money on this official Asus one in hopes it would work. It does.

Listen, if your charger stops working, just drop the money on this one and save yourself some headache. Learn from my mistakes.

Stop, Don't Buy This Yet! Yours Might Still Be Good
By Nick Truong
This charger and cable is the exact one that came with the Asus TF300.

Your charger may not be bad. I found out from reading other reviewers about placing the charger into the freezer for a whole day (place the charger into a ziplock bag to keep dry). Take it out of the freezer (after a day or two) and leave to dry for a few hours then check again. Not sure the reason, maybe it resetting an overcharge circuitry. It charged up my Asus just as new. Now, I have a spare charger and cable.

The overcharge circuitry might be doing its job, but one star deducted since Asus should be letting their customers know about this. Now it makes me wonder how often does this happens to everyone else...

Truly Plug & Play and Work Great
By IGold
This item is as described. In reading some of the other reviews, I believe the confusion is in the initial paring of the units. All I did was plug them into two different outlets in the same room (clearly they were on the same circuit) and paired them, I did not even bother to plug in any Ethernet cables. I then moved one unit near my router and the other unit to a distant bedroom, hooked up the Ethernet cables and everything worked as described. I did not use the software resource disk that came with them.

I am getting much faster speeds in the bedroom than I was with Wireless N. I changed the cables to Cat 5e and both units are humming along with green lights. I would highly recommend these to anyone with wireless issues.

Also, although they are bigger than your typical power wart, they are designed so that if you plug them into the bottom outlet of the receptacle, they do not interfere at all with top outlet, leaving it free for a power strip or UPS. This was one of the unknown concerns I had prior to purchase.

For clarification the model I am reviewing is the TL-PA511 KIT.

OMG I have internets.
By C. miller
We live in a 100 year old house with plaster walls underneath wood paneling. Pity us. Wireless will not penetrate the walls no matter how many repeaters / antennae / amps / cats with tinfoil you place. My 14 year old daughter was throwing a stereotypical teenage girl conniption fit that her wireless kept dropping out, had a 1mbps downstream, and was generally poo. After some last ditch settings adjustments I ordered these, on the advice from a popular hardware forum.
While they were a little fiddly to initially pair, once I got them installed, it was magic. Digital unicorns flew out of my daughter's Tumblr feed at the speed of 30mbps, and she no longer things I'm a moron.

In other words, works awesome.

Just As Good As The More Expensive Brands With Intercompatibility!!
By Hyoun Kim
I've been a Network Engineer for over 10 years and ever since I've dealt with computers, cabling is one of the worst aspects of the job. I can't tell you how many times I've run/extended CAT3/CAT5/CAT5e/CAT6 cabling and ended up terminating both ends and testing them. Some situations are easier than others when you're allowed to run a cable across the floor or above ceiling tile... but in other situations like getting networking in a certain room in your house can be a total pain in the butt.

For the average home user, the only way to get networking from point A to your house to point B is either wired with cabling or use WiFi & bridging if the WiFi didn't extend far enough. When Powerline technology came out it added convenience of using existing power cabling but still was a little flaky and troublesome. But since then, Powerline has jumped leaps and bounds since and is much more reliable & faster.

When it came time to buy originally back in July 2012, I put a lot of research into looking into the latest powerline solution for my home. I wanted something with high performance and the current version of "high performance Powerline devices" allows 500Mbps transfer rate. Even still, I was having trouble selecting which manufacturer to go with (Belkin, Cisco, Netgear, etc). After my homework (and despite Netgear's horrible sales support), I ended up with the NETGEAR Powerline 500Mbps Nano Adapter - Starter Kit (XAVB5101).

Despite the insane price point (currently $87.99 on Amazon - 12/13/2013; I bought these for $108 back in July 2012), the Netgear adapters worked wonderfully in my home. I was able to maintain faster throughput from device to device while on wired Ethernet while not saturating my WiFi network. However, over the course of a year and a half, the number of devices I had in my house grew considerably (especially over WiFi).

In the past year, I added a few cell phones, a laptop, a tablet, a Roku 3, a Western Digital TV Live, 2 Chromecasts, and a new Smart TV. Because of that, my WiFi started to become degraded because every single one of those new devices was connecting to my network over WiFi. When multiple devices would start streaming things like Netflix and I was doing transfers from my media server to a PC, Netflix would stutter and my WiFi throughput would literally crawl slower than a snail on a salt bed. That's when I realized I needed to invest in more Powerline Adapters for certain rooms to speed up transfers as well as help reduce the load of my WiFi network.

But you see, despite being pleased with my Netgear adapters, I didn't want to spend another $100. A friend of mine (who I told the Netgear adapters about) bought another brand of Powerline AV 500Mbit adapters from a company called TP-Link to save money. He said they worked pretty good. After finding out that they were $35 on Amazon, I immediately pulled the trigger. I mean after all, I had a word of mouth approval from a friend and you can't argue saving over $50 vs another set of my Netgear adapters... the result? Absolutely no difference in speeds.

Just like the Netgear adapters, these are essentially Plug & Play. There were literally no problems connecting these in my house. I went to the living room where I needed wired connectivity and plugged these up to the wall. The TP-Link adapter immediately recognized my existing Netgear Powerline adapters and the 2nd LED (Powerline LED indicator) immediately lit up. I plugged in my small 10/100 switch to it and then my Roku & TV up to it and the 3rd LED (Ethernet indicator) lit up and the devices could not only talk to other devices on my LAN, but they had Internet access as well. I personally noticed NO DIFFERENCE in throughput speeds both within the LAN and the Internet.

The *ONLY* difference between the TP-Link set and the Netgear is the that the TP-Link doesn't tell you the "current speed" of that adapter's Powerline network. The Netgear has multicolored LEDs that indicate the speed of your Powerline network. While this normally won't matter to a lot of people, it will tell you whether you are having degraded performance within your home's electrical wiring. It also aids in troubleshooting as well. But it's not a show stopper...

Personally, I would recommend this product over the Netgear adapters I have.
1. The price is a LOT cheaper.
2. TP-Link has a TWO YEAR WARRANTY vs the Netgear's ONE YEAR WARRANTY. If you're really concerned on whether you're buying "a crap product", rest assured that this works just as good as the bigger name brands and you have an extra year of product care!

Highly recommended.

Buyer Beware!!
By Matthew Spielman
Not all SD cards are advertised! There are many scams out there and this one falls under that category. Purchased the card and immediately tested it using H2testw, a flash memory test utility. A Class 10 card is supposed to be able to read and write at a minimum of 10 MB/second. This card could not do more than 4MB/second which means I could not record HD video to it as intended. This is a common scam, don't get burned!

good and bad
By rko
The good: the adapter works for what I needed. Using it to connect iPad mini to iCue teleprompter.
The bad: the ridiculoously high cost and the very short (2 inch) cable which means you are connecting a large VGA connector to a large tablet through a rediculously tiny and fragile lightning connector. When you are holding the iPad mini in your hand, you worry about breaking the lightning connection because of this. Why didn't the Apple designer think of that?

Works wonderful
By Anomaly
I bought this adapter to use it with (a) my new iPad and (b) iPhone 5, both of which have a lightning connection. The primary purpose was to be able to display a Keynote Presentation from these devices on a large screen. However, in the process I tested other applications also. They included (1) YouTube, (2) Safari, (3) Videos and Photos. They all worked Well. You see them on the screen as it looks on the device. However, as soon you put the application in the full screen mode or landscape orientation, you get a better resolution picture that covers the entire screen. However, there is a difference between the iPad and iPhone projected displays here. The picture from iPhone fits the entire HD screen (16:9 aspect ratio), whereas the one from iPad fits more like a 4:3 aspect ratio picture on a HD screen, presumably driven by the native resolution on their respective screens. Though both the devices have a retina display, the picture from iPhone is crisper and better looking. I am not sure why. Maybe, because iPhone is newer. I do not know how the projected display from iPad mini will look like.
I am writing this review by connecting my iPhone to a 22 inch monitor with this adapter and using a Apple wireless bluetooth keyboard to type. It is hard to tell that I am working from a iPhone. Though I was going to use my iPad for my presentations, I will now use the iPhone becuase it displays better (not to mention looking cool).
The design of this connector is carefully thought through. The short (~3 inch) cord from the phone to the VGA connector is long enough to do things on the phone while holding it in the palm, without having to lift the entire wiring. The lightining connection in the adaptor helps power the phone when presentation is made. I plan to make presentations with my iPhone-5 and iPad using this adaptor, and do not forsee any problem doing it. I would have preferred the lightning to HDMI adaptor, but my video projector does not support HDMI. Overall, an excellent product.

Update: It will not work with Amazon Instant Videos. The app is not compatible with VGA or HDMI or Apple AirPlay.

Simply put, this product does everything I need it to. Very clear picture and easy to utilize. There is a VGA port and another Lightning port. Don't confuse the second port for an HDMi port. I would recommend.

Love it, after fixing sleep issue
By M
StarTech... if you're reading this, try to fix this, please! I even did analysis and found a workaround for you. The least you can do is take my assessment into account and resolve the issue.

Minus 1 star for the fact DisplayLink/StarTech cannot introduce drivers/software to resolve the adapter sleep issue. If I had not figured a solution out on my own, this product would have received only 2-stars.

This device is perfect, after I created a batch script to fix the issue where the two external monitors would stay asleep after the computer has been awaken. Will explain how to create your own after the "Cons" section below.

Some people have mentioned this occurs to them once in a while. For me, the issue occurs most of the time after the computer wakes from sleep mode.

Pros:
1) When functional, delivers perfect digital video/audio (audio on HDMI port only) to two external 1920x1080 monitors over a USB 2.0 connection. The device is connected to a hub, which also connects the keyboard and mouse.
2) Can display dvd quality to the two external monitors simultaneously, without too much cpu usage.
3) I can't speak for gaming, but my primary purpose is to use my laptop as a development machine. For development and other office functions, the adapter is more than adequate.
4) Works with Mac Mini running Lion OS as well. No wake-on-sleep issues, like I encountered on Windows 7 and 8 computers.
5) Self powered. No additional power required.
6) Customer service. They weren't able to figure out the issue, but at least they tried.

Cons:
1) The two external monitors connected to the adapter typically do not function after the laptop (Windows 8) resumes from sleep mode. I would have to unplug and reattach the USB cable to re-enable the adapter. This is not a good solution, as I'm trying to minimize the wear to the USB port and it's a pain to physically unplug/reattach the USB cable.

Fix:
I contacted StarTech regarding my issue. They told me that I should disable "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" for the USB Hubs listed within the Device Manager section. Unfortunately, they ignored the fact I told them the issue occurs, REGARDLESS of whether I connect the adapter directly to the laptop OR via a USB hub. But, as I said before, they tried... btw... I did try their recommendation, even though I knew it would not work. It didn't work...

Then, I performed some analysis of the processes running on my computer and discovered there is a Windows service that controls functionality and communication between the computer and the adapter... the DisplayLinkService.

Through the Windows Services management console, I was able to re-enable the two external monitors by restarting the DisplayLinkService.

Therefore, I created a batch file (FixDisplay.bat) and added the following three lines to the batch file and saved it to my desktop for easy access:

sc stop DisplayLinkService
sleep 2
sc start DisplayLinkService

Let me explain each command, so you're aware of what's going on and to assure you this is not a malware script. First line stops the DisplayLinkService. Second line pauses the batch request to allow the stop batch request to complete. The final command line starts the DisplayLinkService.

Now, whenever the external monitors do not wake up after the computer wakes from sleep mode, I simply double-click the FixDisplay.bat file that I saved to my desktop. Just a note... depending on your UAC setting, you might have to enable the batch file to run under an elevated account (i.e. Administrator), as the commands in the batch file start/stop an installed Windows service.

The best solution would be if the drivers actually worked flawlessly to wake up the adapter properly. But short of DisplayLink and/or StarTech fixing this issue, my ad-hoc solution works. The solution definitely beats unplugging/reattaching the USB cable that is inaccessible.

Works great, even on my Mac
By Kevin Mentch
Got this as a gift after looking all over for something that would work on a Mac, however when I first tried to set it up it did not work at all. Seems as though it is not Mac compatible, but after some tinkering I was able to get it to work on my Macbook Air running OS X 10.8.4. The key is the correct driver, do not install or use the one that comes with the adapter. I figured out who actually makes this thing and went to them and they have the correct driver. It is made by a company called Magic Control Technology Corp, and you can find the drivers needed here: [...] and the direct link to the zip download here: [...]

I hope this helps everyone with getting this working on their Mac as it took me about a 4 or so hours to figure all this out.

Works but the software created problems.
By Jimmi
The device works great and my 2560x1600 monitor looks awesome.

Con: The software created some problems. As soon as I installed it, shockwave started crashing in google chrome. I have to reboot a few times a day due to this problem. It is starting to get very annoying.

Update #1: I spent some time with tech support and they said that the driver will cause conflicts with programs that use hardware acceleration. I turned off hardware acceleration in chrome and everything seems to be fixed. I changed my review from 3 stars to 4 stars. They should warn you about this before installing the software.

Update #2: Down to 2 stars. Disabling hardware acceleration helped a bit but there are still a lot of problems with the firmware. Here are some of the issues:

- If your software program won't let you disable hardware acceleration, you are screwed. For example, Evernote app was unusable.

- Before this software, my Samsung Series 9 fan would never kick on, after installing the software, it is almost always on.

- I have the top of the line Series 9 and still get some jittering in the video.

- I get random screen flashes every 20 minutes or so.

Excellent cable at a great price!!!
By jdiebolt
I needed a cable for my new notebook Display port to be able to plug in my TV via HDMI. There are many other adapters out there for much more money, but this one gets the job done at a great value. It is great that it has a flexible cable in between instead of the one piece... that is just asking to be broken if you ask me on those other models. This one is flexible and connects securely in the port. Sound is also transmitted through this adapter. This is a plus because it is an optional part of the Display port standards, so not all adapters support this feature, but this one does. Great Value... would definately recommend.

Excellent Adapter for Lenovo Thinkpad T420 Laptop - Brilliant sound and Picture Quality
By Shikha
Hi, Got the cable/adapter on the day it was promised to recieve. Thanks for Amazon for their continuous efforts in making things better for their customers and meeting their promises.

Now back to review, This cable i bought for my Lenovo Thinkpad T420 laptop and it worked excellent. Picture quality was way better and sound was exceptionally good. Worked by just plug and play method. No drivers required at all.
I also observed that quality is better than the direct HDMI cable which i used in my another Lenovo Y550 laptop with NVIDA graphics card. Where as Thinkpad was with corei5 processor supported graphics chipset and still the quality and sound was better in Thinkpad. Go for it and grab yours before it get sold out. Reasonable price as compared to other listings, build quality is strong. There's also the button on display port which you need to press to pull out the adapter. I liked this button as this avoids loose connections causing faults.

Highly recommended for Thinkpad Users as it is tried and tested in mt own T420 model.

-Thanks

It works great behind my desktop tower under my desk
By Marcus Wickes
I purchased this product with hesitation based on the many poor reviews of similar products that stated the clip was too tight/too loose/broke off/etc. My video card has an HDMI port and a displayport. I already had a monitor using the HDMI and my monitors don't have a displayport so I needed this little adapter. I haven't had any issues with this product so far. I've had it in the back of my desktop tower under my desk for a month now and it has been performing perfectly.

UPDATE: 11/30/2012

Still working without any issues. I've had to move my computer a few times since purchasing but I haven't had any issues.

12/18/2012

Another move and still no issues. It feels solid so I really can't understand how people had a bad experience. They must have been yanking on the cord or something because it works fine for me.

If this reviews was helpful in your decision to buy or not, please let me know! That's how I know where to improve in my reviews.
