    Before this i tried 3 other more expensive adapters that were not true display extenders but would only mirror my secondary display


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I bought this because i wanted to create a multiple screen home office setup off of a macbook air


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I only have one display port on my macbook and i cannot run two monitors off of it even with a splitter other than mirrored displays


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    You have to download a program then mess with some settings to get it to work properly


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
