Pros & Cons

Cons

Because of its unreliable nature, i now plug one of the three monitors into the dell hdmi jack to be sure i always at least one monitor that's predictable.

Using this splitter totally disabled all my wireless/wired connectivity upon usage. I guess it must have died internally since it is a usb powered unit.

The startech struggles to detect the 3rd monitor. Can't even get 1 monitor to display through the hub. I disconnect and re-insert the display port splitter but that does not work.

So along with the three display port to x adapters, the entire setup cost around $50.

Packaging/appearance


Then, i realized i was running all 4 screens off of the chincy intel on-board graphics card in my laptop.

Competitiveness


I bought two of these and two startech mini display port extension cables - perfect combination for both my home and office setups.

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The only reason i give this 4 stars instead of 5 is that you have to hook it up to a wall outlet for power and the adapter is somewhat bulky


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    An option to power it through some usb configuration would have been nice since it only requires 5 volts
