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.

It does run a little hot but i bought the first one over a year ago and it hasn't failed once so the quality seems up to scratch.

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
