It plays fine at 1920x1080, even with streaming web videos. It helps make downloading of updates faster. Helps with gaming at being a higher speed than wireless.



Cons

It interferes with my bluetooth and wifi devices. There is a occasionally a distortion of the image on the monitor this is connected to and it freezes as well. No sign of any updates forthcoming.

Quality


Easy setup: plug-and-play installation makes it user-friendly, even for those with limited technical expertise.


Multiple display modes: supports extended desktop, mirrored display, and primary display configurations, enhancing productivity.


They were very clunky, terrible, would require users to re-plug them often, and drivers needed to be manually installed.


It lags my computer very badly due to the software that is needed.

Price


0 adapter was cheaper than a new computer.


I‘ve been buying adapters that range from $10-$15 and they were all awful.


To be honest, i was a little annoyed by the price.


Previous one was from china, cost $29, took average 30% cpu overhead and lasted 3 days.

Competitiveness


This adapter was three times more expensive than other adapters in the same category.


It had very high ratings, and so that's why i chose it over the cheaper counterparts with lesser ratings.


It was higher than i hoped it would be, but in line with similar products.
