StarTech USB-A Male 3.1 Gen 1 to HDMI Female Reviews

This adapter is a life saver

By Stephen
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2025-03-21

My Acer computer only had one HDMI port and one USB port, but I had two monitors that I needed to connect. I purchased another brand of adapter that didn't work due to a video card issue and driver issue, but this works great. It came with a driver CD that needed to be installed, but B&H got it working for me quickly.

This StarTech Slim USB to HDMI External Video Card multi Monitor Adapter works perfect to connect two monitors to a laptop. The B and H representative recommended it after reviewing my older laptop through photos I emailed to him. So appreciative of the kind assistance and expertise I was provided.

Would I be able to convert the feed from an Camera with an HDMI cable to the USB 3.0 while keeping the resolution?
Asked by: Tyler
I do not know. The product is advertised to convert from USB 3 to HDMI with no indication that it can convert in the other direction (other than, presumably, for basic device communication). You need to ask the manufacturer.
