USB 3.0 to HDMI video adapter

This USB 3.0 to HDMI adapter lets Windows laptops and desktops add a second display through a standard USB port. It supports resolutions up to 1920x1080 at 60hz and also works with USB 2.0 ports. Driver installation is mandatory before the adapter will function.

Driver requirement and audio support

The adapter only operates after the supplied drivers are installed on a Windows system; it is not compatible with Mac OS. Once configured it carries audio signals over the HDMI cable so sound can play through the connected monitor or TV speakers.

One-way conversion and resolution limits

The device converts USB to HDMI only and cannot accept an HDMI input signal. Resolutions such as 2560x1440, 3440x1440, 3840x2160 and 5120x1440 are not supported, so buyers needing higher pixel counts or Mac compatibility should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Does the driver installation need to be repeated after a Windows update or when moving the adapter to another USB port?

The adapter requires driver installation to function on Windows. Once installed, the driver remains active across reboots; re-installation is only needed if the driver is removed or a major OS upgrade replaces it.

What is the maximum resolution and refresh rate the USB 3.0 to HDMI adapter can sustain continuously?

The adapter supports up to 1920x1080 at 60 Hz over USB 3.0; higher resolutions such as 2560x1440 or 3840x2160 are not supported, so 1080p60 is the sustained limit.

How warm does the adapter get and does it draw extra power when driving a second monitor all day?

The unit is bus-powered from the USB port (2.0 or 3.0) and has no fan; it runs warm to the touch under continuous 1080p60 output but stays within normal USB power limits.
