76% praised for its durability, but 24% experienced issues
My adapter's thickness is slightly bigger than the apple one, causing issues while plugging it into my laptop with a case on.
I only hooked up the adapter to an external monitor after almost a year of purchase. If I had done it earlier, I would have opted for a replacement during the return period.
75% found it easy to set up and use, while 25% needed help with installation
I found it more convenient to drive 2 monitors without the docking station using the USB-to-VGA adapter while working from home.
I checked the VGA cable on other products and it worked perfectly, indicating that the problem lies with the AmazonBasics Mini DisplayPort.
69% liked the fast data transfer speed, but 31% experienced lag
I was able to work with no docking station as the laptop recognized the VGA monitor through the adaptor.
I have experienced that the adapter fails to pass EDID from any monitor to my MacBook or Lenovo PC laptop, resulting in the monitor choosing a lower default resolution.
The adapter failed to auto detect the resolution and the highest it offered was 1280x1024.
I have noticed that the adapter cannot play hdcp video from iTunes, Flixster, and Vudu. To make it work, I need a mini display port to a DVI or HDMI. However, YouTube works fine, probably because it does not have the same rules.
