At 4K resolution, the adapter is designed to output at 30Hz due to the bandwidth limits of USB 3.0 and the DisplayLink technology. For higher refresh rates, use 1440p or 1080p, which can achieve 60Hz.
Download the latest DisplayLink driver from the official DisplayLink website, install it on your computer, then connect the adapter. Your monitor should be recognized automatically.
Yes, the adapter works on macOS with the DisplayLink driver. It supports extended and mirrored modes, allowing you to add a secondary display to your Mac.
No, the adapter is designed for 4K at 30Hz. For 60Hz, you would need a different solution such as a DisplayPort 1.4 direct connection or a higher-bandwidth adapter.
My laptop only has HDMI. I needed a second 4K monitor. This adapter worked instantly with my Windows laptop. Downloads and installation were easy. Video is crisp.
For basic productivity it's fine. But if you're used to 60Hz, you'll notice the flicker. It's a limitation of USB 3.0. Overall does what it says.
My monitor only has DisplayPort. This let me use my USB 3.0 port to drive it at 3840x2160. Crystal clear image. No lag with office apps. Great support from Plugable.
I was hesitant because of the 30Hz, but for spreadsheets and coding it's fine. Slight flicker when moving windows, but I got used to it. Solid option if you're stuck without DisplayPort.
Works for a while, then the screen flickers and sometimes goes black. Tried different ports and cables. Not reliable. Returning it.
Now I run three screens total: my laptop screen, a 4K via this adapter, and another monitor via a HDMI adapter. The driver is stable on Windows. Makes working from home so much better.
