Question 1

Does anyone know if it will work with the mini displayport on my ASUS Laptop - N550JK-DS71T?

Accepted Answer

I have used it on a Lenovo 440S and Dell XPS using the VGA output jacks without trouble using an LG and Acer 6235H monitors, but I did have some unacceptable static using the DVI output into an Acer monitor. It could have been the monitor though as it stopped working for me not soon thereafter.

Question 2

Does this work with Microsoft Surface Pro 3?

Accepted Answer

Hi Ryan,

I'm not sure why Newegg sent this message to me but anyway, I bought this for a Dell laptop which has a mini-display port and I've only used the VGA output so far and it works great.

I *believe* that the Surface Pro 3 has a mini-display port on the side so it should work for it just as well.

The nice thing about this is that it has both, HDMI and VGA.  I don't think you'll ever need the DVI connector; at least if you're only doing presentations which is what I use it for...

Hope this helps,

Question 3

will this product work from my pc to led tv?

Accepted Answer

I mainly use this device to connect my PC to a projector via the HDMI port (which supports sound). I have in the past also used it to connect my PC to an older monitor via the VGA port (no sound obviously). I think as long as the output matches what your LED TV accepts (assuming HDMI) this product should work.

It's also handy traveling for business as not all conference rooms have the appropriate cables.

Question 4

Can you run two connections at the same time off the adapter?  My scenario would be Surface Pro 3, and two additional monitors (DVI & HDMI) all at the same time??

Accepted Answer

It is a passive "DP+" adapter; therefore only one connection type can be supported at once.  Look for "Dual Mode" on the DisplayPort Wikipedia page.

Question 5

my monitor is 144hz only on DVI, does this adapter supports 144hz?

Accepted Answer

I've used this to hook my laptop up to hundreds of monitors traveling to do training for work in hotel conference rooms and in companys training facilities. I have not found a monitor it didn't work on in over a year.

Question 6

With this product hooked into my computer, can I use both the DVI and the HDMI at the same time?  I have two monitors on my desk that I want to connect and use at the same time.

Accepted Answer

No this device is nice because it will hook up to various devices, but it only outputs to one device at a time from what I understand.

Question 7

Does this adapter support Linux Ubuntu version 13.10 and above? Does this adapter support Windows version 8?

Accepted Answer

Works with Windows 8.1 on a Surface Pro 2.  I only tried the HDMI out though.
