Rosewill RCAD-11002 USB to HDMI Adapter

Pros: Adds hdmi option to laptop without hdmi port. Extra dispaly / positioning options from taskbar icon without having to dig into your CP or windows display controls.

Cons: Manual does not specify standard or (extra) power usb port. Also not realy a con but the CD drivers are out of date, when are they not these days.

Overall Review: Not exactly plug and play, but this device will keep an older latitude d820 rolling. Hey, they were expensive tanks in `07. Hooked up to a 37" media plays great, powerpoint & other documents show well. Didn't see this device as a way to play games being the laptop isn't designed for them. But it does help. Remember, USB 2.0 has limitations. Something else to cram into your laptop bag but it's not like you can swap out your video card on a laptop.

Pros: Really eliminated a need for a new monitor or computer; I now routinely use my HD TV directly with my Laptop. Price is great, i may order another and keep one in my laptop case when I travel (for presentations.

Cons: hard to read (tiny) user's manual

Pros: I read the reviews on this site and decided to buy one through an auction site. I was not disappointed, this adapter did exactly what I needed it to. Now I can stream HD movies whenever I want on the big screen

Cons: none

Overall Review: great adapter I would recommend this to anyone looking to use there big screen or TV as a monitor.

Pros: The quality is amazing for static images, crisp and clear. It was super easy to install and the $30 price tag was pretty good. Unfortunately, whenever there was moving imagery on the screen, pixelation/artifacts appeared. It's as if the adapter couldn't handle all of that visual information quickly enough. I wasn't happy, the videos were looking better on the computer screen than they did on my LCD TV using the HDMI adapter. Had to return the adapter, sorry.

Cons: Adapter couldn't handle fast moving images/video. The quality degraded the faster things moved onscreen.

Overall Review: Next thing I'm trying out is an actual internal PC video card with an HDMI connection.

Pros: I was apprehensive about buying this because I had problems getting HDMI and extended displays (2) working with a mother board with integrated video and HDMI. But this converter installed and works flawlessly. Easy install of drivers, and the main monitor and wide screen HDMI TV both were detected and proper resolution set. I never did get the computer I first mentioned to work properly, with different resolutions on the two displays, and an extended not duplicated setup. This converter did both, automatically in less than 10 minutes.

Cons: None so far. Maybe price if it hadn't been for $20 off Newegg special.

Pros: USB to HDMI, works

Cons: will use on my wifes laptop, i have hdmi output on my graphics card

Pros: Works for simple projects and everyday functions

Cons: Will not work for videos. DVDs are too much for it. Very disappointing.

Pros: Easy to install, works well

Cons: I'm not sure if it's a Driver or Win7 problem, but for the first few weeks it insisted on using the second monitor as my "primary", and vice versa. Then, a couple of weeks ago, it magically started working as prescribed (i.e., the monitor that actually sits in front of me is now my primary display, and the one on its side is the secondary). Other than that, this little box rocks, especially for the price. Well worth it if you have a spare monitor.
