Question 1

Can I use this device to connect my laptop with the USB and a cable to my HMDI port on my flatscreen LED television?

Accepted Answer

Your computer would need a mini DisplayPort connection in order to connect the adapter. The adapter plugs into the computer's mini DisplayPort, and then you can plug in either a VGA,  HDMI, or DVI cabled connection to your TV. This does not use any USB cables.

The device works great as advertised, and we have had no issues.

Hope this helps!

Question 2

Is this an "active" adapter?

Accepted Answer

I want to say Yes, but I really haven't use this adapter with more than two monitors to be sure. What I can tell you is that you can only connect one monitor at a time on this device, in other words, you can only plug in one DVI or HDMI or VGA monitor on this device; you cannot use more than one monitor through this device. Also, I have use it without a problem with MACs. It's a great device to have.
