Works Great!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Cheaper than the apple equivalent I was apprehensive about purchasing but after reading the reviews I decided to take a chance. I am a DJ and it is critical that my 2017 touchbar MacBook Pro work with no room for error! I am happy to report It works perfectly and I am super happy with my purchase.

Works great with iPad Pro 12.9”
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this to use with a 2021 12.9" iPad Pro I just bought. Since there's no headphone jack I've been trying to figure out how to plug my guitar into my iPad. I also wanted to be able to use a non-Bluetooth keyboard and mouse with my iPad. Very few reviews had people specifically talking about using this product with an iPad. The packaging itself only says it works with Windows and MacOS. It doesn't say that it doesn't work with iOS but it doesn't say it does either. Let me say I've had great results with this. The normal price is $40. I got it as the Deal of the Day for $20 minus $10 in rewards = $10. I got a great deal on it and am very happy.

A tangible lesson in compromise.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.TL; DR: If you are trying to decide on whether to buy this dongle or the pricy Apple-branded version, I have both. The quality difference is noticeable both in function and build. This product, while functional, exemplifies that axiom: "You get what you pay for" -- I bought this as a "need it now" purchase, and when the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Apple stores were closed, online was going to take 1-2 days, AP didn't have any in stock--you get the idea. Kudos to BBY for having this one in stock, it really came through in a pinch. A+ I already have the the Apple-branded equivalents (i.e., Multiport HDMI and VGA Multiports) for other setups in our home so I at least have a baseline to compare this Insignia model to having used it for about two months. Having it in your hand, you can feel the difference in build quality immediately. The Apple version feels solid, firm, and well-made; this one feels cheap. The Insignia casing feels very hollow and does not feel like it will survive too long, especially if it's being shuttled between rooms, projectors, TVs, etc. I would only recommend this dongle if it was used only in a stationary location (e.g., Living Room TV) and not being routinely unplug/replugged. Candidly, the Apple-branded version of this dongle is nearly twice the price yet the build quality may be worth it. The labelling is peculiar. All the ports are upside down (cf. product image) yet on the bottom, all the ports are labelled. Whoever designed this adapter should have had the ports turned rightside-up so this smells like a last-minute "oops" when they sent it to manufacturing. [The Apple variant does not share this peculiarity.] Functionality, the Insignia model is OK/FAIR; it displays well on the 1080p HP screen I bought with it and there are no issues with video quality, color, etc. USB 3.0 functionality is fine until you decide to unplug something, the dongle will often drop the HDMI connection entirely; most times it recovers, sometimes it does not. [Meanwhile, the Apple-branded version does not share this issue at all.] If you plug in something that uses power/data (e.g., iPhone), it is a tad noisy (e.g., capacitors) so you'll hear the screeching of capacitors while it's humming along with data and power. If you are recording in a sound-sensitive environment, the noise may be a concern. [The Apple-branded versions are always dead-silent.] Data goes through fine and power is applied without any problems. I haven't run a speed test or anything but functionality, thus far, appears to be OK. The HDMI physical connection is far less forgiving than the Apple-branded equivalent. On the Apple dongle, the cable slides right in, and is otherwise uneventful; however, on this Insignia model, it has to be slid in perfectly straight otherwise the cable will not go in all the way. [I can't decide if this was a design compromise for the price or an outright flaw; the upside-down ports lead me to think it's the latter.] Power "pass-through" is only ~60W but if you unplug or lose power, the dongle will drop all of your connections (e.g., HDD, Video, etc.). [As you guessed, the Apple-branded model does not have this issue.] For what I need it for, a simple HDMI adapter with an occasional USB device attached, it's works OK so long as it's not being asked to do very much. By comparison to the Apple-branded equivalent, the design and functional compromises may or may not be a concern for some. In hindsight, had the Apple-branded dongle been in stock, I would have skipped this one and bought that one instead. I would not use this dongle outside the house or with any external data storage devices that were mission critical (e.g., Time Machine, large data transfers, etc.) given how temperamental it is to power delivery.

Good product - needed for new laptop
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a nice way to allow me to connect my new laptop to other devices and to charge my phone and to attach a flash drive as needed.

Q: Questionwill this work to make my android phone play my netflix from the phone to my tv?
Asked by mimi.
- A:Answer This adapter will only work with certain phones. The USB-C to HDMI specification that is required is called Alt DP mode. Most Android phones do not have this specification adopted for their USB-C Ports. Flagship models more often have this spec. Samsung phones/tables like the Galaxy S8, S9, S10 and S20 phones (and their variants like the Note 10) do have this specification. Google Pixel phones do not have this specification however, and this adapter will not work with them.
