Built with a sturdy aluminum housing and integrated Mini DisplayPort 1.2, HDMI, Dual Link DVI-D, and VGA outputs, as well as an integrated USB Type-C cable, the 4-in-1 USB Type-C A/V Multi-Adapter Hub from StarTech allows users to connect their USB Type-C system, such as the Apple MacBook, to an external Mini DisplayPort, HDMI, Dual Link DVI-D, or VGA display. Please bear in mind that in order to pass a DisplayPort video signal through the USB Type-C port, your system must support DP alt mode.
This adapter supports a maximum digital resolution of 3840 x 2160 and a maximum analog resolution of 1920 x 1200. Using the Mini DisplayPort or HDMI outputs, resolutions of 3840 x 2160, 2560 x 1600, 1920 x 1200, 1920 x 1080, and 1280 x 720 are supported, while the Dual Link DVI-D and VGA outputs support resolutions of 1920 x 1200, 1920 x 1080, and 1280 x 720. Additionally, the Mini DisplayPort and HDMI outputs support 7.1-channel surround sound. Please note that only one video output may be used at a time. If multiple outputs are used, only one will function.
The 4-in-1 USB Type-C A/V Multi-Adapter Hub is also compatible with Thunderbolt 3 devices that are capable of outputting a DisplayPort signal. It is VESA certified, utilizes plug-and-play installation, and its small footprint and lightweight design mean it won’t take up much room in your workspace, while also making it easily portable for on-the-go use.

I needed something to replace the bulky cable to go from Thunderbolt to DVI-D for my 30 monitor when I got a new iMac with Thunderbolt3. This does the trick.

I got this product as I am always on the go from office to office either doing presentations or just doing work at the location. This unit lets me plug my laptop into an existing monitor to do my work on a bigger screen or to a TV to do a presentation. Great device to have and easy to fit into a laptop bag because of it’s pocket size. The unit is solid and the silver finish case is strong enough to protect it from the bumping it will encounter while being in a laptop bag. The USB C cable tucks away into the side for easy storage. Nice addition to my laptop bag.

The device did not work with my macbook when connecting the DVI monitor flashes continuously 🙁

Small, sturdy, and one piece (partial “pro” there). Just connected it up out of the box and I had full resolution on my 4k monitor–provided the computer can drive that of course. The multiple output ports are fantastic when travelling. I need only worry about MY computer, and the adapter has the rest covered. I like how the cable wraps around and tucks in. Cons: Just one partial con, the interface cable is both short and non-removable. That’s made it rough a couple times, but not a show-stopper. Other Thoughts: I received this product in exchange for an unbiased review. But frankly, I’d have done a review of this device anyway as it’s always with me now.

Did not test w/ 16.04. Needed to add higher resolution with xrandr command (non-persistent, but it works). example: xrandr –addmode DP-1 1680×1050

This display adapter has enough flexibility to support just about any current display connection requirements. Particularly if you’re watching content from an Apple product to a 4K television, you’ll find the size and the ease of switching between, say, 4K and HDMI connections simple and easy to manage. The unit itself is quite heavy and the USB-C connector is manufactured from rugged cabling that should last well beyond the 2 year warranty period. The housing of the unit is polished aluminum and the USB-C connector folds in and and holds tight. I tested each of the connectors for fit and each one held tightly without having to be screwed in. Signal quality through the tested ports were good. Packaging was easy to break down for recycling purposes.

It was as simple as USB is supposed to be. Plug it in, watch it go.
