What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

Listing details are inconsistent or unconfirmed: the title mentions MacBook, Surface Pro and Thunderbolt 2, while the compatibility text excludes Thunderbolt 3 and names different device generations. Customer feedback also reports mixed compatibility, including with 2020 MacBooks. Confirm the computer has Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt 2 and check fit before buying. The stated resolution wording gives both 1920 x 1200 and 1080p without clarifying their relationship.

Who is it for?

A good fit for

Owners of a computer with Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt 2 who need HDMI output to a display, projector or TV.
Presentations, classroom use or home viewing where the stated 1080p-class output is sufficient.

Less suited to

Devices that only have USB-C or Thunderbolt 3, or setups needing reverse HDMI-to-Mini-DisplayPort conversion.
Buyers seeking a stated 4K output or an adapter with an HDMI cable included.

That matters particularly for buyers connecting newer computers: the stated Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt 2 input is specific, and reports include problems with 2020 MacBooks. Aggregate ratings are generally favourable, but do not establish compatibility with an individual device.

Mixed feedback

Compatibility receives mixed feedback, including reports of problems with 2020 MacBooks.
Fit is mixed, with some feedback describing a good fit and other reports saying alignment is imperfect.
