They work fine for me.  Nice and lightweight and easy to pack in a tech bag for my hotel travels.  I prefer to bring my laptop and own entertainment.  Plus if it's work related, I then have a nice LARGE screen using a hotel HDTV.

Worth it as long as the price is right.

Works great, though the tiny size makes it fun with stiff HDMI cables!  Works as advertised, however, I've noticed the occasional error, possibly only with my Apple TV:

"This content requires HDCP for playback. HDCP isn't supported by your HDMI connection."

When this happens and I bypass the switch, it works fine, so, be advised.  You can find more info here:

Bought this to hook up a Raspberry Pi to a computer monitor because the Raspberry Pi has only an HDMI output.  For teh money I eas inpressed with the quality and flexibility of the cable.  I'll stick to Amazon Basics for my future needs - if this is any indication, they're a great value for teh money.

Good, VGA and USB work. HDMI did not, but I assume it was because of long cord without amplifier. Did not chech ethernet. Very small and convenient. A little bit too expensive for such simple thing, but it is really useful an convenient.

Multi-Display adapters are really one of those niche products that it may seem hard to find a good use for.  Traditionally a toy of tech geeks like myself these devices are making a comeback in a world that is dominated by tablets.  By integrating these behind the TV you can make that unused DVI port useful again and get some big screen loving for that tiny tablet screen.

Im using the DHD3000 with my Microsoft Surface Pro 3 and 42 Plasma TV (Yes, I still have a plasma TV.  Dont judge me).  The lack of an HDMI port on the surface port 3 makes it difficult to use with a monitor when I want to sit down and work with a larger view.  I don't want to have to unhook the monitors on my desktop because thats a hassle.  The DHD3000 lives behind the TV and I simply plug the USB cable into my Surface Pro 3, grab a Bluetooth keyboard and sit back on the couch to work.  The Ethernet jack is just pure bonus since my router is on my entertainment center.  Yes, a hardwire connection is still useful.  Depending on how many wireless devices you have in your house the performance increase can be pretty significant.  I saw about a 15Mbps increase while using the hardwire connection through the DHD3000.

I was also able to successfully use this to set up a dual monitor configuration for my Surface Pro 3.  One monitor hooked up with DVI, the other hooked up with HDMI.  In less than 60 seconds I was able to get to work on a complex project that was made 100 times easier by having two large screens to simultaneously view data on.  The portability of tablets is nice but sometimes for work you just need more screen space to get things done quicker.

My next project with the DHD3000 is to set it up as a permanent docking station for my Raspberry Pi 3.  Since Im out of HDMI ports on the back of my TV (thanks Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft, and Comcast) being able to use the DVI port keeps me from having to play musical devices with the extra input.

I did receive this at a discounted price in exchange for an unbiased and honest review.  As an IT professional I pride myself on being objective when it comes to assessing technology products, especially products which Im going to personally endorse.  If something is bad please rest assured Ill give it a bad review; I have a very successful career and will not compromise my integrity just to get something free that I can easily afford.  It is my sincere hope that you find this review helpful and that it makes your decision making a bit easier.  The DHD3000 is a great product that will greatly expand the utility of your tablets.

Works great on my lightweight laptop. Connects to 1080p monitor natively, with no additional software installation. Came with a Micro USB plugger for additional power, I'm guessing, but I haven't needed to use that at all. Great price (was under $4), definitely would recommend. Make sure you need *mini* HDMI, and not *micro* HDMI, they're different.

I purchased this product hoping to put an old computer monitor to work instead of sit on a shelf.  I plugged it all together and it worked fine.  The picture is sharp enough for me, maybe some people want more in our High Def culture today - but I am satisfied.  We can watch DVD's or play games, and the unit has a headphone jack for sound.  The setup was easy.  The unit isn't overly complicated, but I haven't done anything special with features. I gave four stars for features and screen adjust just because I have not used them and don't have knowledge that they would be good or bad.  I gave five stars overall because it does just what they said it would do!

After receiving the "Cablor Gold Plated 1080P HDMI to VGA Video Converter Adapter with Micro USB Power for PC Laptop HDTV Projector" I was very impressed with it's compact side.
Although this HDMI to VGA adapter is clearly pictured in the image, it does not quite do it justice. In total the device is approximetly 3 inches (8cm) in length and as pictured only slightly wider than a standard VGA connection. It may be nice to note for folks attempting to use this on a standard graphics card I did have to use a 90 degree USB to micro USB adapter to fit both this adapter and my standard DVI to VGA adapter on my card.

To get into the actual review this device is one of the first I have never had an issue with. I own 2 other digital to analog converters similar to this one and each have their issues. This Cablor adapter seems to work quite well with absolutely no delay, noise, or distortion.

This adapter simply works and not only does it work but with my Nvidia gForce 970 my monitor was detected immediately and not simply the fact I have a monitor but the actual model information was passed to my computer to correctly limit the resolution. After connecting this to 3 monitors I got back the information I needed including 2 "limited" monitors that ranged from max res of 1280x1024 and 1680x1050 but it worked great on my 1080p monitor as well. I also want to say that I was able to push my monitor's max refresh rate through this just as a normal HDMI cable (74Hz). Unfortunately I do not have a faster monitor but at least I was able to continue overclocking my monitor.

Overall this was a great purchase, I am sure im going to toss this in my macbook's bag to ensure I don't have to have those credulous mini-display to VGA. This HDMI to VGA converter was great but be warned as they clearly state, this IS NOT a VGA to HDMI converter.

I initially received a defective unit and was quickly contacted by Cable Matters to determine a solution. They shipped a replacement unit which works perfectly. It supports all the resolutions my system is capable of and is HDCP compliant allowing me to view Blu-Ray and other protected video on a much larger screen than my laptop display.

I work for an A/V Integration company that resells video accessories to our business clients as a convenience and I will be recommending Cable Matters as a potential supplier. Some of the lower cost adapters we currently offer are priced at over $60.

This adapter is a very cost effective component for transmitting video through a DisplayPort to HDMI displays. The lightweight design may not be suitable for the industrious user; but, for someone who wants to use their HDTV as a display for their laptop or the occasional video presenter looking to share high definition content, the cost cannot be beat.

These Pi 3's are ideal for a HTPC system running Kodi (or variant). So much so that I dedicated my first one to that job and bought a second one for tinkering with other projects. It just blows my mind that these things can run a full-blown Linux system, compared with the big and expensive DEC computer hardware that I learned UNIX so many years ago. It doesn't quite have the GPU horsepower to run OpenGL, but it will actually work. Also, the video resolution under Kodi is not very good, but hey for $35 it's more than decent. I added a 5TB drive for archived movies and an inexpensive LG USB DVD drive and it's a very compact and convenient HTPC accessory for my TV. Absolutely no video jitter, like the B and B+ had.

my criteria:
- good value for price
- HDMI input
- LED back-light
- at least 1920 by 1080 resolution
- 23 or 24 inch diagonal (this diagonal is close to 96 DPI, windows default DPI)
- recent release (latest processors, back-light and LCD technology). release date at least 2012.
- good customer reviews, at least no serious flaws identified.

I received monitor 1/30/13. unpacked, plugged-in HDMI and AC adapter. powered up display, powered up PC. all good. I had another display connected to graphics card. I set up PC (Windows 8) for extended desktop. All worked fine.

speakers do work through HDMI interface (no separate audio cables attached from PC to monitor.) speaker volume was weak but I noticed volume on monitor set to 50%, so that may explain. I don't use monitor speakers as I have my own, better, ones.

I am a novice at monitors but this one works well for me and met all my objectives.

I will update post if things change.

5/14/13 -- no change. monitor is great. no dead pixels, color is great. I use in dual monitor "extended desktop" mode. works perfect.
1/4/14 -- same status as on 5/4/13.

This is an initial review of the Seiki SE24HE03 24-Inch 720p LED TV.  Will try to update once I get my PC hooked up and make sure it works and how it works that way. I'm making the review kind of in-depth to try to help you decide if this is right for you.

Bought for my bedroom to watch DVDs and use as a monitor for streaming movies and shows.  The size is great for my smallish bedroom.  Sound not so great but you can make some adjustments to make the sound better so it's definitely useable.  It's lightweight which being disabled is also a good thing.  Hopefully the light weight doesn't mean it'll die sooner?

Yes, once you put the base on the TV does slightly tilt forward, just a little.  The base "clicks" on and there's only 1 small screw holding it to the TV.  But for me that's a good thing since I'll be watching laying in bed.

Inputs: sparse, but it's a 24" TV.  1 HDMI, 1 component (R/W/Y), VGA with 3.5mm audio jack input for PC, "screw-in" antenna/coax and headphone jack - that one is at the top (really should be at the bottom imho).  All inputs are on the left side of the TV.  Having a swivel base would definitely have been a help or at least put the VGA/audio on the back for ease in getting the VGA hooked up.

I did, as a test, use the VGA cord from my laptop to the TV and that worked, but laptop has displayport, not HDMI so could not test that.  Waiting on getting my smallish desktop into the bedroom and trying to hook up via HDMI from my GPU to the TV.  That'll be an update depending on how that works.  Luckily, my GPU does have VGA as a just in case.

The remote is also very lightweight.  You must hold the remote directly facing the TV or it won't work.  It's really! picky and finicky (don't like that).  The buttons are small and not real easy to read.  Then we get to the menu and there's a few things "greyed out" that either I'm not using or I just don't know why.

Menu:
Under Audio:
SPDIF type - greyed out, but I'm not using that so I guess that's why
Audio Language - greyed out

Under Time:
Daylight Savings - greyed out

Under Setup:
Advanced Option - greyed out

Does have closed captioning and I had to guess which one to use and yes, I need closed captioning, so that's on CC1

What DNC and Transparency are I have no idea.  I left it on DNC.  Transparency is off - because again, I don't know what that is and it's not explained in the manual.

There is a sleep timer, I have that off but you can program it from 15 to 240 minutes if that's important to you.

Picture Aspects:
There's Zoom Standard (like having a smaller picture in a black "frame");
Wide which is the mode that makes everything look "stretched out" and is letter box;
Wide Zoom which is also letter box and again makes everything look "stretched out", just a bit bigger and the picture's a bit grainy (imho);
and finally Zoom alone which gives you full screen but again that "stretching" thing.

When using with my DVD player I use Zoom Standard.  Yes it's a smaller picture but it's very clear and everyone and everything looks "normal".  We'll see what hooking the PC and using that for streaming entails - another update on the Aspect settings.

All in all it's ok, the price isn't bad - around the price of a lower end PC monitor but with more options.  I certainly would not pay more for this TV and actually I think it should be a little less considering  the greyed-out menu functions, lack of documentation on which closed captioning is best for which reg ion, what the heck Transparency is and the picture if you go out of Standard mode.  It's kind of like watching a 20" to 22" TV with a "frame" around the picture.

Nice and quite small package; we are using this for use with backup display due to included WiFi.

Setup was simple and worked fine.

Our unit required a software update during install, which was fine and simple. Afterwards all services worked well except Netflix, which apparently needs an additional update.

The WiFi adapter is G (2.4 GHz) band only. There is also an ethernet port but if you are using that there is a version without WiFi for slightly less cost.

Basic disc playing video is perfect relative to the performance of this older display.

The only audio outputs are via HDMI (in stream) or S/PDIF coaxial.

The lack of analog audio output required that we purchase a separate D/A converter, which we did. Probably most users will have external receivers to decode either the HDMI or S/PDIF coaxial output.

Small, low cost, works perfectly.
Needed simple way to connect older projector to newer laptop. And to connect older laptop to newer display.
This little connector is perfect.
There are other ones that also have wires and connectors and power supply, to support not only video, but audio through hdmi also, and I use one at home for older projector to Hulu box. But bout several of these cheaper, simpler connectors for office use.
Hint: we hot glued a string to one in the conference room, (vga projector) to keep it near the projector cable (along with a Mac display adapter, so anyone can plug their laptop in when needed and not say "darn it, Where's the connector!"

Very easy to use and great for smaller TVs or older TVs that do not have many HDMI ports. The Picture in Picture (PIP) function is a nice addition. You could use this to display a computer screen or additional TV feed inside the main picture.

Well designed in a compact box with aluminum sides. It definitely looks like it will last a long time.

Bottom line:  Nice sharp, bright wide-screen LCD with a wide viewing angle, and a pretty good size for about $250 out of pocket.

Background:
Had a nice 17" aperture grill CRT monitor die on one PC, so I decided to upgrade to a widescreen LCD for my Mac Mini (2010).

Wanted to use DisplayPort so that narrowed down the choices. I've worked around a lot of video/graphics so I'm pretty picky about screen quality/geometry issues. This IPS LED LCD monitor was competitively priced, and the reviews were pretty favorable, so I decided to try it. My last LCD monitor was a Samsung SyncMaster MP170 (17" 1024x768) w/ 2 Video inputs & TV tuner (obsolete), but isn't needed to be the Mac's new display.

Bought an Accell B143B-003J UltraAV Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort 1.2 Cable to go with it at the same time from Amazon. Didn't want to spend time troubleshooting a possible junk bargain basement variety cable found all over the net, and $15 wasn't that much more expensive than the over-priced ones at the local brick & mortar outlets that you have no idea what the quality really is.

The results- Nice sharp display, plenty bright. The Mac w/ Snow Leopard recognized it automatically, and just came up correctly configured. How easy is that? Love the 1920x1080 16:9 wide screen format.

Some minor calibration via the Mac's display setting adjustment tool, and I'm good to go.

Next, Dual-booted the Mini into XP, installed drivers and configured the display. Works just fine.

Plus side:

1. Sharp, bright, and even works fine w/ Dual booting XP once the drivers installed and resolution adjusted for the correct display model on the Mac Mini.
2. Not a heavy gamer but it looks great using RealFlight 5.5 R/C simulator in XP. No noticeable lag that I can see.
3. USB ports (2+2) in case I need some extras.
4. VGA/DVI ports, allows connections to legacy PC's in a pinch.
5. Stand has plenty of adjustability.
6. Can do dual displays on the Mac Mini with the right cables.

Down sides:

1. No HDMI port. OK, I don't have any HDMI devices yet, so not a show stopper. Besides, I can use the Mac's DVD drive to watch a wide-screen formatted "movie for one" if I want to.
2. No included DisplayPort cable.
3. 6-bit DAC's. But you're not spending $300+, or 2-3x the price for high-end displays.

Other considerations:

No speakers. OK, who really needs built-in speakers unless you're really space constrained? It takes a pretty bad set of external speakers to be worse than almost any built-in speakers supplied in a display. And you can always strap on the Dell sound bar if your desk is that tight.

One annoyance is that the Mac Mini (Snow Leopard) will not wake the display when coming out of sleep mode sometimes. Does it on both a direct DP connection to this LCD, and the Mini-DP to VGA adapter/Viewsonic E771 I was using before. Probably just a weird Mac issue. Can't be bothered to figure out what crazy incantation will fix this, so I just disabled sleep on the Mac.

I was impressed enough that I shortly bought a second one to upgrade my workstation that has a GForce 3 video card that had no problems making the 1920x1080 display mode using the DVI port.

Don't expect heavy duty gaming experience or professional photoshopping on this value priced LCD, but the lag is pretty good for not being a gaming specific display.

Sure, you can add ports/features/specifications/options, but that usually adds to the price. I could have found an LCD in the $125 range, or spent $700+, but this LCD has great value for the money. :)
