My setup:Windows 11 (Build 22631.4751)PC: HP All-In-One, 64-bit, 16GB RAMExternal Monitor: Acer 23" with no USB/HDMI inputsThe screen on my PC is severely damaged mandating using an external monitor. The monitor was recently repaired by replacing 2 capacitors in the power supply. Seems to work okay now.Using the cable requires downloading/installing a driver. The provided user manual provides the URL to get the file. You have to complete the install before connecting the cable and powering up the monitor. Follow instructions in the manual.Once the install is completed, the Acer sprang to life with a very brilliant display. Very pleased with what I saw. (see photo). To get the best picture, the cable must be attached to a 3.0 USB port. You can connect to a 2.0 port but (in my case) the display resolution is 800x600.I began to notice occasional screen blanking. Although my PC monitor is damaged I could observe its display did not blank when the Acer did. So blanking is not a computer problem.Then I found a small discussion about blanking in the cable user manual. The suggestion is that a DisplayLink device is interfering with the signal. I searched installed programs and the process list in Task Manager and found no instance of a DisplayLink device. Also, Device Manager indicates the cable driver is the latest.Since my PC monitor is unusable, I'll have to live with the occasional blanking. It doesn't seem to happen often so it's a minor annoyance. Overall, I like the display results. Glad I bought the cable.

(Edit 9/7/2020-I WAS able to get it to work on Windows 7. I rebooted my laptop a few times, plugged in the usb end of the cable, turned on the monitor, and on my laptop screen I right-clicked and chose Screen Resolution. From there, I was able to select Extend Monitor. That was it. It worked. So yes, it works on Windows 7 too, at least on my laptop. Read on.At first, I was not sure the device worked. On a Windows 7 laptop, there was a sharing violation so no, it did not work. I have a dvd player on the old laptop and while I did read reviews and I did see references to downloading the installation file, I could not find anything specific as in a link-anywhere. Then again, I read quickly. So I set my old laptop up as a share and installed the drivers from the dvd across my home network to my Windows 10 machine. It installed. I plugged in the device to my new laptop, and the other end into a VGA Samsung monitor. I set up extended monitors. Everything worked. It will take me some time to figure out what and how across the laptop monitor and the extended monitor. I can do it, use both, but for teaching online I am not yet confident to try to have two monitors. The point is the product works (but most likely not on USB 2 and Windows 7 though some reviewers said it would work on USB 2 but with reduced screen resolution). What else? How hard is it to add a small scrap of paper with a web address where the installation file for Windows can be hosted, downloaded? Some folks do not have dvd drives in their laptops. The tiny disk is no good when there is no dvd drive to load it from. Last, it seems to me to be a very cost-effective solution to add an older VGA monitor to a laptop. It works. It makes the connection; the second monitor is there, on, usable. How users use the setup is possible thanks to the cable. This is a great buy!

Have an older Dell laptop - I could install Windows 11 on it, but after that, I couldn't get the second monitor to come up with the internal HDMI no matter what adapters I tried - RGB, DVI-D, or DisplayPort.After installing the driver (look in your file finder - it shows up in your E: or other external drive) and rebooting, it worked great. My monitor is a bit non-standard resolution at 1900 x 1200, but the display settings saw it and I could set the native resolution just fine.Color looks good and I'm not seeing any lag or hesitation as reported in other reviews.I'm happy!Update: Just tried a video on the external monitor. _Slight_ hiccup on video, but mostly runs smoothly, even at full size. That's a bonus, frankly.

I wanted this cable to hook up a monitor to my laptop. The cable doesn't work and it's not a settings issue either. The cable just doesn't work. And now I'm a little worried that I bought something from China that I plugged into my USB port and it doesn't do what it's suppose to do. It's an easy way for malware to be uploaded. Stay away from this cable.

Screen flickers from time to time (power users can reduce this by reducing the nice value of fl2000_daemon). Cursor response time slower than native screen. Causes "Your screen is being observed" message on lock screen. Videos and streaming services with DRM, such as Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV, iTunes movies will not be displayed, including on screens not connected to this cable.
