Cost-effective Mini DisplayPort adapter that delivers what it promises.

I have the Ugreen Mini DisplayPort adapter now for about 4 months in use and can say that it has worked without any problems. I use the adapter mainly in connection with a Surface Pro 3. The HDMI port can both image and sound are easily transferred to, for example, a TV in full HD resolution (of course, can also lower and sometimes higher resolutions are transmitted). The VGA interface also works perfectly. As with all other adapters from other manufacturers, no audio, however, can be transmitted via the VGA connection!

A prerequisite for a functioning audio signal is also a Mini DisplayPort that outputs audio signals. In older MacBooks example. NO audio signals are output, so no audio signal arrives at the television for example. Accordingly, it does not lie on the Ugreen adapter itself that no audio signal is transmitted but where for example the old MacBook. However, newer Apple devices transmit with a Thunderbolt port audio signals that can handle these adapters too!

To look:
The device has a shiny plastic casing which makes a robust impression. Nothing rattles or wobbles. The HDMI and VGA port are firmly seated in the housing. In addition, the device itself is relatively small (approximately 6 cm x 4 cm x 1.5 cm), the cable located on the device is about 25 cm long. Overall, the adapter is therefore very handy and also pretty easy.

Conclusion:
Who is looking for an adapter with which you want to transfer the picture and sound of its PC / laptop to a TV, etc. (eg for watching movies, etc.) and also do not want to spend a lot of money will be well served here. However, if you look for an adapter which needs to be frequently transpotiert and some should bear in surges during transport, is I think with an aluminum case better served because the plastic housing may be damaged by rough handling.
