StarTech USB to HDMI External Dual or Multi Monitor Video Adapter with Audio review:


High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) ports on computers can be incredibly useful , the ability to transform your HD TV into a huge monitor has excellent uses from watching movies to playing games on the big screen. For work, you can also use HDMI to display presentations on projectors and TVs .


If your laptop or PC doesn't come with an HDMI-out port then the StarTech USB to HDMI External Dual or Multi Monitor Video Adapter with Audio is very useful, since it effectively transforms a USB port into an HDMI one.

Another benefit is that even if your PC comes with HDMI, you can use this adaptor to extend your desktop over an extra monitor – a worthwhile feature if your graphics card isn't up to the task.

While some people use a Digital Visual Interface (DVI) to HDMI cable to connect their PC to a high-definition TV – because DVI ports are more popular than HDMIs on computers , the DVI can't handle audio.

The StarTech USB to HDMI External Dual or Multi Monitor Video Adapter with Audio, as the very long-winded name suggests, can handle audio. A small feature perhaps, but it's very valuable if you use your TV's speakers when watching media via HDMI.

Conclusion:
This is a useful product, although if you have a decent graphics card that comes with HDMI and can support multiple monitors then you're not going to need it.
