Works with macOS Ventura on Macbook Pro M1
Bought this to add an old 23" 1920x1200px Cinema HD display as an extra screen for my 13" Macbook Pro M1.I already have an external monitor attached via USB-C, so this was the only way to add an additional monitor.I had to download the drivers from the StarTech website.Install was simple, you then have to allow it access to Screen Recording.Reboot the computer.Connect the adaptor (I had it connected to a USB dongle).At this stage I thought it may not be working, as the help manual doesn't state anything other than going in to the Display settings.I had read other reviews that you would need to start the DisplayLink software, so I did that, which opened in the menu bar, and the extra screen started working.There are limited options in this, but I ticked "start on login" to save having to manually do this each time.I also tested it in Windows 10, in Windows it just recognises it automatically and you don't need to install or configure anything (I assume you will need an administrator account though).In use I have found it to work as expected. I can play YouTube videos on it without any issue, not sure on any protected content as I don't have Netflix etc. I don't expect these will work on this.Latency seems fine for day to day office work, I can drag items across screens as normal.One thing I have found, you can't calibrate the display as you normally would, both in Windows and macOS, any changes you make don't make a difference on the screen, so you will need to calibrate using the display itself.

Works on Linux
I needed it for USB3 A-to-HDMI on Fedora 39 Linux. Installed driver RPMs and the monitor works well. Very pleased so far.

Fantastic - Adds a second external Monitor to my 2015 MacBook
I was trying to find a way to add a second external monitor to my 2015 MacBook Air. I have a thunderbolt dock, but that will only support a second display if one of them is a thunderbolt display.I found this and checked with the manufacturer that it supports Big Sur the latest Mac Operating System launched this month. They confirmed that it does. Installation is so simple, download the latest version of the software from display link, install, plug the device in, enable security permissions, check for start up on logon, and hey presto it works.I could write an awful lot more about this, but its like that well known wood treatment, "it does what it says on the tin!"The product, does what its needs to, is reasonably priced as the cheaper ones are not Mac Compatible, and it adds an additional external monitor to my older macbook, saving me much more expensive monitor.

Works with Mac and USB3- such a relief to get this
Works for Mac and not much choice in market if don’t have usb c so very happy I got this to run a third screen. Sometimes need to plug in and out as doesn’t work 100% of the time from boot up. It is expensive but as I already said this works and not much competition

Worked well. Worked first time. CPU usage is high when in use.
I bought this to run a third screen on my old Mac Mini and later adopted it for use on a Windows Laptop for similar purposes.It managed very well, I used to watch football streamed via the internet in full screen on a 47" TV via HDMI and it wasn't half bad. There was some motion blur, but I dont know if that was the adapter, the stream or the TV.On the windows laptop I noticed that the CPU usage % would run very high when this was in use whch could be a problem if you are streaming whilst doing other things, but for watching movies with no other activity and for having a dashboard on a big TV whilst working it worked absolutely fine.I don't think it would work well for gaming.

Not bad. Not great either.
Not bad. Didn't output the right format to my TV correctly so using with an external monitor instead. Still a bit laggy - not as smooth as my laptops display or my TV via the star tech thunderbolt dock.

Works with M1 MacBook Pro
Only just unboxed this product, so not time tested yet. Was looking for a solution to the new M1 MacBook Pro only supporting single external monitor. This works the charm, hooked up to a USB-C to USB adapter, allows for the Mac to share to both screens whilst having the Mac screen separate (in essence having 3 screens). Worth the money!

Black screen
Finally managed to link to second monitor but refused to play Netflix, Prime Video, BritBox etc on the second monitor. More important it wouldn’t play Netflix etc in the Mac either. Had to turn the link off before the Mac was working properly. Contacted the supplier but no response.
