Excellent product - especially during the presentations or meetings. Small and very handy - Tv or external monitor, the display resolution is very good. The additional feature "Presentation mode feature " is a big plus. It really helped me in avoiding the screen locks /my computer power settings during the presentations. Overall very satisfied and a highly recommendable adapter.
What a great idea. I have sat through so many presentations over the years where the presenter begins talking about a slide and stays on the topic so long that the laptop goes into screen saver mode or even sleep mode. This small device fixes that and provides a great resolution while doing that. No drivers necessary just plug and play.
I have been in the AV/IT Integration space for over 30 years.
I found this unit easy to setup and use on my Microsoft and Apple devices. This unit has the ability to connect the USB-C port on your computer to a VGA flat panel display or projector. This unit also features a Presentation Mode switch, that when turned on, the adapter prevents your computer from launching its screen saver, going to sleep or entering power save mode. This unit ensures that your screen will always stay on, making it the perfect USB-C video adapter for any presentation or meeting. This unit is ideal for road warriors or anyone doing presentations. The unit installs quickly with no additional drivers or software required, and is compatible with a variety of operating systems, which I tested.
What is Included: 1 - USB-C to VGA Video Adapter 1 - Quick Start Guide

I bought this adapter about 4 days ago, and after a lot of searching for some software to run this with, my windows 10 laptop keeps telling me that the device requires a driver to be used. And then I come here to look for any, but there are no drivers at all... No fun indeed.

Sorry to hear this, we would like to offer some assistance. This issue may occur if your USB-C port does not support video.
