I may just be computer-illiterate (very likely), but I find that once I plug the adapter in my laptop goes nuts. However, with patience and persistence, I can pretty easily get the connection working great. And I love to watch all my online content on the big screen.
My laptop (Dell Latitude D500) recognized and installed this device but in 30 sec. the device stopped respond.The cable looks VERY cheap...........Next day before returning the item I decided to check it one more time ... and it worked!Checked the device with other machines - everything is fine. VERY, VERY strange...
