Recommendations

For optimal results, use the adapter with displays that are HDCP OFF capable (for example Apple Cinema Displays). Ensure the USB Type-A power connection is attached when using high resolutions or Dual Link DVI modes. If the display does not show an image, verify source display output settings and try a different USB power source.
