Wow. Amazing customer service!
I'm using the device on a Dell Windows 10 laptop and TCL 50S435 (4K TV). I installed the drivers and connected the device but the colors were not showing 32 bit even though the display settings indicated 32 bit. Everything was grainy (like Windows 3.1 with 256 colors). I changed the display scaling from 125% to 300% and everything was clear but I can't use the computer at 300%.I clicked on the support link with my order and they prompted me to return the item so I disconnected the call because I wanted to give the vendor time to resolve the issue. The support link included with the item did not work.I emailed support at diamondmm.com requesting that someone respond by 12:00 PM and Louis responded at 9:28 AM.I changed the cable from the HDMI Port on the TV from HDMI Port 4 ARC to HDMI Port 1 and it worked great! I do not know the meaning of ARC on the port but the port on the display was the issue.I think the customer service is what separates one vendor from another because we can get the product from multiple vendors. I recommend Diamond Multimedia because of their great customer support. I hope Louis at Diamond Multimedia will be recognized for his amazing customer service.

Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2022
Style: USB 3.0 4K Dual HDMIVerified Purchase
There are many reviews here for different Diamond Multimedia display adapters, but there weren't any for the one I bought. I bought the dual HDMI adapter (BVU5500HS2). It works with both USB 2.0 and 3.0. It also works with USB A or USB C (using the included adapter). One HDMI port is labeled 2K (for 1080p) and the other is labeled 4K. It does not support two 4K monitors on the same adapter, but you can buy another adapter to use a second 4K monitor. I don't have a 4K monitor, but I do have the adapter connected up to two 1080p monitors and it works great. I have the adapter connected to a USB 2.0 port on a Windows 11 desktop and didn't need to install any drivers for it. It was plug and play. I have a third monitor connected up to the built-in HDMI port. After connecting the monitors, all I had to do is go into Windows display settings and chose my monitor layout for extending the display.

Here are a couple of things I noticed about the display adapter. When waking up my computer it takes the display adapter an extra second or two to wake up than the built-in HDMI port. It functions the same as the built-in HDMI port after its up. No problems displaying videos. I don't play games so I can't comment on game play. Audio plays fine from the adapter, but if you have two monitors connected to it it will play audio on both monitors at the same time. You cannot choose audio to play only on one monitor, but you can always turn the volume down on one monitor itself if you don't want to hear it on both. I have external speakers connected directly to my computer, so audio doesn't play over any of my monitors.

Diamond says you can connect up to six of these adapters to a total of six monitors on a single computer. If you are using 1080p monitors, you would only need three of the adapters for six monitors. Adding this video USB adapter is cheaper and easier than installing an internal video card.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works for Projector w/ Audio
Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2022
Style: USB 3.0 1080P HDMIVerified Purchase
This BVU 3500H device works as advertised. I plugged it in to an HP Envy 23 computer on a USB 3.0 port to connect it via HDMI to my Onkyo stereo receiver (which passes the HDMI video to my projector). I needed this adaptor since the E23's HDMI port is only HDMI in, not HDMI out. DO NOT get other Diamond devices which only adapt to HDMI video if you have a set-up like mine: you need the native HDMI support to pass audio through (others will only pass video).

The box come with a HDMI to DVI adaptor which I didn't use. It includes a short cable to go from a standard computer USB A to one of those odd extra-wide Micro-B USB 3.0 ports on the BVU3500H. The other end of the BVU3500H has a standard female HDMI port.

It also came with an installation disk and a marginally helpful instruction booklet. Since I have Windows 10, it turns out I didn't need to install anything (it was plug and play -- Windows immediately recognized a secondary monitor). The instruction booklet only covered earlier versions of Windows and Mac instructions (it would have saved me a little time if it had said "don't bother reading this if you have Win10").

My little guy and I watched a movie on it last night and it worked great. I can't speak to device longevity at this time, but it has an attractive, small case and looks like a quality build.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works, but not as expected
Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2018
Style: USB 3.0 1080P HDMIVerified Purchase
This works, but not as I had expected. When I ordered this, I was trying to get multiple monitors hooked up to my laptop. This feature DID work, but it didn't allow me to have two SEPARATE monitor views. I had my laptop screen and then one separate screen that was mirrored on both monitors.
After further investigation, it appears that this device is really only a splitter and it doesn't provide the capability to have all those separate views. I only removed one star because it does provide connections and it's my own fault for not conducting more research, but this should've been explained more clearly on the listing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works perfectly on Windows 10, using HDMI ports from both monitors and USB 3 port and HDMI from PC.
Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2016
Style: USB 3.0 1080P HDMIVerified Purchase
Love this little device. I have the USB 3.0 DVI/HDMI (BVU3500H) version. The device is 4" long, almost 2" wide, and almost 1/2" in depth. It comes with a 3 foot long USB 3.0 cable (also usable for USB 2.0 ports). It also comes with the DVI to HDMI adapter. The DVI is female and the HDMI is male. I am using an Alienware Alpha R1 with Windows 10. Install was quick and easy.
1) Start PC and monitor 1, download and install the latest software from the support website or use the provided CD. Software will let you know when to connect the device.
2) Connect the 2nd monitor to the Diamond Multimedia device, and then connect the USB from the device to your PC. Turn on monitor 2.
3) Install should autodetect and complete the install. You can choose to extend the display or duplicate the display, or use Display 1 only or Display 2 only.
Here's my setup: Alienware Alpha R1 computer, HDMI cable from Alienware (AW) to my 1st Dell monitor. And then USB 3.0 cable (included cable) from AW to the Diamond Multimedia device and from the device goes an HDMI cable to my 2nd Dell monitor. Works perfectly, screen extended to both monitors, with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 on each monitor (providing a total area of 3840 pixel width x 1080 pixel height).

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent product
Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2015
Style: USB 2.0 1080PVerified Purchase
This is an excellent product so far. It was easy to install on Windows 7 64-bit. A single USB to DMVI adapter connects only ONE display but you can use up to SIX video adapters at a time. (Of course, it requires six USB ports. A USB hub is probably necessary in most cases ) It comes with two additional connection adapters that presumably lets you connect to HDMI or VGA ports on the display with the appropriate cable. This does not include a DVI cable only a USB to mini USB for connecting the computer to the video adapter itself.

***Installation Notes***
I was using an Eclipse SEE2 UV150 TRIUV150 USB to VGA adapter but during the installation of this product I was notified there was a compatibility issue and I uninstaled the software for the Eclipse adapter.

I was also notified that current Intel USB3 driver needed updated to avoid possible compatibility issues. I did not update my driver and continued. This did not seem to impact installation of the video adapter itself. If I have issues in the future with any USB3 devices, I intend to update the driver at that time.
