gofanco 1x2 DisplayPort 1.2 Display - Review

Gofanco 1x2 DisplayPort 1.2 Display Splitter Adapter – DP to Dual DisplayPort MST Hub Converter has been an excellent addition to my workplace setup. This splitter is an ideal choice for Windows PC users, and it helps in connecting two displays to the system via a single DisplayPort 1.2 output.

Starting with the build quality, the splitter adapter has a sturdy construction and does not feel cheap. The adapter comes with an output DisplayPort port and two input DisplayPort ports. It can be used in different modes, including a splitter, an extended mode, or an expand mode, which allows multiple screens to work together as one display. The adapter also has an eyefinity support feature to support multi-screen gaming and digital signage applications.

It is essential to note that the display adapter requires a DisplayPort 1.2 GPU/graphics card and a GPU/graphics card that supports more than two external displays. Intel HD graphics cards are limited to having three external monitors altogether, which is a significant consideration before purchasing this adapter. The supplier cautions customers to contact their support team for further inquiries regarding compatibility before making a purchase.

The high-resolution support, which allows for up to 4K@30Hz, is a significant feature of the splitter. However, it is crucial to note that a DisplayPort v1.2 output or later is required to achieve full functionality. If a DisplayPort v1.1 or prior is used, the MST function is disabled, and the splitter becomes a mirror. It is important to take note of this when knowing the type of devices to pair with the adaptor.

One downside of the product is that it does not support Mac OS. If connected to a MAC device, the splitter will only mirror the displays. This downside is not necessarily the product's fault but can add a layer of inconvenience, especially if the user uses both Windows and Mac operating systems across different devices.

Regarding ease of installation, this splitter was straightforward to install, and it requires no driver installation. I had the device set up and running within minutes of taking it out of the box. Upon visiting their website, I was relieved to see that the product is FCC, CE, and RoHS compliant and backed with a 1-year limited warranty with experienced tech support.

In conclusion, Gofanco 1x2 DisplayPort 1.2 Display Splitter Adapter – DP to Dual DisplayPort MST Hub Converter is an excellent splitter for Windows PC users who work with multiple screens. It has a sturdy construction, supports eyefinity, high-resolution displays, and is easy to install with no required driver installation. However, customers are highly advised to check for compatibility before purchasing and remember that the device does not support Mac OS. The product has received significant positive feedback from 222 customers, who have rated it 4 out of 5 stars. Overall, this splitter adapter by Gofanco gets my recommendation for anyone who would benefit from its rich features and capabilities.
