StarTech.com Travel A/V Adapter: 2-in-1 DisplayPort to HDMI or VGA

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

At £18.90 ex-VAT, this is the kind of throw-in adapter that’s genuinely useful if you deal with meetings, site visits, or hot-desking. A two-in-one DisplayPort to HDMI/VGA setup saves you from carrying multiple dongles, and for a lot of day-to-day “get it working quickly” scenarios, that’s exactly the value you want. It’s also handy for users who might still have older projectors (VGA) in the wild, while laptops are increasingly DisplayPort-first.

That said, I wouldn’t buy it as your “one adapter to rule them all” for heavy or critical use. With these budget-style A/V converters, you can sometimes run into flakiness around specific resolutions/refresh rates or handshake behaviour—usually only noticeable when you’re trying to get the best possible image quality from finicky conference room kit. If you’re rolling it out to a whole team, or you need reliable, consistent output for presentations every time, it’s worth spending a bit more on something more predictable. But for a small business, IT person, or frequent presenter who just needs a simple, low-cost lifeline, this is a sensible buy.
