I purchased this to enable a laptop to be used as a spare monitor for a refurbished desktop computer while I was awaiting its arrival from shipping. With a VGA input from the desktop and USB output into the laptop with OBS Studio installed, the setup worked perfectly until the monitor finally arrived. Overall excellent!

This product is excellent for the price. I had a similar experience to another reviewer who reported that they could only use it with OSB the first time they used it and then it stopped working. Unlike that reviewer, I found that I could use it with other software such as Microsoft Camera and it worked fine with that. The problem seems to be a firmware issue with the device that changes the device ID or something. After it stops working, OSB can't find it any more and does not recognize it as a capture card. Other software is unaffected by this problem. If you're not live streaming, it won't be a problem for you because you can import your content to OSB as a media file. If you are live streaming, you *might* be able to connect to your camera by importing the other software as a source but I have not tried this because I don't use my camera for live streaming. The picture quality is excellent when just using it to capture from a HDMI camera (in my case, I am using a BMD Studio Camera and it works perfectly, allowing me to to avoid buying an expensive field monitor to do the exact same thing I am doing now). If you are experienced with computers you will have no problem with this capture card. If you are less experienced, you might need to put in a little more effort to get it working, but I don't think it is a serious handicap compared to the benefits. I deducted 1 star due to the issues about OSB compatibility, especially since most users will want to use it for that purpose.

For a capture card priced under $10, I wasn’t expecting perfection, but this device delivers decent 1080p video while maintaining a compact form factor. It’s not flawless, but for the cost, it performs surprisingly well. The main drawback is the input delay. When connected directly to my TV, there is no noticeable lag. However, when routing the signal through this device, there is a slight but perceptible delay. Disabling the Buffer feature in OBS helped reduce it somewhat, but the lag remains noticeable enough to be frustrating for gaming. I tested it on another Windows 11 machine and encountered the same issue. However, direct connections to a TV exhibited no delay, suggesting the device itself introduces some latency. Despite this, it is still a solid budget option. If you require real-time responsiveness, particularly for gaming or streaming, a higher-end capture card would be a better choice. Use Case Recommendation: This device is excellent for capturing HDMI video on a laptop using OBS or other free capture/webcam software. It’s a great alternative to using a dedicated monitor, allowing you to display an HDMI source on your laptop screen. For example, you can resize the video feed to a corner while taking notes or attending a lecture. Final Verdict: ✅ 10/10 for laptop setups – Ideal for secondary video display and casual use. ⚠️ 4/5 for streaming – Works fine for capturing footage, but input lag makes it less ideal as a primary video source for real-time applications. Check out the attached video for a real-time demonstration of how it looks and sounds in OBS with video buffering turned off and hardware decoding enabled.

Revised: Lifetime Warranty, great support. I purchased this one after another one that resembles this one failed to do the job of capturing live streaming onto my laptop. This one worked great with Little effort it also has a lifetime warranty, so I have some peace of mind.

These did not work for me, I don't know if it was an issue with the cameras or this device.

Good hardware Requires some workaround w vlc software but its nerdy workable

Good working

Unfortunately the product didn’t work.

I bought this because a friend recommended it. After weeks of testing I can say that I'm happy with its performance. Just make sure not to have anything knock or nudge it while it is plugged in because it could loosen the connection between device and PC leading to sound loss (until you unplug then plug it back in.) I use it with OBS for streaming on YouTube.
