Adapter worked fine for me for almost 6 month. I used it rarely, though had no issues with it. Till it just fell apart on one of the sides: I've attached an image to customer images section.So... 3 stars: product is good and works fine, though the construction itself is weak. Even with gentle rare usage got easily broken.

Contacted the support team: they have sent me a replacement. Works perfect. Switching from 3 to 4 stars as device itself worked without issues and when it got physically broken, supplier resolved the problem in timely and quality manner. Might get it to 5 starts after couple month if there would be no issues with the replaced adapter.
I have a 2012 MacBook Pro. I use the adapter to connect the computer to my AV receiver and thusly to my TV. I can't see any picture or audio quality loss as compared to the computer's own output. The connectors are firm, too, as to not fall out or disconnect due to the weight of itself and/or the HDMI cable.
Upon first use, the buyer will have to change the output setting in System Preferences' "Sound" pane to match the connected device. In my case, it's identified as "Sony AVAMP" but results will vary. The point is that it will be easy to identify, and this necessary step is not unreasonable.
After adjusting the setting, subsequent disconnects and reconnects will not require you to change the Sound output setting.
This was a great purchase, I'm completely satisfied, and I'm glad I didn't buy the $40 Apple brand adapter.
My only wish is that BlueRigger would make a Lightning-to-HDMI adapter for my iOS devices, too. But that will not affect my rating of this product.I used this to connect a three year old Macbook Pro to an HDMI TV so that I could view my computer's display on a larger monitor. The Mac has a DisplayPort Video Out connection on the left side which the BlueRigger fits into. I connected the other end to an HDMI cable running to the HDMI input on my TV. Once setup, the display looks great and there does not appear to be any deterioration in quality or resolution, even at 1080p. The DsiplayPort connection and the female HDMI connection on the BlueRigger form a secure fit with the HDMI cable and it's not likely to come loose. The cable looks nice and appears to be high quality with a thick casing.
If after connecting the cable you see a Galaxy background, blue/black screen, or other anomaly on your external monitor, try going into DISPLAYS and then ARRANGEMENT and checking the box that says to mirror the display. You will only need to do that once. After it is setup, it should instantly mirror the display on the external source with about 4 seconds of plugging in the BlueRigger.This item works perfectly and supports audio as described. One thing I noticed is that my older Mac (2009) wasn't able to support the audio to the TV, but my wife's slightly newer Mac (2010) did.This cable is good quality. It comes in generic packaging, but it is not cheap or flimsy and holds up well. This company is verified and I will buy from them in the future.
