Video went out after almost 2 years meh it happens

More like 4.5 Stars, but I rounded up rather than remove a whole star.This product works as an inexpensive docking solution for the Nintendo Switch (May 2019) . I bought this because I wanted to take the Switch with me this year on our beach camper trip so we can play if we stuck inside due to rain or when we're winding down in the evenings. I did not want to have to take apart my home set up (as its through the wall) but I didn't want to pay $80 for another docking station. I also purchased it to be able to move my Switch to a second screen in the home when we wanted to use the living room television, but the kids want play the Switch together. The good news is that it works for both of these set ups. (Note I did buy a Blackweb usb power supply from Walmart for the Nintendo Switch that works fine, I got it for 9.99).There was only one set up that I tested that did not work. This is actually where my original docking station is in my living room. In this set up the HDMI first goes through an older Samsung home theater. I think its probably 9 or 10 years old. The adapter seems to require that the HDMI from the device trigger it to put the Switch into docked mode. Apparently this older device did not trigger it as the Nintendo Switch never left handheld mode. This wasn't the set up that I was going to use it for so I wasn't that disappointed, but it does make me think there are probably other devices out there that it doesn't work with. The same television worked fine when directly connected to the television rather than through the home theater.The bottom line is that I do not think that the device is malfunctioning, but that the design of the product is not accommodating to every HDMI set up. Janovtec actually emailed me and asked if I was having and problems. I told them about this scenario and they offered a full refund. I responded that I did not with to return it and that it works for the applications I purchased it for. They still provided me with a 40% off coupon for another Janovtec product. It just so happened I wanted to purchase a usb 3.0 expansion (so I'd have more slots) and so I used the coupon for that.

This works great for the Switch with one caveat: I needed to use the original Nintendo Switch Power Cord with it. It would not work for me with an after-market power cord (took me a while to figure out what was wrong). Otherwise was a great purchase.

Tried multiple cables and nothing works.Edit: Customer service reached out to me with instructions and it worked until it didn't again. They offered me a replacement or full refund. Great customer service

UPDATE:This company has fantastic customer service - upon reading my review, they reached out and sent me a new unit which is working perfectly!Returned the item, it didn't work. Not sure if it was a dud or what. I need a way to play my Switch without the dock. Might look into alternative options.

I have been using it for more than 6 months now. So far, all of the TV I've connected to works. But one projector didn't manage work. It takes a few seconds before the picture displays on the TV, sometimes the switch have to be on first, etc. It takes abit of fiddling. The usbc end is not clicky. You just push it in, and hope that it stays there. But overall the quality feels great. Tested that the USB works when I paired a pro controller. The reason why I get this over the original dock is portability and price. Make sure that you use the right AC adapter as the dock is very picky with the right V and A. Oh, and it's been working for switch firmware v5.0 till now, V6.+.

The media could not be loaded.  At first i was skeptical to use dongle on my nintendo switch but i really hate how the original dock is taking up space and heat is not much dissipated so i decide to try this and it works as advertised importantly need to use the original nintendo switch charger for this to work. Look at the set up in my video. In case the screen goes off disconnected just on n off the nintendo charger plug. Awesome stuff highly recommended!!

The product works as stated! Threw me off when I first connected the switch to the hub as the screen on the switch turned off. But it did appear on the TV as stated. There were two other things to keep in mind as well. When the switch goes into sleep mode after sitting for an extended time, the screen will not appear on the tv when you "wake it up". Unplugging the HDMI cord and plugging it back in resolved the issue. The same with sound, although I only had one instance of sound cutting out, I just unplugged the HDMI cord and plugged it back in.At this moment, I am extremely happy with the product.
