[kwlug-disc] HDMI adapters/screen flickering on projector

[Tim Laurence]

 One of my adaptors had issues, the “hub” one, has shown the blinking
issues, yes. The Startech adaptor has never been used a presentation before
so I can’t speak to how it will perform in the room. Perhaps, being a name
brand will be better behaved.

I am packing my “hub” just in case it works better than everything else, I
doubt it will be used or even tested.

Were you one of the people who was having problems keeping the display
on the projector? I thought you might be but I cannot remember.
