Surprising since it's Norflandz.
If there is 4 for sale in one shop, and the item is removed from the Target website, doesn't that mean it belongs in the "Insufficient Quantity Deals" section?
You need to spread them out a bit more mate.
A great competitive technical game but back when I had it, could barely get an online game.
Damn i was just there to pick up my game and watch and missed this… called and it's all reserved.
I'm amazed that nintendo games hold their value so much more than any other systems. $20 for this is super cheap and i'd grab it in a second if i could. But a game like god of war was around $12 on amazon a week or so ago. And that's one of the games of the generation for sure. And probalby my fav game in the last 5 years or so. I love my switch but damn it's hard to get a decent collection of games with how much they cost!
Mario tennis for switch all gone alas. But they had marked down splatoon 2 for switch to $20. So grabbed that instead. Wanted that more than Mario tennis anyway. So won out in the end.
do you know how many left when you bought it? thanks

Online shows out of stock
Don't rely on online stock checker since they don't want to ship heavy items. Give them a visit or call store for local stock check.
While I was in store I wanted to find more details of item on Decathlon website and was surprised to see that it was out of stock while there was stock right in front me. Hope it helpsAll out of stock when posted? How is this a deal? Minimum deal requirements is 10. You said there is only 1 in stock?
OP did say not to rely on online stock.
I'm sure if anyone is genuinely interested they can spare a few mins to check the stock at their nearest store. I don't see this as being any different to the Bunnings deals frequently posted here.

call store for local stock check.
You can't.
did online chat who said it was at Auburn store only, it is not on special at other stores apparently

Scratch that, once I added it to the bag it said out of stock online.
Merged from Kensington USB-A to 4K HDMI $16.66 @ Officeworks - 90% off RRP
Moved to Forum: Original Link
Was surprised to see this so cheap at my local Officeworks. RRP is $160 and usually sells between $70-120
https://www.kensington.com/en-au/p/products/connectivity/vid…The Officeworks website had it on clearance for $32 and said it's not in stock in any of the stores in my area. I just checked out my nearest store and was surprised that the price was further discounted to $16.66 only.
Also the description says its USB3.0 only but I connected it to a USB2.0 port in a hub (which is connected to a USB-C though) and it was working with 1440p/1080p output @100Hz.Update: Drivers exist for macOS, Android, Ubuntu https://www.displaylink.com/downloads/android to use it apart from Windows.
Which Officeworks was this? 👀
Dee Why, NSW
Lockdown until Wednesday :(
You went to Officeworks in Dee Why? I hope you were there for a good reason and not just dicking around with the COVID infestation that's rapidly spreading up there.
@mubd1234: Thanks. I was there in morning to get a monitor stand and a ergonomic mouse as my body was just aching with poor ergonomics and felt wfh may continue longer. I had a N95 mask the entire time and sanitized when coming in store. Plus the hard lockdown qaa announced mid-day which I had no idea about and was in place 5pm onwards.
@archieduh: "I was just aching to get a new chair as I was at fever pitch. The atmosphere in the officeworks was infectious. I caught the bus home at 5pm onwards".
@Skinnerr: Ah. I can see the poor choice of words I made. I had been trying to imrove work ergonomics for couple of months so it was not some instant pain I had. Had to return a mouse I bought on ebay at black friday so didn't have external mouse to work with which I need for my work. As I said I had an N95 mask on and sanitised multiple times. Replying one final time again as I agree this is not to be taken lightly and want to calm any nerves.

Why is USB c to hdmi so easy/cheap but USB A not?
data speed….

1000sX data transfer, Thunderbolt-like capabilities incl Alt-Mode etc
Why is USB c to hdmi so easy/cheap but USB A not?
They are totally different. The USB-C carries video signals from the built-in video chip, if the chipset supports that.
But this device is a separate "video card" that connects via USB instead of a PCIe bus. So don't expect to do 3D games on it!
Interesting. Thanks!
@[Deactivated]: I checked, and what I said is not quite true for this gadget. It uses DisplayLink technology.
So stiull, the USB-C dongles are simple, while this is far more complex.
for details:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DisplayLink
It sounds a bit like Steamlink???
@bargaino: So what I understand is it connects to computer via USB so the adapter is using its own graphics.
(If you want to use your nvidia graphics you it would need to connect to the graphics card port VGA / DVI)So it is for video / normal computer work only.
@thebadmachine: I'm not quite following you.
The USB-C port is capable of carrying a DisplayPort data stream.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB-C#Video_output
compare that to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DisplayLink
@bargaino: Sorry I am talking about the product in the deal.
It connects via USB 3.0 (USB-A).So adapters graphics has to be powered by the adapters internal (cheap) graphics.
I know you can connect some monitors / displays with USB-C on newer computers, maybe with this method it uses the computer’s nvidia graphics (expensive graphics card).
@thebadmachine: This unit is acting like an external graphic card which connects to USB 3 port from your PC or Notebook to an external monitor.
You can use it to connect 2nd and 3rd monitors accounting to the website.
https://www.kensington.com/en-au/p/products/connectivity/vid…
@YasimKudomi: Ok thanks for confirming.
So it is for very particular use (maybe your laptop is missing monitor output, or you need to add additional monitor to computer etc).@thebadmachine: Or maybe you want to plugin your camera or old GoPro to your notebook and use it as a webcam :)
You will need to know exactly what model of the camera and cable you need to make it work.
@YasimKudomi: NO that will not work. It is USB to HDMI. This means that USB is on the input side (connected to your PC/Mac) and HDMI is on the output side (connected to the monitor). If you plug a GoPro which has HDMI Output into this, it won't work because it will be connected to the output of the adaptor.
@dealmaker: I wouldn’t bother trying it on a Mac if it uses DisplayLink. Apple managed to massacre the way the technology works with the High Sierra update of OS X. DisplayLink did a damn fine job of fixing it (eventually - it took them months & months) but it’s still not as good as it used to be. At this price I suppose it’s worth trying, but don’t be surprised if you end up dicking around a lot to get it working properly.
@thebadmachine: You can sort of still use the NVIDIA graphics with this card, but after being rendered by the GPU, the displaylink driver has to encode that rendered graphics so it can be transported over USB data speed and then the DisplayLink chip decides it to HDMI.
So no you don’t want to use this for games, but not quite for the reasons given. Basically anything with a lot of movement (video or games) will struggle even if it is simple graphics that a low end graphics card could handle. If you’re expectations are low you might be ok, but you probably have better options anyway.
This is particularly useful for multi-monitor setups doing office work where you don’t have enough outputs from your laptop for the monitors you want.
@thebadmachine: you can still play games with DisplayLink connected devices and it will read your discrete graphics cards just fine.
However, VRR (Freesync/GSync) will not work…
Be careful though, not all USB-C ports support Display Port alt modes.
My wife’s ASUS has such a port, something I learned after we bought it.
You were close enough, display link is essentially a low power discreet external GPU over usb3.0. I use a Toshiba dynadock at work and home to do 2x24in 1080p @75hz hosted by a surface pro 4 and a 2015 MacBook Pro via a ugreen usb3.0 switching hub, and 27in 1440p+24in 1080p @ 75hz hosted by a msi ge602pe.
For office and developer productivity they work great, for 1080p+ video and 2d gaming it gets choppy, and anything above that is impossible.
The USB C docks that have HDMI out etc are essentially grabbing a combined usb3.1 and display port data stream over USBC and just splitting it out. They don't work on machines with type C that don't do thunderbolt or display port over USBC, and they're cheap because they do stuff all - just map the oncoming signals to the correct ports.
It's actually not that easy for USB-C (in the sense it is also just as messy). The main issue isn't so much the port type, but the actual bandwidth it supports.
A lot of cheap USB-C HDMI dongles only supports 4K/30Hz as well. 4K/60Hz ones are more expensive as it needs to implement USB 3.1 gen 2 alt mode properly. This issue further complicates once you add HDR in there. The reality is that very small number of USB-C to HDMI supports 4K/60Hz with HDR. Some supports 4K/60Hz. Cheap one supports 4K/30Hz. USB-C ones are cheaper because there is more demand hence more makers make them.
Further convolutedness is support for 4:4:4 for 4K@60Hz and higher refresh rates.
Can usb2 really handle 4k video?
I only tried HD. I highlighted that I am using a hub from usb-c which has a port marked USB 2.0 and I have now edited the description to also add I am only outputting QUD/FHD out of it. Also I wonder that the hub may have labelled port as 2.0 but might be 3.0 :/
Maximum 4K 30Hz might not suit everyone
never knew cable were restricted in HZ
Didn't neg you. It is the bandwidth. This is only for USB 3.0. The bandwidth is limited. 4K 60Hz requires more data bandwidth.
@netsurfer: This is encoded by the computer to go over USB, so the data required depends on how much the screen is changing. 4K 60Hz could be fine (if the HDMI output supported it) as long as you are just doing office work. Full screen video or games just aren’t going to work though.
@netsurfer: Whole point of DisplayLink was to reduce bandwidth using compression, unlike over direct or via Alt Mode connection. Originally, DisplayLink was lossy compression because USB 2.0 was too slow, later they added lossless, like DisplayPort’s DSC. The problem with DisplayLink is additional CPU utilisation to do compression and encoding by virtual video adaptor driver on the computer (whilst decompression and decoding is done by hardware in physical adaptor). It’s deprecated technology, unless one needs lots of displays at expense of CPU.
If using FHD, I am able to get 100Hz !!
Does Officeworks price match their own stores?
as I'm not sure if it's just that specific store or if it will be in Melbourne aswellIs this a hub/adapter?
Yes technically but only had 1 hdmi port (if you're asking if it has extra usb ports etc)
You can check store stock here and TAS.
It's not completely accurate and most of the time stores listing only 1 instock often have none.
Great tool on that site! It's new to me. Do you know much about it?
E.g. Other company stock checks, refresh frequency, where it is hosted (shows Vietnamese language packs).
Wondering if it's a good local rtx stock checker option
Original thread. Someone put the script on their website but I can't recall who.
Previously we did similar with Bunnings but they locked down their API. Target can be exploited too but a knob is keeping that secret to himself.
@Clear: Great tip and thanks to all who contributed on this. I'm at early days of learning this kind of data scrape so will share if I can add some value with other stores
Just bought 1 online with click and collect. Mosman Officeworks.
Maximum resolution
4K 30Hz😰😰😰
These are pretty much exclusively used with meeting room projectors for maximum compatibility. Not a great device for regular video outputs due to lags.
Where do you come up with that? Sounds like complete nonsense.
@Mitch889: From my previous experience with similar devices. It is not USB-C so it has to do its own conversion which means you cant expect too much from it.
@truetypezk: Love to see the data on them “ pretty much exclusively used with meeting room projectors”, sounds totally made up.
I’ve used these before, and for general tasks they work perfectly well.
I am able to get 100Hz with 1920x1080 and 1760x1440 if that helps.
Do NOT make the mistake of running 4k (or 1440p?) at 30Hz. It's like using a mouse in 'stop-start' animation
I am able to get 100Hz with 1920x1080 and 1760x1440 if that helps.
Pretty sure they had a stack of these for $9 a piece at Fairy Meadow yesterday.
Lots of options an AliExpress, some are much cheaper. For 60hz, worth trying this:
USB C adapters are much cheaper like in your post. But like others have said, this post is for USB 3.0 to HDMI, and is more a hub than an adapter and usually much more expensive. I paid $150 for this kind of hub as my laptop does not have USB C and I wanted to connect several monitors to it
@mrau: Why do you keep linking to cheap USB C adapters? They are not the same as what is in this post
@Riker88: Mate, they're all cheaply made. The one you've shown can't be bought by many, right? Not sure why would you think the one you posted is any better than "cheap" ones that offer twice the refresh rate.
@mrau: You still havent realised that USB 3.0 to HDMI is completely different to USB C to HDMI. If your laptop has USB C, yes, you can use the kind of cables you have linked to. But if you only have USB 3.0 ports, you need the kind of hub listed in this post (which usually cost a lot more)
@mrau: USB-A to HDMI is quite a different device to USB-C to HDMI
The post is about essentially an external graphics card.
C to hdmi is not the same thing. Some devices can output video through the type C port. They need the adapter that you linked to.
just to rephrase - this adapter is like a usb video card. those cables are just simple cables that work if 1) its obvious usbc and 2) your chipset can actually transmit the signal from your existing inbuilt video card to this one
You can't compare a cable to this device which is virtually an external vga card.
@iNeed2Pee: ebay deals manage to sell many hundreds in seconds ;-)
I haven't seen many Amazon deals (certainly not 8 of 10) that sell out in minutes.
