We noticed a few differences between the Grand HD Cinema's Taiwanese version of the site and the U.S. Some of the uses that Grandtec suggest the Grand HD Cinema could be used for are for watching " high quality videos stored in PC," or for setting up a video wall. The adapter also comes with the USB PnP Sound Program, which lets you adjust the audio being sent to the HDMI display with a " 10-band equalizer and 27 environmental effects."

The software also allows you to control the resolution and color depth of an extended display, and even rotate the extended image by 90, 180, or 270 degrees. The Grand HD Cinema comes bundled with the HD Cinema Program, through which you can designate whether your system sends a mirror of your desktop or if it extends the desktop. The device can also send audio through the adapter as well, but it supports only sending audio to a single display, despite how many adapters you might be using.

You can connect up to six Grand HD Cinema adapters to a PC to send video to up to six different HDMI displays simultaneously.
It gets its power from the USB port, so it doesn't need an external power supply. The Grand HD Cinema is a 1.30x2.17x3.94-inch (HWD) adapter with a USB port on one end and an HDMI port on the other.

Grandtec claims that the Grand HD Cinema can use your Windows XP or Vista system's USB 2.0 ports to send 720p HD video to an HDMI-equipped display, such as widescreen HD LCD or plasma TV. Great news all around.Taiwan-based electronics manufacturer, Grandtec, claims that it is now shipping " the world's first USB to HDMI converter"-the Grand HD Cinema. And it fixes the inflexibility of my new TV set. But for my flat-screen purposes, stereo audio is just fine. As a result, you won’t be able to transmit Dolby Digital or DTS data, only analog stereo audio. The only issue with this adapter: It doesn’t send digital audio over the connection, only analog. (And it would also work great from a Mac mini being set up as a home-theater PC.) With the new adapter, I was able to play back both video and audio on my big-screen TV direct from my laptop. The USB port grabs your Mac’s audio-I had to launch System Preferences and choose USB Audio as the output device - and sends it over HDMI along with the video from your Mini DisplayPort connection. The Kanex adapter routes USB audio and DisplayPort video via HDMI.But Kanex has done itself one better with its new $40 Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter with Audio, due in August, which includes not just a Mini DisplayPort plug but also a USB plug. But I was left to listen to the match via the Air’s tinny speaker or an external speaker I connected directly to the Air’s headphone jack.
Using an adapter like Kanex’s $17 Mini Displayport to HDMI Adapter, I could watch live streaming Wimbledon matches on my flat-screen TV, right from my MacBook Air. I recently bought a flat-panel TV for my bedroom, and so far as I can tell, it will only play back HDMI-based audio with an HDMI-based picture. There are a bunch of other Mini DisplayPort-to-HDMI adapters out there, but they don’t let you feed audio across the HDMI connection. Apple’s new MacBooks and Mac minis come with snazzy Mini DisplayPort connectors, but if you want to hook one up to your HDTV via its HDMI port, Apple can’t help-it doesn’t sell an adapter.
