There’s no shortage of options when it comes to adding screens to your laptop, and that’s where things get complicated (and expensive). The Plugable USB 3.0 and USB C to Dual HDMI Adapter (UGA-HDMI-2S) keeps things simple. A one plug solution that adds two HDMI ports to your computer, the HDMI monitor adapter leaves your other ports open for peripherals. And because this adapter doesn’t add on extra functionality, it’s a lot more affordable than a docking station.
With the UGA-HDMI-2S, easily connect two HDMI monitors. Of course, dual display is just the start. On Windows machines, combine multiple adapters to add up to 8 monitors. On a Mac, combine multiple adapters to add up to 3 monitors.
It doesn’t matter if you connect through a USB 3.0 port or a Thunderbolt 4 port, you can count on resolutions up to 1920x1080 @ 60Hz—even when adding multiple adapters.
Although ideal for users working with web and productivity apps—like Google Docs, the Windows Office Suite, and internet use in general—these USB C to HDMI adapters are not recommended for gaming, graphics-intensive or design work. This USB to dual HDMI adapter doesn't support playback of HDCP-protected content on sites like Netflix and Hulu. On Mac, screen rotation is not available and clamshell mode is only available on macOS 12 when the laptop is connected to its power adapter.
