Product Description
Extend Your Display the Fast and Simple Way
Expanding your computer's screen real estate shouldn't be limited by the number of video ports, as is often the case with base M1/M2/M3 Macs that support only one external display via USB-C. The Plugable Universal Graphics Adapter provides a practical solution, adding two HDMI ports to your computer through a single USB connection. The Plugable UGA-HDMI-2S offers an affordable alternative to a docking station for creating a dual-monitor setup.
Windows and ChromeOS users, can expand even further by integrating the adapter with an existing docking station, expanding their setup to support up to eight 1920x1080 (HD) displays with multiple adapters (two 1080p displays per adapter, up to 4 on macOS). It also enables users to customize a triple or quad display setup by combining it with a single USB-C dock, enhancing productivity and efficiency. Whether you’re adding additional displays to the dock you already have or just need a straightforward way to expand your screen real estate, the HDMI Dual Monitor Adapter for 2 monitors provides a seamless and efficient solution.
Moreover, the compact and portable design of the adapter allows users to extend their displays from anywhere—whether at home, in the office, or on the go
Note: Actual performance and the number of supported displays can vary based on system specifications and the specific Silicon Motion hardware in use
