There’s no shortage of options when it comes to adding screens to your laptop, and that’s where things can get complicated (and expensive). The Plugable USB 3.0 and USB-C to HDMI monitor adapter (UGA-HDMI-S) keeps things simple.

Additionally, you can build your own dual display setup by combining the USB video adapter with a single USB-C dock. 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 2560x1440 (HD) displays when using multiple adapters (one 1440p display per adapter, up to 4 on macOS). Whether you’re adding additional displays to the dock you already have or just need a straightforward way to expand your screen real estate, this one plug solution adds one HDMI port to your computer while leaving your other ports open for peripherals.

Moreover, the compact and portable design of the USB to HDMI 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
