StarTech.com USB 3.0 to Dual HDMI Adapter, USB to 2x HDMI Monitor Converter for Windows, TAA (no support for macOS/ChromeOS/Linux)

This USB 3.0 to HDMI adapter let me successfully use my Dell Inspiron 15 3530 (plastic chassis model capped at 1080p) at 2k and 4k. I believe this adapter works given that it uses its own external graphics driver ("Connected to Trigger 6 External Graphics") and therefore not reliant on the PC's limitations.To give some background, it was apparent that this Dell 3530 was limited to 1080p from some hardware limitations and its typical display ports based on the official tech specs below:-USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C port (for computers shipped with a plastic chassis)-HDMI 1.4 (Maximum resolution supported over HDMI is 1920x1080 @60Hz. No 4K/2K output)Before this adapter, 1080p via native HDMI was both grainy and stretched. Not good for productivity or the eyes. Given that HDMI was capped at 1080p and the USB-C port did not include DisplayPort Alt Mode 1.4, my options were to buy a new laptop, settle for an inferior display at 1080p, or find a workaround solution.From some online searches, a potential workaround solution was in the form of a USB 3.0 to HDMI adapter which led me to this product. While using an older USB-A port seemed counterintuitive at first, this was a successful solution. Although it took a minute, installation was plug and play, and my PC detected both 2k ultra-wide and 4k wide displays tested without the need to download or update any drivers.The dual monitor feature also works well, though I had to first connect my 2k monitor to the 4k display slot to maintain its ultra-wide fidelity, then connect my 4k TV to the 1k display slot (displaying at 1k). The 1k was slightly over scanned while using dual displays, though this is hardly an inconvenience overall when my main intent is to use my PC with a single ultra-wide monitor.The resolution displayed is crisp and smooth. The adapter itself is lightweight plastic and appears well-built, though time will tell on its long-term reliability.Hardware used and tested:PC: Dell Inspiron 15 3530 (max 1920x1080 at 60Hz)Display adapter (this product): StarTech USB 3.0 to Dual HDMI Adapter, USB to 2x HDMI Monitor Converter2k display: Samsung Ultra-Wide HD LS34C650TANXGO monitor (3440x1440 at 50hz)4k display: Samsung 55" UN55MU6290 TV (3840x2160 at 30hz)

Perfect solution for my computer. My usb C port won’t work for my second monitor. This one was plug in play and works just like having a second hdmi port.

Startech makes great products that just work. I have tested 3 separate HDMI to USB-A video adapters and this is the only one that works out of the box, reducing my downtime in my home office/lab. I can actually connect three HDMI monitors if I connect one through the computers built in HDMI port. I have also found it easy to move from computer to laptop and even servers if the have a free USB-A port connection The cost is very reasonable. I currently have bought a few for home and office, not having to worry if computer has hardware and drivers for multiple monitors.

When I first plugged the usb to the usb port on my hp x360 13 laptop, it would not detect my monitor. I thought I had received a faulty cable so I was extremely frustrated. However, when I went to check on the reviews to see if anyone else experienced the same issue, I saw that you actually have to manually download the drivers. Luckily, it wasn’t too difficult to download! I followed the instructions on the manual and my monitor connected to laptop haha!

This StarTech USB 3.0 to Dual HDMI adapter works great for adding two monitors to your Windows PC. It supports sharp 4K and 1080p displays and is easy to set up.

This is great. Worked easily and made it possible to turn tv screen into computer monitor. Quality product and great deal.

solves all issues with lack of drivers on HP laptops, some laptops don't have the rights thus cant use drivers for usb C connection of multi monitors, after buying several devices well this one solved my issue , it's usb not C but still i have my two extra monitors and can now multi task according to my need, unit did not auto install had to go to the page and download the drives but still works very well as advertised,

Works as Intended. The first laptop I used this on, the laptop's software was too old and couldn't identify the input device. Make sure you have a newer laptop to ensure this works properly. The second laptop which had updated software immediately identified and connected to this device without clicking anything.
