Product description
Extend your workspace with Plugable's USB 3.0 2K HDMI Video Graphics Adapter
Featuring the DisplayLink DL-3500 graphics chipset, the Plugable UGA-2KHDMI USB Display Adapter allows you to add an additional HDMI monitor to virtually any Windows laptop, desktop, macOS system 10.14+ or ChromeOS 100.x and later.
Additionally, you can also build your own dual display setup by combining the USB video adapter with a single USB-C dock. Windows users can expand even further by integrating the adapter with an existing docking station, expanding their setup to support up to six 2560x1440 @ 50Hz displays when using multiple adapters (one 1080p 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 adapter provides a seamless and efficient solution.
Note: Actual performance and the number of supported displays can vary based on system specifications and the specific DisplayLink hardware in use. Chromebooks using lower-spec CPUs and GPUs may support fewer displays.
