WAVLINK USB 3.0 to HDMI Universal Video Adapter, Displaylink Chips Supports up to 6 Monitor displays, Compatible with Windows, MacOS, Ubuntu 20.04,22.04,LTS, ChromeOS-Upgrade Version

Tried this adapter on both Ubuntu 22.04 and Windows 10. On Windows 10 the adapter worked immediately upon plugging it in. On Ubuntu 22.04, I downloaded the DisplayLink Driver, installed it, and rebooted my machine, and after rebooting, both monitors were detected and worked. For both OS, I was able to display via Dual Monitor with extended screens.

If you download the drivers for it & it's still not working, try downloading the wavlink display manager program from their website. I had to 'enable' my monitor in there before it came on.

This USB 3.0 to HDMI adaptor was effortless to install, well-made and worked as advertised.

Most laptops carry their own built-in HDMI ports these days, and gaming laptops are of no exception, as I can hook up to large screens with mine. However, I have a portable monitor which is not very common but is a touch screen which I like. Why would I buy a USB to HDMI, though? It is because there are some applications that I love having third screen to make multitasking a bit easier. It kind of sucks that libraries don't supply spare monitors with HDMI ports dangling from them because homework could use both the laptop screen and the monitor screen.The wireless display connection is rather kind of new and hasn't matured yet, so I recommend this product, especially for laptops and for connecting to two external monitors and/or TV's at the same time. It comes with its own driver so no need of installation.

March 15th: Has randomly stopped working again. Do NOT buy this product.Jan 25th Update: 2nd stopped working at random this morning with no changes whatsoever. I'm returning and not giving this product another chance. Appears "StarTech.com USB 3.0 to HDMI Adapter - DisplayLink Certified" does the same thing and I will be giving them a chance as this product must just be built cheap. Good luck guys! *Changed back to 1-star*Dec 2022 Update: The 2nd adapter sent to me has remained working for about 2 months now. Super happy with it (please stay working) - Changing back to 5 StarsReplacement UPDATE 1: Original unit died within 2 weeks and I thought it was ventura 13.0.1 until got a replacement adapter and confirmed it was this unit that died. It works as intended, but I would be ready to ask for a replacement because it seems to die easy. Going to not touch it again and hopefully it'll stay working.ORIGINAL: I've wanted 3 monitors for something but officially apple only supports 3+ on M1 Max and above. Firstly, ignore everyone saying they used this for a second monitor, there's already really simple ways to achieve that that anyone with google can achieve. but to get 3.... it's super tricky. I was about to give up when I read reviews saying to download mac driver on their website? I was ooooaky, and as soon as it download and I approved security to view mac scree, BAM! third one turned on. Good luck! This is the one for 3 extended! NOT MIRRORED, MIRRORED SUCKS

Works prefect in UBUNTU 25.04!!!Just unplug and plug again the cable after install drivers

I spent weeks trying to figure out how the HECK to set up my work Macbook Air to connect to two external displays so I can increase my workflow. After several youtube videos and online forums, I learned the unfortunate truth that the M1 Macs don't support more than one external display by default. I then went on a search to figure out how, if at all, anyone was able to set up multiple external displays. I kept finding videos by companies who were marketing their own products to allow you to have dual displays, however I found that all of these products either had way more than I needed and/or cost an arm and a leg.Now, I don't make much money and getting this figured out would be on my own dime, so I wasn't about to pay more than maybe $50 on what I needed. My company already provided me with an Anker adapter that can charge my laptop, has two USB 3.0 ports, another USB-C port for data, and an HDMI port. I saw from other reviews and videos that you can connect the second hdmi to your adapter via a USB 3.0 port to HDMI, along with DisplayLink. Again, I'm not trying to spend an arm and a leg, so I was hoping any adapter would work, but I was sorely mistaken.I ordered and return 3 different adapters before finally sucking it up and trying to find a better one that could hopefully work. I was happy to find this item with great reviews seemingly matching what I was looking to do and saying that it worked. This item was the cheapest option I've found thus far and so I decided to pull the plug, thinking ahead that if it didn't work again, I would just give up trying and stick with my laptop screen and one monitor.Shipping did take a little longer than I had hoped but wasn't unbearable. I took a breath before I plugged the adapter in and ALAS, it worked IMMEDIATELY!!!! I already had DisplayLink downloaded on my laptop since I was trying out other adapters before this one, so I didn't need to go through all those steps, but I'm certain you WILL need it in order for this to work.The product itself does contain instructions on how to download DisplayLink if it's your first time, so don't worry about having to figure that out. There are also plenty of videos out there to explain it as well.I've experienced no lag with my mouse or keyboard on the second external display, and it's SO nice to be able to finally have two large screens open rather than having to click through several tabs.HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT IT IS AMAZING!!

Works
