Extend Your Monitor - The Fast and Simple Way
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. A one plug solution that adds one HDMI port to your computer, the UGA-HDMI-S leaves your other ports open for peripherals. And because this USB A to HDMI adapter has a single function, it’s a lot more affordable than a docking station.
Extend or Mirror 8 Screens on Windows and 4 Screens on macOS
With the UGA-HDMI-S adding an extra display is just the start. Combining multiple USB to HDMI Adapters makes it possible to add up to 8 monitors on Windows computers and up to 4 monitors on macOS computers.
Quad HD
Add a 2560x1440p @ 60hz Quad HD monitor through a USB 3.0 port, USB-C, or even a Thunderbolt port.
Connection Simplicity
A hybrid 2-in-1 cable means you don't have to choose between a USB Type A and USB Type C to HDMI adapter picking an adapter that matches your computer. The UGA-HDMI-S works with the ports you have now, and the ports you'll have on your next computer - USB 3.0, USB-C, USB4, even Thunderbolt to HDMI. It's compact, too, so it's as portable as your laptop. This USB A to HDMI adapter ensures you always have the right connection for your devices.
For Best Compatibility

Worked!
My husband is a gamer. This helped save space by not using as many adapters. Organized the cables a little better! As long as it works, I find it hard to complain. The product does as intended!

Good
Great adapter! Easy to use. And you can buy another adapter if needed to use a different port entrance. You can also just connect the usb and the HDMI.
