Product Description
There’s no shortage of options when it comes to adding screens to your laptop, and that’s where things get complicated (and expensive). The Plugable USB 3.0 and USB-C to HDMI 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 adapter doesn’t add on extra functionality, it’s a lot more affordable than a docking station.
Extend a Screen
With the UGA-HDMI-S, easily connect one HDMI monitor. Of course, adding an extra display is just the start. On Windows machines, combine multiple adapters to add up to 8 monitors. On a Mac, combine multiple adapters to add up to 3 monitors.
See It All
It doesn’t matter if you connect through a USB 3.0 port or a Thunderbolt 4 port, you can count on resolutions up to 1920×1080 @ 60Hz—even when adding multiple adapters.
No Connection Complexity
A hybrid 2-in-1 cable takes the guesswork out of 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 3 and Thunderbolt 4. It’s compact, too, so it’s as portable as your laptop.
The Fine Print
Although ideal for users working with web and productivity apps—like Google Docs, the Windows Office Suite, and internet use in general—these adapters are not recommended for gaming, graphics-intensive, or design work. This adapter doesn’t support playback of HDCP-protected content on sites like Netflix and Hulu. On Mac, screen rotation is not available and clamshell mode is only available on macOS 12 when the laptop is connected to its power adapter.
Silicon Motion (SMI) driver download is required for Windows. SMI Instant View driver download is required for Mac.
