Description

You have two 4K HDMI screens and one USB-C port. It’d be nice to find an easy way to combine them with a cost effective docking station alternative. Now the Plugable USB-C Dual 4K HDMI MST Display Adapter (USBC-MSTH2) has you covered. Compatible with Windows and Chrome computers with USB-C DP 1.4 support—so most modern laptops—a single USB-C port can be used to extend your display across two 4K screens at 60Hz with this adapter for monitor to usb. Designed around Multi-Stream Transport (MST), the display uses Alt Mode graphics and an MST chip to drive two independent displays natively from the host laptop—no driver installation required. And with HDCP support—something a lot of video adapters don’t have—you can play copy-protected media through streaming services like Netflix and Hulu. With a form factor smaller than a full docking station, you can easily slip this adapter in your bag for use in between your home, office, or other workspace.A couple of things to note about this USB C HDMI adapter. If your computer only supports DP 1.2, you can enjoy all the same benefits, but at a resolution of 1080p 60Hz across both displays. Mac doesn’t support MST—the underlying technology driving the dual HDMI adapter for 2 monitors, so while the dual hdmi adapter is technically compatible with Apple USB-C devices, you can only extend to one 4k monitor, the second external monitor will be mirrored.
