desertcart.com: Plugable Dual Monitor Adapter for M1/M2/M3/M4 macOS Systems, Windows, ChromeOS. Broad Compatibility - Thunderbolt, USB-C, USB 3.0 to HDMI Adapter for Dual Monitors 1920x1080 @60Hz, SMI Driver Required : Electronics

Review: Seamless, works perfectly - Adding some more monitors to my system for options trading. Went from 4 monitors to 6 on Win10. I am running an AMD5950X, 128GB, Win10 Pro, and 3070. I had 4 monitors on the 3070 and added this device and easily added 2 more monitors. Simply install the correct plugable software and then plug in the additional monitors. No problem running my additional 1920 x 1080 monitors, Win10 sees all 6 monitors. I might add two more monitors. wow, that was too easy. UPDATE ++ Now running 8 monitors without issue, great product, hope it lasts a few years.
Review: Works in Ubuntu 20.04 with Wayland - So I found a driver from SiliconMotion that says it supports Ubuntu 20.04 (and mentions Xorg specifically at the end of the install cycle reboot screen), but I still only see 3 screens in the Cinnamon desktop from the Intel integrated graphics card after reboot. HOWEVER: when I log into a Wayland session, the USB display does show 5 unique displays. I have one monitor capable of 2560x1440, But it's plugged into the integrated adapter which doesn't support above FHD. So all 5 are at FHD. But I fully expect this device to work at higher resolution on that monitor whenever I get around to untangling the mess behind the desk. Note that I previously had a PCI graphics card that had the same problem... generic driver installed successfully, then the additional screens won't show in X, but they do show up in Wayland, so it's probably working in X, just my specific variant of ubuntu (not official release) or all the messing around with X config i've done over the last 5 years is the root cause that it isn't supporting more than 3 screens, or more hardware attached after initial install... But this does confirm that at least with a wayland session, this product does work with linux! Now Wayland on ubuntu 20.04 is still not quite production worthy... but I've read that later ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04, Wayland runs better. I still have a couple things that work for me in 20.04 that I haven't confirmed will continue to work after an OS upgrade (without switching from 1 time licenses to monthly maintenance... but this is way off topic.) Total time to see pixels on screen <1 hour. The driver I'm using can be obtained from siliconmotion (dot) com/downloads (as of 19 May 2025.)

## Features

- USB-C or USB 3.0 to HDMI: Featuring a hybrid 2-in-1 cable, easily connect to USB 3.0 or USB-C, including USB4, Thunderbolt 4, Thunderbolt 3 ports on your laptop, desktop, or existing docking station; with the included hybrid cable. Because the connection adapts to the port, you'll never be left looking for an adapter.

Compatible with Windows 10/11, macOS 10.14 or later (M1/M2/M3/M4), and ChromeOS 100+. Not compatible with DisplayLink software (corporate IT environments may restrict driver installation).
- Dual Monitor Adapter: USB to HDMI adapter for dual monitors, each capable of mirrored or extended display with resolutions up to 1920x1080 @ 60Hz-all through a single connection back to the host.
- Expand Your Setup Even Further: Combine this adapter with a USB-C dock to create triple or quad display layouts. WIndows and ChromeOS users can connect multiple adapters for up to eight 1080p screens, and macOS users can connect up to four screens.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bypass (HDCP) Issues.
*by K***N on October 31, 2025*

works perfectly. Only feedback that I have is the issue with watching netflix, disney + or hulu. The video go black due to High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection. But quick fix is to goto chrome or brave browser settings and disable "Use graphics acceleration when available" When you do this the videos should start working.
