My Intel Core Ultra 5 226V supports a total of 3 monitors which includes the display monitor on the laptop itself. Because I have 3 external monitors I'd always have one blank monitor. This is through a Thunderbolt docking station. My other laptops didn't have that problem so I can use the laptop display as well as all 3 monitors at the same time. I finally started looking at another monitor as it bugged me I could only do a total of 3 monitors but then thought - what if I used one of those old school Plugable adapters in my 4th monitor on my laptop and have it output using the older technology? This Plugable adapter plugs into my thunderbolt docking station and connects to my 4th monitor and it works perfect for my Core Ultra 226V so now I can use 3 external monitors plus the laptop monitor at the same time. It's never had any weird display issues and is stable every time I plug the laptop in. When I plug in my other 2 laptops I did disable the Plugable device in the deviice manager and so the other 2 display to the last monitor using their built in graphics cards through the Thunderbolt dock like they used to. So this solved my problem of getting a 4th monitor to display on my setup. If you are just looking for a single monitor or maybe your second monitor this should work with no issues as well. Review: Cost effective solution. Works just like it should. Would buy again. - Great solution for a good price. Saved buy a new video card or, worse yet, PC. Now running two 1440 monitors on my old PC. Several year old PC with only one HDMI port. Bought a second monitor and didn't realize that the higher resolution second monitor couldn't be connected to the old style VGA connector (should have realized). I had a USB to HDMI adapter from another company but it would not work with this monitor - probably because of the 1440 resolution. Note my PC has USB 3.0/SS (blue interior) USB A ports. Not sure if you would get the same results with older rev levels of USB. Very happy with the purchase - saved me trying to find a compatible video card (all the manufacturer recommended ones seem to be out of production due to the age of the PC). Video quality appears to be just like that of the other monitor that is directly connected to the HDMI port on the PC. Run my PC monitor about 12-16 hours a day and no issues. Adapter is slightly warm to the touch but that seems normal. It would be nice if they provided hook and loop tape (aka velcro) to secure the adapter. With the length of the USB cable I couldn't put the module on the surface next to the PC or on top of the PC because it wouldn't reach so I had to leave it hanging from the USB port - probably not the most durable solution. I got some hook and loop tape and used that to secure it to the side of the PC. ## Features - USB-C or USB 3.0 to HDMI Adapter: Featuring a hybrid 2-in-1 cable, this USB to HDMI adapter connects to USB 3.0 or USB-C ports, including USB4, Thunderbolt 4, and Thunderbolt 3 on your laptop, desktop, or docking station.

It finally did, but somebody, somewhere (I can guess where and so can you) dropped the ball here. ## Frequently Bought Together - Plugable USB C to HDMI Adapter, Universal Video Graphics Adapter for USB 3.0 and USB-C Macs and Windows, Extend an HDMI Monitor up to 1440p@60hz - Plugable 7-Port USB 3.0 Hub with 36W Power Adapter - Driverless - Effortlessly Connect Devices and Transfer Data at High Speeds --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.uy/products/405316096-plugable-usb-c-to-hdmi-adapter](https://www.desertcart.uy/products/405316096-plugable-usb-c-to-hdmi-adapter) --- *Product available on Desertcart Uruguay* *Store origin: UY* *Last updated: 2026-10-16*
