Plugable Dual HDMI Monitor Adapter for M1-M5 & Neo macOS, Windows, ChromeOS - USB-C, Thunderbolt, USB 3.0 Compatible, Supports 2 Displays at 1080p 60Hz, SMI Driver Required

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.)

works well. basically "plug and play. I do worry that the cord section for the B adaptor will break. it is attached at the same place you hold the cord to plug it into the laptop. Since the laptop travels, the cord is frequently plugged and unplugged so if you are not careful the "B" adapter has extra pressure on it while plugging in the "C" adapter.

I got a new job in which I received an Apple Macbook Air (M1), and this is the first time I've ever had an Apple work laptop. I'm used to working off of multiple external monitors during my workday, so I was extremely upset and frantic when I realized that Macs dont have the default capability of having more than 1 external monitor attached at once for extended displays. I had purchased some other dual-HDMI docking stations off of Amazon, but even though you could connect 2 monitors via HDMI the Mac still was not recognizing the 2nd monitor in my display settings. But after doing some research and watching a few youtube videos I came across Plugable as a recommendation and decided to try this one out as a last ditch effort because I wasnt going to pay almost $300 for a DisplayLink product, and I lucked out! This product works perfect and allows me to have 2 extended monitors on top of my main laptop screen, so I get to work off of 3 at once. You do have to download a driver/software onto your computer for this to work, but I've found that this is the only way (at least that I know of) for you to do this on a Mac M1. Would recommend, its worth the purchase!

I bought this Plugable DisplayLink adapter specifically to bypass the single-monitor limitation of the MacBook Air M2. The product comes with its own USB-A to USB-C adapter in the box, which is supposed to make it compatible with modern MacBooks. However, even using the provided adapter, the device was not recognized by my Mac. I spent a lot of time installing the latest DisplayLink Manager drivers, tweaking macOS Privacy & Security settings, and granting Screen Recording permissions, but the app kept saying "Please connect your DisplayLink device." It is very disappointing that a premium-priced product fails to function even with its own out-of-the-box accessories. If the included adapter cannot handle the data requirements of the device on an M2 Air, it shouldn't be included at all.

Church Tech Director here. I love this product for MacOS with the limited screens allowed for M2 screens. The event I was at needed lyrics for audience, confidence monitors, and lower 3rds for livestream—this solved the issue with the limitations on the Mac M2, that is not the PRO or MAX. This adapter is great. I highly recommend for groups and churches that don’t have big budgets for PRO or MAX M chips from Apple, or that don’t have budgets to purchase and build your own Windows Towers or gaming computers. This is the solution that I recommend. Currently only using the 1920x1080 version. In the future, I’ll be trying the 4k version. Compatible for MacOS MacBook Air M2 for 3 additional screens and my main laptop screen. Semi-easy to setup, outside of the app that you have to download. MY ONLY COMPLAINT: on MacOS, the app that you have to download for this to work, you constantly have to re-open it and start it, as well as choose content on settings for screen extending. If that issue can be solved, this would be a seamless experience and would get 5 stars instantly.

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.

So easy to use, got my two monitors plugged in to my laptop now!

Funciona perfectamente con Mac M1, el producto cumple con la extensión de las pantallas con una excelente calidad.

Working as required to be .. extended screens for multiple monitors ..

これを使って、グラボを使うことなく4画面にすることができました。順調に動いています。

Worked perfectly. I can now use an extended monitor and an overhead projector.

I initially experienced a technical issue with one of the ports on the adapter, where the screen would flicker and appear blurry. However, I was deeply impressed by the company’s support team. After I reached out and explained the troubleshooting steps I had taken, they responded very promptly and sent me a replacement unit right away. I have been using the new unit for a few days now, and it works perfectly without any issues. Both monitors are crystal clear. It is rare to find such efficient and professional customer service these days. If you encounter any problems, you can trust that this team will stand behind their product and resolve it quickly. Highly recommended!

Tengo un monitor conectado al puerto HDMI de una HP Laptop 15t-dy200 y queria conectar otro monitor mas y este adaptador fue la solucion, ahora tengo los dos monitores y va bastante bien para mi trabajo del dia a dia.
