No need to install any drivers, they are installed automatically in Windows 11 and my third screen now works with the correct resolutions already configured. Once connected to the computer, you have to wait 1 or 2 minutes before everything is correctly configured though.

We needed to extend our monitor to allow for three screens. This worked perfectly thanks to the online support that guided us in the right direction.

I purchased this device to utilize a second monitor using a 3.0 USB port from my laptop; this device bridged my laptop to the monitor. It worked great for two consecutive days, but died on day three. Device got extremely hot and then it stop working.

Bought this year and a half ago and it worked great for 18 months and now it works sporadically. Sometimes the computer recognizes it and other times it doesn’t. I’ve downloaded the latest driver and it still works sporadically.

Bought this for a 12 yedar old (yet well equipped) laptop to allow for a 3rd monitor without dogging down performance. It worked better than expected! Exceeded expectations, recommend Win10.

The StarTech Slim USB 3.0 to HDMI External Video Card Multi Monitor Adapter worked perfect to connect two monitors to my older laptop. It was recommended by the B and H representative after looking at photos of my old laptop through photos he had me email him. I appreciate the kind and knowledgable assistance to create my perfect photo editing set up.

I was very frustrated after spending several weeks and money trying to find a device to add a 3rd monitor to my Huawei Matebook D15. Long story short, I found out after buying another expensive adapter, that the Type-C port on my laptop doesn’t transmit video signal (FML!!!). I came across this StarTech adapter, but was hesitant at the beginning because I had never tried a video adapter that connects via USB, but at the end I decided to give it a try in order to exhaust any available options to accomplish what I needed. Once I got it, I downloaded the latest driver from their website, followed the installation instructions, and upon restarting my computer and connecting the HDMI cable to the adapter, Voila! I got video! Although I couldn’t use the 75Hz that my monitor supports, I felt happy to finally had found what I needed. Cheers,
