Issue is these adapters are software driven, so they be using alot of the cpu up. Next it be for 2d only, you will have alot of tearing and video frame skips. Also zi have noticed you usb mouse will also get frame loss and delays equalling eradic mouse movements. Thess adapters are only good reallly for projectors, for power points, pos, advert info displays.

I have a problem, when i close the lid to the laptop the monitors going through the docking station go blank, I have the laptop set to do nothing when lid is closed.. any ideas.. its a dell 5540 laptop and a Dell Thunderbolt Dock WD22TB4, also for some reason the cpu usage is constantly bouncing from 50% to 100% usage.. doc had a 4k via usbc and a 2k via d port , laptop has one hdmi 1080 monitor straight in.

I have been searching the internet for info about my issue. I have a Lenovo Legion Y720 which suddenly could not handle en external graphics anymore. It has an HDMI, Firewire, and USB-C ports all of which used to be able to handle external monitors. Suddenly the external monitor display a white screen with some flickering colors at the top. I assume the display is just some memory location in the hardware but even replacing the RAM made no difference. What other hardware would handle the external graphics?

[@vasttee]

I find it interesting the video does not cover (and no comment I can find) regarding daisy-chaining the Display Port monitors which is a feature of the DP standard. Would be nice to see an additional video on that.

Unfortunately, this feature is not included in a lot of monitors. It's a great idea, but most people won't be able to take advantage of it.

[@RicardoReyes]

I'm using a cable matter box to connect two monitors via DP. i want to add a 3rd monitor And it has a DisplayPort and HDMI port, but the cable matter box does not support another port. my laptop has an hdmi port but when i connect the 3rd monitor one of the other 2 connected monitors goes dark. why? My buddy and I work for the same company so we have the exact same three monitors and the same Dell computer. The only difference is that my HDMI port is located on the left side along with practically all of the other types of ports and where I connect my cable matter. His has his HDMI port located on the right side and still everything is on the left side of other ports for him. He can get all three monitors to work by using the same cable matter box on connecting those two monitors to it and then connecting his third monitor via HDMI to his laptop. But for whatever reason I cannot do that. I don't understand why

[@vineethachuthan3687]

Hello, what about the built in display ports like hdmi and mini display ports that come with the laptop? You can hook up additional monitors using those to get another 2 monitors hooked up, for a total of 7 monitors, granted the display port might need an adapter depending on the monitor being connected has the appropriate cables for mini display or not..

[@UselessGamingLIVE]

this is a really good video its just that if u have 5 monitor for you laptop at that point just buy a pc becuse im sure those monitor will drain the battery hella fast

Great training, thanks. Is there an easy way to share three screens, and a wireless mouse and keyboard between a home desktop, and a work laptop. I would love to understand his to achieve that.

[@NerdSidekick]

Logitech has a number of mice and keyboards that let you connect them to up to 3 computers with the touch of a button. For example, this mouse: amzn.to/3AoRIgr and this keyboard: amzn.to/3AoRYfp However, that does not share screens with multiple computers. To do that easily, you need a KVM switch. KVM stands for Keyboard, Video and Mouse. You can see those devices by using this link: amzn.to/3YtWD7V Hope that helps!

Splitters only duplicate a screen, they don't give you new screen real estate to work on.

[@maxbusinessprofitssergiode5747]

Think this will work on a HP All in One Envy 34xx series? I want 3 screens independent. Could this replace a expensive thunderbolt dock?

[@NerdSidekick]

Most likely it will work. The USB C port has to support DisplayPort (not all USB C ports do). Thunderbolt ports should support DisplayPort, and there are inexpensive converters that work with those if this docking station does not, for some reason.

[@katenis]

Thank you for your video. I’m trying to connect 2 monitors to a laptop. One is connected directly from HDMI port to HDMI on the monitor. The other one I bought an adapter USB C connector that has 2 HDMI ports. This one is not working with the 2nd monitor. Can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. It’s not detecting the monitor.

[@NerdSidekick]

It could be that the USB C port you are plugged into does not support DisplayPort video, which is probably required for the USB C hub or docking station to display video on a monitor. Check the specs for the USB C port on your computer to determine if it provides DisplayPort.

Hi , so my laptop has a normal c type port. It's not a lightning c type port. So does the docking station support and work for extending screen to 2 monitors ??

[@NerdSidekick]

Your type C port needs to support DisplayPort. You can look at the port to see if it shows a DisplayPort logo next to it (letter D with a P inside it). Not all ports will have the logo even if they do support DisplayPort. Or check the manual that came with the computer or find it online. Or ask the manufacturer if the port supports DisplayPort.

Hi, Mr. Kelley, I came across your video pertaining to docking station and I have tried several of brand of docking stations and I still cannot get these docking stations to work seamlessly.

However, if I start am to switch on the laptop with the docking 's USB-C pre-inserted/attached, the monitors doesn't activate and I have to unplug and re-insert the USB-C inorder to get them working.

[@NerdSidekick]

I have a couple of different monitors that I can power and provide video to the device with a single USB-C cable. You have to have the right USB-C port (on the computer and the monitor) and the right cable. Check product reviews to find out how people are able to connect to devices. You may find that a monitor will work on a single cable, but having a dedicated power cable and video cable works better.

Make sure the monitor actually has speakers built-in. HDMI should carry the audio signal. Check the monitor controls to see if the volume is turned up, and see if there are any other controls related to audio that need adjusting.

You probably need to change the audio output device. Click on the speaker icon in your taskbar. Then, depending on which version of Windows you are running, you need to select the audio output device. Windows 10 is just a simple click of the up arrow, then selecting the device. Windows 11 requires a click on an icon on the lower right, then choose your output device.

I want to go off one hub almost full to another side of the desk where I want to do one monitor and two additional usb to serial addapters.

[@NerdSidekick]

Theoretically, it should work, but you will have to experiment. Power could be an issue if you are using a bus-powered hub (gets power through the USB cable instead of a separate power adapter). You could just use a single hub and get some long monitor cables or long USB cables (or both).

Make sure you are extending, not cloning your screen. How did you attach the extra monitor? What kind of port on the computer? What kind of port on the monitor? Did you use a splitter which would show the exact same thing on more than one monitor?
