WAVLINK USB 3.0/USB C to HDMI Universal Video Adapter, Displaylink HDMI Adapter Supports up to 6 Monitor, Compatible with Windows 11/10, MacOS (M1-M5 Mac,New Mabook Neo), ChromeOS

I do not know much about laptop systems, but this adapter works perfectly for my needs. It is very easy to use and I highly recommend it.

I have a Macbook Air M1 that is now running Asahi Linux 6.17.0-1001-asahi-arm Ubuntu 25.10. The external display's HDMI cable is plugged into the Wavlink. The Wavelink's USB-3.0 cable is plugged into its included USB-C adapter, which is plugged into a USB-C port on an Anker 6-port USB-C hub. The hub is plugged into the second USB-C port on the Mabook. At first, it didn't work, but after going to the Synaptics website, then to the DisplayLink Ubuntu drivers page, and downloading the "synaptics-repository-keyring.deb" file, then following the instructions, bingo, it started working, there was a second Ubuntu desktop on the external monitor. Stable, colors look right, no evident cursor lag, it just worked. Didn't even need to reboot the Macbook. Slick. Close the lid, and the "main" desktop jumps to the external display. Open the lid, things go back to how they were. The only downside so far is that the 4K external display is getting a 1080p 60Hz signal, which is definitely a lot more useable than no signal at all. Good enough. Though it is kind of hilarious to use a 43" display at 1080p. Until the day comes when the wonderful Asahi team sleuths out HDMI through USB-C on the MBAs, this is a very workable solution. Recommended!

This WAVLINK USB 3.0 to HDMI adapter works as expected and gives my tablet a nice external screen setup. The picture is clear, and it makes the tablet much more useful for watching videos, working, or using a bigger display. One thing I would suggest is using it with a self-powered USB hub or making sure your setup has enough power, especially if you are connecting it to a tablet. Overall, it does the job well and I’m happy with it.

Bought 2 of these to use with an iMac. Including the iMac, I'm running 5 monitors. One of these adapters works every time, the other one works most of the time - on occasion it will not wake the monitor when the computer wakes from sleep. If I unplug the adapter from my computer, wait a couple seconds then plug it back in, it works (I may have to do this about 10 times however before it works) - I shouldn't have to do that, I'm wearing out the USB port/plug, but it works otherwise. I've switched monitors/cable/etc, reset SMC/NVRAM/PRAM on my Mac and still the (same) one adapter works every time and the other does not. Maybe I got a dud..? I thought about buying another one to run a 3rd monitor (giving me 6 monitors total in my setup), but the price of these went up. I've held off in buying the 3rd adapter due to the increased price & not knowing if I'll have activation/waking issues like one I already have (mentioned above). Update 1: I contacted Wavlink about the issue noted above & they sent me another adapter & all has worked good since. (I purchased another adapter a few months later & had a total of 6 screens working- the iMac & 5 external monitors- 2 via Thunderbolt/USB-C & 3 via Wavlink adapters) Update 2: I'm now using 2 Wavlink adapters on a 2018 Mac Mini, both plugged into the USB ports on the back of the Mini. They work great, the only issue is that the Mini will not wake from sleep regardless if I put it to sleep or it sleeps on its own after a set time. Pressing the mouse button or keyboard will wake the Mini, but none of the monitors will show anything. The monitors do light up with a dark grey/black screen & the power LED changed from orange to blue, but that's it. I have to press the power button on the back of the Mini to power-off & then power-on again to fix the problem. To avoid doing this I've enabled 2 settings in the 'Energy Saver' control panel- 'power nap' & prevent computer from sleeping automatically...". I do not like having the computer run all the time & not sleep, but it's either that or shut down/restart everyday.

I spent weeks trying to figure out how the HECK to set up my work Macbook Air to connect to two external displays so I can increase my workflow. After several youtube videos and online forums, I learned the unfortunate truth that the M1 Macs don't support more than one external display by default. I then went on a search to figure out how, if at all, anyone was able to set up multiple external displays. I kept finding videos by companies who were marketing their own products to allow you to have dual displays, however I found that all of these products either had way more than I needed and/or cost an arm and a leg. Now, I don't make much money and getting this figured out would be on my own dime, so I wasn't about to pay more than maybe $50 on what I needed. My company already provided me with an Anker adapter that can charge my laptop, has two USB 3.0 ports, another USB-C port for data, and an HDMI port. I saw from other reviews and videos that you can connect the second hdmi to your adapter via a USB 3.0 port to HDMI, along with DisplayLink. Again, I'm not trying to spend an arm and a leg, so I was hoping any adapter would work, but I was sorely mistaken. I ordered and return 3 different adapters before finally sucking it up and trying to find a better one that could hopefully work. I was happy to find this item with great reviews seemingly matching what I was looking to do and saying that it worked. This item was the cheapest option I've found thus far and so I decided to pull the plug, thinking ahead that if it didn't work again, I would just give up trying and stick with my laptop screen and one monitor. Shipping did take a little longer than I had hoped but wasn't unbearable. I took a breath before I plugged the adapter in and ALAS, it worked IMMEDIATELY!!!! I already had DisplayLink downloaded on my laptop since I was trying out other adapters before this one, so I didn't need to go through all those steps, but I'm certain you WILL need it in order for this to work. The product itself does contain instructions on how to download DisplayLink if it's your first time, so don't worry about having to figure that out. There are also plenty of videos out there to explain it as well. I've experienced no lag with my mouse or keyboard on the second external display, and it's SO nice to be able to finally have two large screens open rather than having to click through several tabs. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT IT IS AMAZING!!

DisplayLink support was contacted and logs were sent. The support agent said the DL unit reported that no monitor was connected. NOTE: THESE UNITS WILL REPORT THEY'RE NOT WORKING PROPERLY IF NO DISPLAY IS CONNECTED. I use a KVM switch in my setup. By direct connecting the DL unit to the monitor I was able to demonstrate that it worked. I still had a bit of trouble getting it working through the KVM. I was able to get it working though by using a fiber optic HDMi cable from DL unit to the KVM. Possibly the copper HDMI run was too long without the fiber. ***Old Review*** Spent half of a frustrated day trying to get this device to work. Tested on M1 Mini, M1 MacBook Pro, M2 MacBook Air. On all of these machines the DisplayLink Manager requested that I allow USB accessories. This is not required on Desktops, M1 Mini, and was allowed for both the laptops tested. Under system report all three computers showed the DisplayLink Device (WavLink here) was connected properly to the system. I tested using the 1.10 drive and 1.09 driver with no luck. Subsequent internet searches revealed that DisplayLink is no longer working properly since MacOS 14 Sonoma. I was so excited for this hardware to work that the fact that it is no longer working with MacOS really hurts.

I bought this as a workaround after my Windows 11 laptop stopped outputting video over USB-C / Thunderbolt after a Windows update. Native DisplayPort over USB-C would no longer work, and even Geek Squad couldn’t pin down why it failed. This adapter solved the problem immediately. I plugged it into a regular USB port, connected HDMI to my monitor (through my existing HDMI KVM switch), and the display came up right away. I didn’t even have to install the DisplayLink driver or reboot first, which honestly surprised me. It’s been stable, no flickering, and works perfectly for normal productivity work. This completely bypasses the broken DP Alt Mode path and just works. If your laptop suddenly won’t drive external monitors over USB-C anymore, this is an excellent and reliable fallback. Saved me a lot of time and frustration. Highly recommended.

March 15th: Has randomly stopped working again. Do NOT buy this product. Jan 25th Update: 2nd stopped working at random this morning with no changes whatsoever. I'm returning and not giving this product another chance. Appears "StarTech.com USB 3.0 to HDMI Adapter - DisplayLink Certified" does the same thing and I will be giving them a chance as this product must just be built cheap. Good luck guys! *Changed back to 1-star* Dec 2022 Update: The 2nd adapter sent to me has remained working for about 2 months now. Super happy with it (please stay working) - Changing back to 5 Stars Replacement UPDATE 1: Original unit died within 2 weeks and I thought it was ventura 13.0.1 until got a replacement adapter and confirmed it was this unit that died. It works as intended, but I would be ready to ask for a replacement because it seems to die easy. Going to not touch it again and hopefully it'll stay working. ORIGINAL: I've wanted 3 monitors for something but officially apple only supports 3+ on M1 Max and above. Firstly, ignore everyone saying they used this for a second monitor, there's already really simple ways to achieve that that anyone with google can achieve. but to get 3.... it's super tricky. I was about to give up when I read reviews saying to download mac driver on their website? I was ooooaky, and as soon as it download and I approved security to view mac scree, BAM! third one turned on. Good luck! This is the one for 3 extended! NOT MIRRORED, MIRRORED SUCKS

After 10 days of try various cable, docking port and other set ups this adapter has done what I wanted. Now running a Dell Latitude E6430 with built-in display as main screen with 2x Acer K242HL monitors, giving me a 3 screen extended desktop. Easy to set-up. Simply install the drive from CD provided, plug in adapter and monitor and you're good to go. I use USB3.0 connection and not checking backwards compatibility with USB2.0. Also updated my graphics drivers. 10 minutes and I was up and running. And at £32 it's a bargain. I haven't tested screen rotation and audio output features, I don't need it.

windws OSでしっかり作動しました。 なんかCore i◯ 12345みたいなところの最後に(F)がつくやつは使えないらしいです。 私のパソコンはCore i7 134500くらいのやつでFがつかないので、使うことができました。 安い中華製のモニターは反応しません。なぜだかは知りません。 繋いですぐ移りました。デバイスの状態によっては、もしかしたら何が動かす機能を入れるようかもしれません。

Produto excelente. Funcionou direitinho.

Inestable. Usado durante varios meses en un macbook pro y no hay manera de hacerlo funcionar de manera regular. A veces se conecta y otras veces no.

Best quality, Go for a buy without a doubts..
