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 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 adapter works perfectly for connecting an extra monitor to my laptop. Setup was super easy — just plug it in and install the driver, and it was ready to go. The picture quality is sharp with no lag or flicker, even when streaming or multitasking. It’s compact, well-built, and does exactly what it promises. A must-have for anyone needing a quick and reliable dual-monitor setup!

Works great

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.

Easy to install, I do not like that the driver take the control of all video (maybe this is how it should work, it shuts down itself 2 times in a few weeks, I do not know if it is a standby delay or it is a problem, otherwise is a good device. The specs are not sufficient and I did not have time to dig for other places. It should be good to have the full specs on Amazon.

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.

I have a Dell Optiplex SFF running Windows 10, which this card is supposed to support. My system is recent enough that there should have been no problem installing this. I was very careful about it and had the correct driver (which must be downloaded as it did not install automatically.) Despite this, I couldn't get Windows to recognize this card fully enough to use it. When it did work, it disabled some of Windows, such as the system tray. I returned it after a couple of days of experimentation. Something this hard to set up will only cause constant trouble in the future. Years ago I was a computer repair tech, so I know what I'm doing, but this item does not! I DO NOT recommend this card. I returned it.

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。

Estou satisfeito, o produto funcionou perfeitamente!

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..
