A new workplace accessory looks to solve the problem of adding an unwieldy extra screen to your laptop or work PC.
The newly released 4 HDMI Multi-Display Adapter from Plugable can add four HDMI displays to almost any computer running Windows 10 or later or macOS 11, including Macs with an M1 or M2 chip that would otherwise Only one external monitor is supported.
Although smaller than you might expect, the adapter manages all the heavy lifting involved in distributing your video signal across multiple displays, connecting to the host computer via USB-C or USB 3.0 (USB-C to USB adapter included) or via HDMI for a single connection.
Tiny but powerful
The adapter weighs in at a very small 0.62lb / 7.4oz and measures only 6.77 x 4.88 x 1.06in / 17.2 x 12.4 x 2.7cm. The power to push content to four screens comes from the Silicon Motion chipset and simple download drivers via automatic downloads on Windows or the InstantView app on Mac (not DisplayLink).
At the time of writing, there is a $10 coupon available for individual purchases, bringing the price up to $119.00 on Amazon. Other current offers can be found here (opens in a new tab) for those who are looking for bulk prices.
