How to Easily Connect Up to 8 Monitors to a Windows Computer 

Have u testing ?

The big mount looks like the AVLT Hex 32" Monitor Desk Stand

i am watching this video and they NEVER mentioned Desktop ..ALWAYS ONLY Laptops so I thinking this will not work on a desktop ..I not seeing anyone showing it working ONLY on a desktop

​@@jacenkun2931 It will work fine on a desktop, I'm running 3 monitors on my Desktop with an old GTX 970 and four DisplayLink USB2DVI Adapters (ala Plugables product)

​@@jacenkun2931 this would 100% also work on a desktop.

Hello and thanks for asking! Unfortunately our products are not able to provide this type of functionality. At time the time of this comment our products are only able to provide extended or mirror display functionality. Please let us know if we can be of any additional assistance.

Hello and thanks for asking! Yes you can! Our UGA-HDMI-S adds one additional HDMI display that can run at 1920 x 1080 @ 60Hz. --> plugable.com/products/uga-hdmi-s Please note that the Silicon Motion driver is required to use this adapter and you can download it from here --> plugable.com/pages/siliconmotion If you are using macOS the 'Screen Recording' permission is required. With the UGA-HDMI-S there is one additional virtual display created, and then the InstantView software 'records' that display to rendering it externally on your monitor. There is no actual recording or saving of information occurring, just this 'mirroring' of the virtual display to your physical monitor. Please let us know if we can be of any additional assistance.

Hello there, thanks for reach out to us! We would strongly suggest reaching out to our product owners here: plugable.com/pages/support with your brand/model of displays and computer. This way they can provide an accurate recommendation for a Plugable product! We look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks for asking! With a modern Windows laptop the configuration shared in this video should work well. This would be an 11th or 12th Generation Intel. The adapters shown in this video should be able to power your 8 TV's however please note that these adapters are limited to 1920x1080 @ 60Hz. If your TV's are 4K displays, I would also recommend taking a look at our USBC-6950U which can run 2 displays up to 4K 60Hz ( plugable.com/products/usbc-6950u ). This is also a software driven graphical solution and should work well. Both the USBC-6950U and UGA-HDMI-2S ( plugable.com/products/uga-hdmi-2s ) use software to render your external display, and would not benefit from a more expensive GPU option. This is why we recommend a higher end CPU for environments such as you are describing. Please let us know if we can be of any additional assistance! Sean // Plugable.com/Support

Hello i would like do the same setup with smart Tv Hère are m'y configuration TYPE : SMART TV MODEL : ATL-50D9S RESOLUTION : 4K HDR 3840 x 2160 PIXELS TAILLE DE L’ECRAN : 50″ SMART TV : ANDROID 9.0 /ROM 1.5GB/ RAM 8GB PORTS : 1 VGA/ 2 USB/ 3 HDMI/ 1 COAX/ 1 EARPHONE OUT/ 1 AV INPUT/ 1 YPBPR/ 1 RJ45 Wich device do i need to setup IP to 6 screens

No

Get a "USB 3.0 to HDMI Adapter" or "USB 3.0 to Display port", or one of each and plug your monitors there. Just be cautious cause depending on your PC you might not get full quality or work 100%

Hello and thanks for asking! While the adapters in this video (as well as our USBC-768H4, the 4 display version) could work in your setup, we would caution against using video on each display. The adapters in this video use a software driver to render your external displays, and this can quickly result in a decrease in overall performance. If you wish to use the adapters to add additional screens for more passive tasks, such as reading stream chat or similar this configuration should work well for you! My apologies for not having a better answer for you at this time. Please let us know how we can be of additional assistance. Sean // Plugable.com/Support

Thanks for asking! Unfortunately the setup you are hoping to use would not achieve the goal I believe you are hoping to achieve. In order to use display spanning features (8 displays functioning as one) that you have mentioned, you will need to use a device that is connected directly to your Nvidia GPU. At this time that you would not be able to do so by adding one of our graphics adapters. My apologies for not having a better answer for you at this time. Please let us know if we can be of any additional assistance. Sean // Plugable Support

@@Plugable thanks for your reply. What type of device you can recomend? I'm totally newbie ☹️

@@f0kuz518 Not a problem! We're happy to help! In order to be able to best understand your setup, and your goal can you please clarify a few things for us? You mention the RTX 2060 6GB, can you also please let us know what CPU and the exact make and model of RTX 2060 you have? Are you looking to game across all 6 screens? Are you interesting in having 6 screens, but only have 3 used as a single spanned display? The other 3 could be used as extended desktops. The difference being that extended allows you to drag windows, but only full screen on one display at a time. Whereas spanned displays can act like one large display. Sean // Plugable Support

​@@Plugable great! here are the laptop details: Intel Core i7-9750H 6 x 2.6 - 4.5GHz Turbo, 12MB, UHD 630, 45W NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 6GB, DirectX: 12.0, Driver version: 462.75, Driver type: DCH It will be used mainly for trading so it only needs to handle basic charts(games are excluded from specs for me) and 95% of time it will act as 8 monitors as single spanned display. It will be nice to have an option to run 6 as single one spanned and 2 others as extended.

@@f0kuz518 Thanks for providing those details. As mentioned previously, unfortunately you would only be able to span the displays that are connected directly to your RTX 2060. This should total 4 displays spanned (however I am not sure of the exact model of RTX 2060 you have). With that in mind you could then add an additional 4 displays using two of our UGA-HDMI-2S, however please note that these would only be able to be extended. Please let us know if you have any additional questions. Sean // Plugable Support

Hello thank you for contacting us at Plugable. I'd be glad to certainly answer your questions. 1. Any compatible Windows 10 or 11 laptop with either two USB 3.0 ports or two USB-C ports. 2. it is possible to use DisplayPort adapters such as our UGA-DP-S instead to achieve up to 8 monitors. 3. It is possible to mix-match the use of our HDMI and DisplayPort adapters.

​@@PlugableThank you kındly. One more question: don't I need any driver whatsoever or is it simply plug and play?

@@ozake26 These adapters do require Silicon Motion InstantView drivers, which are automatically installed via Windows Update. We also have manual instructions to install the drivers included with the adapters.

@@Plugable Thank you kındly. Have a great week.

HI! Thank you for your interest in our products! We have a USB 3 switch called the USB3-SWITCH2.

Hello Lucas, thanks for reaching out. This would depend on the resolution of the monitor. In the case of having a 5th screen, we would recommend reaching out to our product team at plugable.com/pages/support for a tailored recommendation based on your system and displays.

@@Plugable its 21:9 so it is 2560x1080 full hd Ultrawide. Asking because i dont want to buy and have it not working, since im in brazil and returning it would suck

Thank you for your question, at the moment 8 monitors is the limit when using these adapters.

Hello Lin, thanks for reaching out. Running two additional monitors via software (common with our 3.0 USB docks), you should have no issue as the displays are being enumerated by the device itself rather than the onboard graphics. If you'd like a more accurate recommendation on a device for this, you'll want to reach out to our support team at plugable.com/pages/support We hope to hear from you!

Hello, we can certainly assist and help with setup for these graphics adapters. With touchscreen monitors there are an additional layer of complexity that can occur compared to normal monitors which may cause issues. Can you contact us directly from our support page here so that we can further investigate plugable.com/pages/support

Thanks for asking! There can be some latency or 'lag' involved when streaming video over a USB adapter, however this is based on available system resources. The graphics adapters shown in this video will use CPU resources primarily to render the external display. As a result performance can quickly degrade the more displays you are using, especially when showing video. If you have any additional questions please let us know. You can also reach out to us at --> htts://plugable.com/support Sean // Plugable Support

Yes, these are all 1920 x 1080 monitors, as this is the maximum resolution these adapters can support. The more displays you add, the more GPU and CPU processing power is required, so it is recommended that you have a modern host laptop or PC. A discrete GPU would be helpful as well, but results may vary depending on the tasks being done.

Hello there, thanks for reaching out! It is hard to say without knowing the full extent of your setup as some hosts have a cap on how many displays can be added via software enabled devices. We would strongly recommend reaching out to our product experts at: plugable.com/pages/support for an accurate recommendation based on your setup. Thanks again!

Hello Diego! It's hard to say what may be causing those reviewers' issues. This setup can be resource intensive and there are some nuances to take into consideration based on system and OS. If you'd like to know more we strongly suggest reaching out to our support team with your system specs and monitor make/model at plugable.com/pages/support Lastly, if the setup does not work for you, we do offer a 30-day no-hassle return policy for all products sold by Plugable and fulfilled by Amazon.

Thanks for asking! If you have a newer host computer, with an 11th gen Intel or similar AMD this should be okay. Please note that the graphics adapters show in this video are not capable of rendering at resolutions higher than 1920 x 1080 @ 60Hz. We do sell products that can provide up to 4K 60Hz resolutions, and I have listed those below. Our USBC-6950U is capable of offering 2 x 4K 60Hz displays over either DisplayPort or HDMI. You can safely add 2 of these to your host system for your 4 monitors. --> plugable.com/products/usbc-6950u Please let us know how we can be of additional assistance, we're here to help!

Hello Vladamir, thanks for reaching out. This is likely due to unsupported video via USB-C which is common in Ryzen systems. To achieve two displays, you'll need a USB 3.0 based device such as our UGA-HDMI-2S, or USBC-6950U, or a UD-3900Z (docking station). The devices mentioned range from 1920 x 1080 @ 60Hz to 4K @ 60Hz.

Thanks for asking! We speak to this on our website in the technical documentation for the TBT4-UDZ dock (kb.plugable.com/1705024), however, to speak to this in short here... DP to HDMI is supported but it requires an "active" adapter, "passive" adapters are not supported. If you have any additional questions please feel free to contact our support team at support@plugable.com

Hello there, thanks for reaching out. The UGA-HDMI-2S does require software to be installed. These drivers can be found here: plugable.com/pages/siliconmotion If you're still running into issues, be sure to reach out to our support team at support@plugable.com

Thanks for asking! For the UGA-HDMI-2S as long as the displays have 1920x1080p 60hz resolutions and can connect over HDMI, absolutely!

Hi Chad, thank you for asking. You could connect both your USBC-6950UE adapters to your laptop/system using either USB-A or USB-C (if available) on your system and that should satisfy at least four external monitors without needing a Hub. Most laptop/systems come with USB-A and now USB-C ports so instead of using a Hub, you could simply use your onboard USB ports instead. Please keep in mind that your USBC-6950UE adapters are only capable of providing two external monitors at a time. Not four. The reason I mention this is you brought up eight monitors so I wanted to help clarify. If you were looking to connect four more monitors then you would need a Hub such as the USB3-HUB7C and two additional USBC-6950UE adapters (or UGA-HDMI-2S adapters as seen in this video) to accommodate eight external monitors. All that being said, please note that this video does describe some possible limitations (video start 1:37) so you will want to keep this in mind if you are looking to add additional monitors past your CPU or GPU specifications.

Thanks for asking! You do not need a CPU with an integrated graphics card. However you would need to have at least one display connected to your RX580 for the best results. In order for our software based Graphics Adapters to work a system graphics card does need to be 'woken up' by having a directly attached display.

To use the Silicon Motion based adapters we show in this video, you would need to download the Silicon Motion drivers from our website. --> plugable.com/pages/siliconmotion If you need further assistance please do not hesitate to reach out to us at support@plugable.com or plugable.com/support Sean // Plugable Support

Thanks for asking! It's hard to guestimate what the load will be in a generalized way. I can note that the majority of the weight (and strain) will be put on the systems CPU, and overall system bandwidth. If you have a system in mind, can you please share the make and model?
