Laptop and Two Monitors - No Dock Required 

no lengthy intro, no filler words, just get to the point, what a rare tutorial i find these days excellent video, sir

just need more content creators like YOU!. no bogus! straight to the point, you wont be left with questions, if someone cant understand this video and this gentleman's explanation, god bless them. AMAZING WORK! you just solved my problem in less than 4min.

OMG, that was the best video on how to do this. I didnt even need to buy any cables! i had it all to go, just a few setting adjustments. THANK YOU!

I know this video is two years old, but it was exactly what I was looking for. I have spent over 40 minutes trying to figure out what was wrong with my screens and you helped me in the matter of minutes thank you.

Excellent video. Had to set up my wife’s dual system, and this worked perfectly! You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.

damn this is probably the most comprehensive tutorial I've ever seen. good job and thanks mate!

Exactly What I was looking for a solution to connect multiple monitors to MAC (One has HDMI, Second Monitor has VGA Port). Big Thank you!

Your videos have helped me a lot, very concise and clear, no complicated and obscure expressions and very realistic! I hope you keep doing them, I've become a fan!

Thank you so much. You have literally saved me hours of trying to work this out, and also $$ in restoring to buying an expensive hub :). In addition, I learned a few extra things. So grateful :D

Thank you sir. I really appreciate the short concise instructions. Starting out can be quite daunting but also fun.

Amazing!!!! Thank you so much for this. The wires I ordered come today and then following your instructions and it's worked perfectly.

After I watched your video you saved me from buying a docking station and made it work using the two hubs I already have. now I have tripled what I can use for all. Thanks

Not bad. However, the key info on USBC is missing! The USBC port MUST be either a 'display port' (look for D type logo next to it, OR Thunderbolt (look for a thunderbolt arrow next to it). If not most likely you have USB type C SS which is only useful for charging-i.e no vid output.

Many Thanks!!!I looked at many videos on this but only this one showed the cables that I could understand!!!

This is a good learning video. Your clear instructions are easy to follow. Thank you.

This is exactly what I needed. I bought an HDMI adapter only to find out that the seller gave me an HDMI Splitter so it only duplicate my display and not extend. So I bought an HDMI to USB Type C adapter to try if it will work and glad that I came across to your channel. I was planning to buy a dock station too 'coz I'm hopeless glad you saved me from spending on expensive ones. Now I'm confident that it will work. We have the same equipment tho, I'm using Dell 5310 with the same monitors as yours. Bless your soul :)

LIFESAVERRRRR!!! I BOUGHT differents splitter or similar devices and nothing worked as I wanted !!! BUT this simple trick just was perfect!!!!

Thank you. I'm gonna be working from home and I need to set up my home office soon. This is what I was looking for. 😊

Really nice and subtle editing here and there.

Thank you for uploading this. Very helpful. Solved my issue quickly.

After watching your video I was able to set up my work command center in no time flat!

Amazing video. You put it simple and slow and exactly explained what I was looking for. You exactly hit the need.

This solved the setup I was trying to do, thank you for the video, easy explanation

Great video, I’ve been searching something like this for a while with no results until now. I actually have the same computer, so thanks

Thank you for the tip. I have at work a nice ($300) hub for connecting everything, but I can't bring it home when I WFH. The adaptor is an affordable way to connect the laptop to dual monitors.

I never considered this type of set up. I had to see it to get the idea. I'm thinking gonna do that now.😊

This was brilliant. Thank you very much. This was the perfect solution to my problem.

You just made my day!! Thank you sir!

Thanks. Dock is useful for connect or disconnect all things at one time.

Excellent video thank you, very helpful and informative

Thanks. Very clear and easy to follow.❤

Nice one I like it !! Sweet and Simple

Dear Friend.. Thanks very much for the VIDEO.. Was very helpful. Keep making videos like this.. Keep up the good work.. All the best to you.. Best regard, Jude.

Hello and thank you very much for your interesting video. I have a question for you. I need to connect my Lenovo Ideapad Flex15 i7 (2014) to 2 monitors: one is an LG tv (quite old) and one is a newer Samsung screen. I would like to have 3 independent screens (1, 2, 3), exactly as in your nice video! At the moment I'm using the HDMI port from my laptop to the HDMI splitter, then going to the 2 monitors (HDMI). So Windows recognizes 2 screens only, 1 and 2 (doubled) . On my laptop there are 3 standard USB ports, 1 HDMI, 1 ethernet. Can I connect the third monitor through an USB cable from my laptop to the HDMI monitor port? Not using any HDMI splitter? If so, does my video card support this third monitor or do I need to get an external video card? In this case can you suggest any ones to connect through USB? Lastly, are there any other options for connecting 3 monitors to get 3 separate screens? Thank you very much in advance for your help. Best

Very helpful! Thanks so much!

Can we connect one monitor to laptop through HDMI and two monitors between them (HDMI OUT to HDMI IN)? I mean monitors, like Dell P2422HE? Will it work like two separate monitors?

This was fantastic!! Thank you!!

Great video. Thanks for sharing 👍

Perfect!! Thank you

Thank you for the valuable information

Hi. Great video! If i have to connect two laptops to a single monitor and use both together, would pip be the only way to go or can a two monitor solution be more cost effective somehow?

Very nice! Quite handy

Thank you for the tutorial. Have one question a bit different from the goal of this video. Not sure if you have also a video for that but i couldn't find it so far. What if one wants to have a KVM Switch to manage a dual monitor setup and respective USBs attached to the laptop to switch between 2 laptops? My laptop only has one HDMI which i believe forces me to have an HDMI Switch but there are plently and expensive. KVM HDMI Switch is already expensive as well. Any insights you can provide? Thank you in advance

Thank you so much!!! Love from India♥

Amazing. I will do this one day

I want to make sure im doing this properly, because the monitor with the type-c to HDMI won't detect the signal. For that monitor, the special USB cord also has to be connected, right? Maybe I'm missing something

Thank You... This is the most useful video on Using the USB type B Upstream Cable.

Hi sir, I have HDMI and normal USB ports. If ill buy adapter usb to hdmi will it work for the second monitor?

Great vid bro!!

Hey there! I have a laptop with 2 monitors. Though there are enough ports, am I wrong for thinking that all can be connected via 2 HDMI cables? 1 HDMI cable from monitor 1 to monitor 2 and 1 HDMI cable from monitor 2 and the laptop? Thanks a bunch!

Hello, Sir. I am hoping you could help me with my problem. Currently, I am using an Acer Swift 3 with a USB-C port. I have been planning to set up 2 monitors for my laptop, so I bought a USB-C to HDMI adapter. However, when I tried using the adapter, it won't work. A pop-up notification is telling me that the USB might be limited. Is there something I can do to make this work?

Thank you so much, you resolved my issue...From India

Title: Laptop and Two Monitors - No Dock Required, watch video.. requires type-c expansion dock.. lol

Bro, is your laptop type c port 3.1 gen 2 or 3.2 gen 2? Do you think a MSI leopard gp3 8re laptop is capable of supporting an external laptop with a USB type c port?

Great video, thank you! One question, if you close the lid of the laptop, can you still use the two external screens independently? Thanks,

Hi there, very thanks for this video. Question: I have two old monitors (they have no HDMI), is this approach workable with VGA monitors?

Thanks a lot for sharing. I still didn't get why we need USB 3.0 cable? Can you please explain?

Great tutorial. I have added my 2 screens but it seems to only accept 1 screen at a time otherwise the 3rd screen goes blank and the 2nd screen just keeps flickering. How do I correct this?

Super.....thanks for the suggestion

Awesome video! Thank you for sharing!!

Hi, thanks for the video. I already have a P2419HC dell monitor. I am trying to purchase a P2419H dell monitor. Do you foreee any problem with the connection?

@eds drafts I'm planning on using a USB C to HDMI cable to connect my laptop to my second monitor. Do you know if that cable will also be able to charge my laptop while displaying output to the monitor? I only have one USB C port on my laptop and wanted to know if we can charge and display output at the same time. If not, i'll probably have to buy an adapter which splits the one USB C port on my laptop to two ports, one for USB C and one for HDMI.

Thank you for the great instruction. Could you please explain why you need a the USB type-B cable connection? You mentioned in the video that it is to "use the hub on the monitor to power all the devices". But each monitor is connected with a power cable so I wonder if this USB type-B cable is really necessary.

Thank you for your help Now I can use 3 ,monitors

This deserves a LIKE button.

Hi, I'm using a Dell Latitude 7410 but I dont have the numbers on the display and I can't seem to disable my laptop screen since I already have 2 external monitors. The settings seems different from other windows. Do you know if it is a chrome book issue?

Your videos and explanations are really helpful. Thank you. Question; I have a monitor that I use via hdmi to my laptop and was just given a second monitor with DP ports, no hdmi. Am I able to do this, connect laptop to 1st monitor with hdmi and then connect 1st monitor to 2nd monitor with DisplayPort cable? Thank you!

Hello bro. This method can support full performance of each monitor (Resolution, Hertz,..) or Not ?

Got one question, I am also using a Dell P24195 with a latest Lenovo laptop. My qeustion is if we are connecting to external monitor do this effect the laptop battery? do we need to connect the laptop to power all time?

Is there a way to connect audio directly to the monitor? Like I have an hdmi switcher for my computer and PlayStation, but I always have to switch the usb chord when I want to switch devices, is a usb switcher my only option?

Is there a way to connect to 2 monitors to my desk computor. The computor has on one spot to add a screen. We did it before with older screens but these are new dell monitors. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Your video was great.

THank you so much, very useful vidro

Thanks bro it worked for me

Instead of a laptop or netbook, I have a built-in computer monitor Toshiba LX830. But it unable to detect 2nd display on my Dell I2312HM monitor or AOC I2757FH despite using USB>HDMI and HDMI>VGA adapters. Any advice?

would like get your advice if the monitor only with VGA, can i use the VGA - HDMI convertor and can function as extended screen? Thanks

hej. i ve been using exactly this approach on a HP probook 440 g5 with two dell se2723ds but i didnt get a signal on the USBC t HDMI port... do you have any idea what might cause the problem? i should be able to receive two 2k signals with that setup, right?

Do you have a video of how to connect two monitors without the laptop. I didn’t get Display cable just two Type b and HDMI

HI sir! my question is: with a vga ad hdmi can i do this? My pc has 1 hdmi 1 vga. they don't work simultaneously. i appreciate !

I have tried it, the screen connected through the USBC is not working (I have a SS USBC ) So i guess the usb c port should support display output in order for this to work Do you suggest another solution for me ?

I was wondering if this can be done using a wireless HDMI extender and receiver going to a hdmi splitter then sending the signal to two separate monitors

Hi, is it required that two monitots should have USB type C or HDMI will be enough?

Is this USB-C a thunderbolt port or just a regular USB-C?

Hello Sir - Nice Video. Thanks. Need your guidance please. I am planning for triple monitor setup - 1 laptop and 2 monitors 24" FHD. Laptop has USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C (DisplayPort, Thunderbolt 4, USB charging). Monitors have HDMI port (2.0) and DisplayPort (1.2). What is the best way to create this setup with extend display option.

Maybe you can assist me with a problem I have, The monitors have only VGA and DP ports, and they are both DELL E2720H FULL HD monitors. In addition, I have a DELL Vostro laptop with a USB type C port and HDMI port. I wonder if I can use 3 screens as you did with this setup. I have a HDMI to DP cable for the first screen, a DP cable for the second screen, and a type C converter to DP that I hope will work. Would it be able to display three screens or would it not work? Is there another way I can reach you, perhaps by mail? Thank you!

Do I need the stuff on the back of the monitor? Can I just connect the USB-C/HDMI to one monitor and the HDMI on the laptop to the other monitor?

Great video...thanks What is the cable at 1:16 for ?

Thank you kind sir 🤗

I am having trouble connecting 3 monitors with a laptop. Any suggestions? I’m using Dell docking station with 2 display port and a HDMI, but as soon as I connect HDMI for a third monitor, it doesn’t work. Only two monitors stay active. Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks for guide

Thank you for this video! I would really appreciate your help regarding the following problem. I did not have a USB 3.0 cable that came with my monitors. I have an HDMI plugging directly into my Lenovo ThinkPad laptop from one monitor and then the other monitors HDMI cord plugged into a USB C to HDMI adapter that is plugged into the laptop. Currently, I can only get the monitor whose HDMI cord is plugged directly into the laptop to work, but the other monitor attached to the adapter is not working. What am I missing? My Dell monitors are Dell S2421HS and only have ports for HDMI (HDCP 1.4), audio line-out and DisplayPort 1.2. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks

Hi , if you connect the keyboard and mouse to one monitor, how to they work on all three monitors. I have a lot to learn!😊

Thank you so much for this video as it is really helpful. Great Job 👍

Could not extend laptop screen to x2 HP EliteDisplay E243 monitors using splitter. Your video greatly helped. Thank you tumas✔✔

Great Video. btw I'm using the same laptop model for my work. planning to buy a 4k monitor with type-c, will it run at 60hz by default?

good job

Could I use a USB to HDMI adaptor for monitor #2 instead? my laptop had both USB-C and USB holes

Amazing

Great video. Thank you. One question: (sorry if too basic).. what's the use of the cable at 1:17 / 2:33 please?

Can you do dual monitors with no USB-C. Is it possible if my laptop only have HDMI / USB-A?

Hi sir, I am using this laptop model Zenbook UX533FD and using 2 Samsung M5 monitors, may I ask if the setup you recommended would also work for me? Truly appreciate your guidance and help! (: In that case will I need the USB 3.0 cables?
