Good afternoon,
I have a laptop and I want to add 2 monitors to it. What I want is to extend my computer screen in order to have shared graphics on each screen. My laptop has an hdmi output, so I'm looking for an adapter or converter that can run it. Is it possible for the 2 monitors to connect via hdmi? Is it possible that you send me a purchase link from Amazon or another provider privately to know what I have to buy?
Thank you very much for your help.

The easiest way is to connect the monitors to a usb port via an adapter. You can find an adapter usb to hdmi, or usb to vga.
This is a picture of the one I bought in Amazon, it works just fine. I also have a screen connected with vga but the adapter is not good, so I won't suggest it to you.

Thank you very much for your help, do you know if this model is compatible with thunderbolt 3? Doesn't this model exist with 2 hdmi slots? I suppose that you mean to put a monitor in the laptop's hdmi port and the other monitor connected with this accessory that you have sent me, is that correct? Is it the most advanced thing I can buy right now?

Thank you very much for your help.

Yes, my advice is to connect one screen to the hdmi port and the second to the usb port with an adapter. To my knowledge there are some splitter that allow to connect multiple hdmi screens to an hdmi port, but they just duplicate the signal.

I have three screens connected to my laptop, i simply bought a usb hub that gives me 5 extra usb exits and I plugged it to a usb port. Then i connected all the screens to the hub with 3 hdmi to USB converters.
Now I am outside the house, but tomorrow I will post a picture.

Yes, please send me the screenshot. Also tell me which usb hub with 5 ports you recommend. On the other hand, I have looked at this model on Amazon, tell me what you think.
A greeting.
