Review on πŸ”Œ USB C to Dual HDMI Adapter: Dual Monitors Hub for 4K @60hz Laptop Display - HP/Dell/Surface/Lenovo/Thinkpad/Chromebook Compatible by Tray Smith

Excellent DP+HDMI Adapter supporting up to two 4K@60Hz in Enhanced Mode

Pretty nice dark gray adapter with a matte finish that goes well with my devices. In addition, the cable is braided and makes a quite durable impression. It can be attached to the side slot as shown in the picture, which I don't really need, but it's a cool feature. I believe it should only support up to two 4K @ 30Hz in enhanced mode (Windows 10), but there was a (good) surprise (details below). I have two 4K monitors (both capable of 4K@60Hz) and when I connected them to my Surface Pro 7 with this adapter, I was able to get up to 4K@60Hz + 4K@30Hz, which is actually better than in the product description. Since I was able to get two 4K @ 60Hz with another (more expensive) adapter, I think it's not a limitation of the Surface Pro 7, but the adapter itself. However, it's better than I expected. I then tried the same configuration with a new laptop I recently bought (HP Specter x360 15") and to my surprise I was able to get 4K at 60Hz on both my monitors (along with 4K on my laptop screen) The attached video shows the resolution and refresh rate of this configuration and I was quite surprised that I was able to get three 4K 60Hz screens as I just unplugged the USB-C from the SP7 and plugged it into HP and didn't change anything else suggests that both the laptop and the adapter play a role together to get 4K@60Hz FYI SP7 does not support Thunderbolt while HP Specter supports Thunderbolt 4 which could be one of the reasons The adapter I mentioned costs about 60 bucks and I was really amazed that this 22 dollar adapter naturally gives two 4K at 60Hz with my HP laptop and you can get better results ( 4K@60Hz + 4K@30Hz or two 4K@60Hz) as above if it also had a PD connector that would be really good but for the price it's asking too much. Anyway, I can't think of anything and I highly recommend this adapter. Thanks for a great product!
