[SOLVED] USB C--with PD--to dual HDMI adapter

[DynV]

The cheapest USB C with PD to dual HDMI I can find is 29.71 CAD / 22.04 USD / 20.25 EUR including shipping is https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006172167262.html from a seller with above average reputation. Do you have another recommendation?

Thank you

Well, I'll tell you what. If you order electronics from aliexpress then you pretty much have nobody but yourself to blame when the magic smoke starts making an appearance, and it does, OFTEN, with Aliexpress electronic products especially those from generic, no name or unknown branded products. And especially on something with a high power delivery over a standard that it is fully not common on yet, even more so.

You'd be a lot better, and safer, spending a little more and getting something from a brand you can trust through a retailer like Canada computers, Newegg, Amazon, etc.

What do you need to use this with that requires USB-C power delivery and what wattage does it require? Assuming you are in Canada? Is that correct?

requires USB-C power delivery

yes

what wattage does it require?

65

Assuming you are in Canada? Is that correct?

yes. I you hover my nickname, do you fee "From CA" ?

 

[Darkbreeze]

In the US, we'd call that "From California", not "From Canada". Now, if it said "From CAN" then we'd assume Canada. You see what I mean? And, rarely do I ever look at that because rarely does anybody actually accurately fill that in when they create their profile. Plus on older accounts, there is no telling if that field was even correctly transferred from the old proprietary software to the current forum software and, people tend to move around. A lot.

You are aware that the device you linked to only does dual 4k@30hz, right? Is that sufficient for your use case or do you need 4k@60hz support?

yes.

With support for dual 4k@60hz.

In truth though, if you want something with fairly decent entry level quality, I'd be prepared to spend more like around 50 bucks CAD.

Thank you for those 2 suggestion, which I already seen. I would prefer if there was at least 2 USB-A, for keyboard and mouse, 3 (or more) would be preferable in case I wanted to check something on a USB stick.

 

[Darkbreeze]

I understand. Honestly, I've seen a few of these PD equipped low quality hubs smoke out. I would really recommend going with something a bit more expensive which, probably WILL have a lot more chance of having the additional USB ports you want it to have anyhow.

I ended up with https://www.amazon.ca/Docking-Station-Monitor-Charging-ThinkPad/dp/B0B9XP56P5/ , with 2 USB A 3.0 and 1 USB C (beside the PD one).
