Connecting 2 external monitors via 1 thunderbolt USB-C

by shivalucy . Updated 5 years, 5 months ago

Does anyone have a suggestion?

I’m trying to connect two 60hz 1920×1080 HP 27FW monitors to a Microsoft Surface laptop.

The laptop has one output, a thunderbolt USB-C. I’m using HDMI cables included with the monitors.

I already tried this USB-C – dual HDMI adapter but it doesn’t work:

I think it’s not possible to set the monitors / laptop to 30hz..

I could try an 4K@60hz adapter but i doubt this is right since advertisements aren’t that clear. Or do I need to use low resolution in the laptop to be able to switch to 30hz external?

Thanks in advance!

* Miracast / wireless monitor is not an option
