This product operates at 800×600 resolution when connected to a PC at USB 2.0 speed. To ensure higher resolutions, make sure your computer has a USB 3.0 port. USB 3.0 ports are identifiable by the “SS” symbol next to the USB symbol and most commonly have blue plastic centers.

FAQ
-
The screen display abnormally?
Please check the following to see if something caused this issue: Check if your system display adapter driver is installed properly. If you have DisplayLink devices installed in your system, please remove the driver from Control Panel\ Programs and Features\ since these kinds of devices may influence the performance. If you have the USB to HDMI adapter connected to a USB 3.0 Hub, connect it directly to a USB 3.0 port on your computer instead. -
Why only 800×600?
This product only operates at 800×600 when it’s connected to the PC at USB 2.0 speed. Make sure the computer has a USB 3.0 port. USB 3.0 ports have an “SS” next to the USB symbol and most have blue plastic centers. If the computer does not have a USB 3.0 port, the maximum resolution will be 800×600. If the computer has USB 3.0 ports, make sure to connect the device to one of those ports. If the resolution is still 800×600, try different USB 3.0 ports -
Want to try more monitors?
This adapter needs a lot of data to keep working properly. Most computer systems can’t send enough data over USB 3.0 for two usb to hdmi adapters. This means that one or both monitors will start flickering or go completely blank. Here are some rules to give you the best chance. No Hubs! USB hubs provide more ports but can’t increase the amount of data a USB port can send. If your system has more than one USB 3.0 Host controller, connect one usb to hdmi adapter to each controller. You can also try adding an additional PCIe to USB 3.0 adapter card to your system.
