Dula monitor connection
Hi
I have a Inspiron 15 3501 (I223JBL) and I am trying to connect 2 monitors to it.
One of the monitors has a hdmi cable and the other a VGA cable.
I have bought a USB3.0 to HDMI and VGA adapter but its not working.
Are you able to advise what my options are to be able to connect the two monitors. I need to work on both screens independently (excel on one screen and accounting software on the other). It is not necessary form me to work on the third screen (laptop).
I live in Australia and the stores I have gone to are unable to assist.
Thankyou in advance
Rob

A USB 3.0 adapter would need to support displaylink (not all do; price is one indicator, as a cheap sub-$20 adapter won't) -- these are generally in the $70 and up range.
The system itself has no capability to output video over USB, which is why the displaylink support is needed.
