3. Operating the Adapter

Once connected, your operating system will manage the display settings. Here's how different operating systems handle multiple displays:

3.1. Windows OS (ABC / ABB / AAA Modes)

Windows operating systems support various display modes, including:

• Extend Mode (ABC): Your laptop screen (A) and two external monitors (B and C) can display different content, extending your desktop across three screens. This is also known as Multi-Stream Transport (MST).
• Duplicate Mode (ABB or AAA):
  • ABB: Your laptop screen (A) displays one content, while both external monitors (B and B) duplicate each other's content.
  • AAA: All three screens (laptop and two external monitors) display the same content.

Image 3.1: This image illustrates the display modes supported by Windows and Mac OS. Windows supports triple screens and duplicate display (AAA, ABB, or ABC), allowing for extended desktops. Mac OS only supports extend mode or mirror mode (ABB or AAA), meaning both external monitors will display the same content or mirror the primary display.

3.2. macOS / iPadOS / ChromeOS (ABB / AAA Modes)

Due to operating system limitations, Mac, iPad, and ChromeOS devices will display the same content on both external monitors when using this adapter. This means:

• Extend Mode (ABB): Your laptop screen (A) can display different content from the two external monitors (B and B), which will mirror each other.
• Mirror Mode (AAA): All three screens (laptop and two external monitors) will display the same content.

It is not possible to have three independent displays (ABC) on macOS, iPadOS, or ChromeOS with this adapter.

3.3. Resolution and Cable Requirements

To achieve optimal resolution, especially 4K at 60Hz for single display or 4K at 30Hz for dual displays, ensure you use high-quality HDMI 2.0 (or higher) cables. Lower quality or older HDMI cables may limit the resolution or refresh rate.

4. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your LENTION USB C to Dual HDMI Adapter, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the adapter. Avoid using liquid cleaners or aerosols, as they may damage the device.
• Storage: When not in use, store the adapter in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Handling: Avoid bending or twisting the cable excessively. Do not drop the adapter or subject it to strong impacts. The cable sink design helps protect the cable from accidental damage.
