1. Option 1: Two Full Functioned USB-C or Thunderbolt 3/4 Ports

   If your laptop has 2 full function USB-C ports (USB 4.0, Thunderbolt 3/4, DP 1.2/1.4/2.1), you can connect each extender monitor with a USB C to C cable. Only one cable is needed to connect each extended monitor.

   If your laptop has 1 full function USB-C port and a USB A + HDMI port combination, you can connect the 1st extended monitor with a USB C to C cable. The 2nd extended monitor requires a USB A to C cable (for power supply) and an HDMI to Mini HDMI cable (for video signal). Please remember to use a USB-A port or external adapter to power the monitor; otherwise, it will display a black screen.
