I need an advice from the monitor experts. What I have is a laptop with
- intel HD 520
- one HDMI port
- 2 USB 3.0 ports
- 1 USB type C (3.0) port
I am trying to setup two monitors, one monitor is newer and has DVI/displayport, the other VGA, and I think VGA. I looked into usb-c to DVI/display port adapter but it's unclear if they can drive two monitors. I would like the most flexible setup that I can use in the future if I change monitors. For example if I endup having two monitors with DVI/displayport.
- is there a usb 3.0 (type c preferred) that allows to connect two monitors in EXTENDED mode and costs max $35/30EURO? Would it be better to get a regular USB or type c adapter? I am wondering if type c will become the standard for new PC laptops.
- should I just buy two separate adapters? A usb to dvi/vga/dp and an hdmi to dvi/vga/dp?
