Hi, it seems that my Acer Aspire 7 cannot output video over its USB-C 3.1 Gen 1 port as it doesn't provide HDMI alternate port. I'm already using the laptop's HDMI port for an external display, however I would like to use an additional monitor (two external monitors in total) in extended mode. Thus, I'm planning on buying USB to HDMI adapter to use the USB 3.0 port as a video output. Could someone help me decide whether such solutions works and if so, which cable should I choose: 1. £30+ option from Wavlink: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wavlink-Adapter-External-Supports-Resolution/dp/B076SX73LY/ref=sr_1_7?keywords=displaylink&qid=1572626200&sr=8-7 2. £15 option: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Adapter-Graphics-Converter-Compatible-Windows-black/dp/B076J3VKMJ/ref=sr_1_21?keywords=displaylink&qid=1572626200&sr=8-21 Is there any difference in the performance of those cables (which would explain the price difference)? The monitor I'm interested in is ASUS VZ249HE.

Hi, I've been using Acer Aspire 7 laptop with Asus VZ249HE external monitor for a year using an HDMI connection. I'm thinking of upgrading my setup to include another, preferably identical, monitor. This brings following questions: 1. Would I be able to use my laptop's USB-C 3.1 Gen 1 port to connect to the HDMI port of the new monitor? 2. If not, would it be possible with any other monitor? 3. Is it safe to assume that I would just need a USB-C to HDMI cable in above cases? 4. Would the GTX 1050 Ti GPU be powerful enough to run both the external monitors and possibly the laptop's monitor at the same time? All of them are 1920x1080 60 Hz and I mean office/coding workload or potentially gaming on one of the monitors. All the specification and links to mentioned hardware: a) Acer Aspire 7: https://www.acer.com/datasheets/2018/4876/A715-72G/NH.GXCEP.013.html b) Asus VZ249HE: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07281PZWK/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&psc=1 c) potential USB-C to HDMI cable: https://www.amazon.co.uk/CHOETECH-Thunderbolt-Compatible-MacBook-ChromeBookl-Gold/dp/B01M02FLYO/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=usb+c+to+hdmi&qid=1572390307&sr=8-3 Thanks in advance for any help to my rather lengthy question!
