A good and reliable thunderbolt to 2 hdmi ports adapter/dock?

[tdhttt]

Basically, I have two Dell S2418HN(FHD, one HDMI, one VGA) monitors and a Razer Blade 15(thunderbolt+minidisplay+HDMI). And originally I used one HDMI port and another thunderbolt port with a thunderbolt-HDMI adapter to get the 2 monitors working. However, recently, I found it a bit tiring to plug 2 cables every time I wanted to use the two monitors.

 

So I just want use one thunderbolt port, which means I am looking for thunderbolt adapters/docks to have 2 HDMI ports. Of course, I am open to other suggestions and I am curious if you guys have a good solution to multi-display setup.

 

Thanks in advance!

There seems to be several on Amazon but they aren't particularly cheap and I have no idea if this is something all thunderbolt ports allow.

Its hard to process a signal to two HDMI ports that are separate, although thunderbolt allows 2 lanes, you should use daisy-chaining of devices in order to achieve this, that is why some docks/hubs/accessories have a thunderbolt port on them, over the one they are connected to. 

 

You need to buy a HDMI connector with another thunderbolt, and then another thunderbolt to HDMI, it should work out much cheaper.

Thanks! So do you have any cheaper suggestions as you mentioned?

Thanks! I think thunderbolt 3 allows as I tried with a dock which is not consistent.
