Seeking info on a good adaptor that would facilitate 2 x female vga to 1 x male hdmi

HI all,

Not sure if I am in the right place but I would love a recommendation on what product to use for the above. I have two monitors with male VGA connectors and my laptop only has one hdmi connector. Would anyone know if there be a cheap enough adaptor that I could access here in Ireland that would allow me to hook up both monitors to my laptop?

P.s. I have checked that the graphics card on my laptop and my OS Windows 10 can support 3 monitors.

Any help that you could give would be appreciated!!

MANY thanks, Valerie

You could consider doing this with two separate adaptors, HDMI to VGA and USB to VGA.

For the first monitor then HDMI to VGA

HDMI to VGA Adaptor Male to Female - Black - PSG90913

HDMI to VGA Adaptor Converter for Desktops, Laptops & Ultrabooks - 1080p Support - HD2VGAE2

These can be a little hit-and-miss with some equipment though, so try buying from somewhere with a good returns policy.

For the second monitor then you can try a USB to VGA option but it will depend on what USB ports your laptops has.

If your laptop has USB-C / Thunderbolt then another option to consider is to invest in a laptop 'dock'.

If you go for a universal one you may be able to future proof a little by being able to reuse it with a newer laptop. Docks will be more expensive and approaching the cost of a new monitor but can give you multiple display outputs, some also still have VGA.
