how to install Tripp Lite by Eaton Dual-Monitor Thunderbolt 3 to HDMI Adapter
- Identify a free Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) port on your computer where the adapter will connect. Ensure your system supports TB3 or TB4 and that your graphics driver is up to date for best compatibility.
- Plug the Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) male connector on the adapter into the TB3 port on your laptop or desktop. The plug is reversible, so you can connect it in either orientation.
- Connect two HDMI cables from your monitors to the two HDMI ports on the adapter. Use HDMI 2.0 or newer cables to maximize 4K 60 Hz performance and color fidelity.
- Power on your monitors and your computer. In most cases, the adapter will initialize automatically. If your displays do not appear, open your operating system’s display settings to detect and arrange the new displays.
- Configure your display layout in your OS: on Windows, open Display Settings and choose Extend these displays or Duplicate depending on your workflow; on macOS, go to System Preferences > Displays and arrange the positions of your monitors. You can also customize resolution and scaling to optimize clarity and productivity.
- If you encounter any issues with resolution or color, verify that both monitors support 4K at 60 Hz and that your host device’s Thunderbolt 3 controller can drive dual 4K displays. Updating graphics drivers and firmware can resolve most compatibility quirks.
Frequently asked questions
- Can the adapter drive two 4K monitors at 60 Hz each? Yes. The adapter is designed to deliver dual 4K at 60 Hz on compatible systems when connected to Thunderbolt 3 ports. Actual performance depends on your host computer’s GPU capability and the bandwidth available through the TB3 port.
- Do I need an external power adapter? In most setups, the adapter is bus-powered and does not require external power. If your system or displays demand more power, you can connect a power source to the computer or use a powered hub, but this adapter itself draws power from the TB3 connection.
- Is it compatible with both macOS and Windows? Yes. The adapter is designed for Thunderbolt 3-equipped Macs and Windows PCs. Ensure you’re running recent OS versions and up-to-date drivers for the best plug-and-play experience.
- What kind of HDMI output do I get? The device provides two HDMI outputs (HDMI 2.0), capable of delivering high-resolution video with smooth color reproduction on two separate monitors. For HDR or deep color features, check your monitors’ specifications and HDMI cable support.
- Will this work with any TB3 laptop or desktop? It works with any system that offers a compatible Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) port and supports external display outputs. Some laptops may require enabling DisplayPort MST or adjusting BIOS/firmware settings to maximize multi-monitor capability. Always consult your device’s user guide for port capabilities.
