UGREEN USB 3.0 to HDMI + VGA Converter, Dual-Display Output

UGREEN USB 3.0 to HDMI + VGA Converter, Dual-Display Output

Product Description

The UGREEN CM449 (part no. 20518) adds an HDMI port and a VGA port to any computer through a single USB 3.0 Type-A socket, giving a laptop or desktop with no spare video output an extra 1080p@60Hz display. It is a USB graphics adapter rather than a passive converter, so it works even on machines whose own video ports are already in use, and it supports both mirroring and an extended desktop. A practical upgrade for office PCs and ultrabooks that need a second monitor or a projector feed.

A laptop with HDMI, DisplayPort or USB-C will not plug straight into a monitor or projector that only has VGA or HDMI. The UGREEN CM449 video adapter bridges the two ports so you can use the screen you already have. It is made for people whose laptop and display do not share the same video port.

Key Features and Benefits

• Two outputs: Outputs to both HDMI and VGA displays.
• Practical bridge between ports: Keeps older projectors and monitors useful when the laptop has moved on.
• Second screen over USB: turn a USB 3.0 port into a display output when HDMI and VGA on the computer are taken or missing.
• HDMI and VGA outputs: connect either a modern monitor or an older VGA projector; both can show the same image at once.
• Full HD 1080p@60Hz: sharp text for spreadsheets and documents on the extra monitor.
• Mirror or extend: duplicate the laptop for a presentation or extend the desktop for more working space.
• Aluminium alloy shell: sheds the heat a USB graphics chip generates during long sessions.

Made for Life in Nairobi and Across Kenya

Connect a new laptop to the older VGA projector in a boardroom, school hall or church, or plug a laptop into a monitor that only accepts one type of input.

Buying and Setup Tips

• Check the direction: a converter goes from the source port to the display port, and it does not work in reverse in most cases.
• Confirm which ports your laptop and display have before buying.
• If sound is needed, check whether the converter carries audio, and plan a separate audio route if it does not.
• USB display adapters rely on a driver on the host.
• Retailer listings consistently cover Windows; support for macOS is not confirmed for this model, so Mac owners should prefer a USB-C video adapter instead.
• Expect a USB 2.0 port to work at reduced performance.

Who It's Perfect For

• Offices and schools with older projectors
• Laptop users meeting a different port at every venue
• Technicians and IT support
• Anyone reusing an older monitor

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it carry sound?
If audio is not listed for this model, plan a separate audio connection.

Can I use it in reverse?
Most converters work in one direction only. Match the connector on your source device to the input side of the converter.

Can I run a third monitor on a laptop that already has HDMI in use?
Yes. The CM449 creates an additional display over USB 3.0, independent of the laptop's own video port, so you can extend to a third screen.

Will HDMI and VGA show different content at the same time?
No. When both are connected they carry the same image. The extra display you add is one screen, available on either connector.

Is it good for video or gaming?
It is designed for office work: documents, browsers and presentations. Full-screen video plays, but a USB graphics adapter is not a substitute for a real graphics output for gaming.
