Fellow friends, I made a terrible mistake. I did a ton of research and eventually ended up buying 2 X AOC 27G2 144hz monitors for use with my work laptop. I decided on the dual monitor setup because I wanted a 1080p monitor to use with a PS5 and a nice and fast dual monitor setup for work. (I love the 1440p ultrawides but the PS5 doesn’t support 1440.
My issue:
My brand new fairly okay work Asus Zenbook with Ryzen 5 and Vega 10 graphics only has one HDMI port.
I assumed the USB-C 3.2 port would support a usb-c to displayport or hdmi cable.
True story, It doesn’t. I forgot that some usb-c’s have either thunderbolt or Displayport capability.
My question: what do I do now? I know HDMI cannot daisy chain/ support two video streams through one port. So no splitter will work. (I don’t want two mirrored displays).
My USB-c doesn’t have display output, so im pretty sure those expensive usb-c hubs with hdmi will not work.
Any ideas?
I’m even open to a suggestion of a display that’s big and wide, supports PS5, even if it’s 4k.
Ps. I bought the AOC’s from Evetech so I can still return/ swop. Fortunately I realised my mistake before I opened the box.
