You must use an active USB-to-HDMI or -DisplayPort or -VGA video signal converter for data only USB ports that don;t natively support alternate mode video output.. Other Acer users have reported the following USB-to-Video signal converters and docks work. The main drawback is that frame or refresh rates are less than 30Hz so unsuitable if you work on games or game while you work. 🙂

Acer aspire v3-372 Dual Monitor hat are the options do I have.
Hello,
I have a Acer aspire v3-372. I know it's an old model but still in working condition. Recently started working from home so i need 2 monitor setup now. But I did some research online and also some suppliers told me it's not possible for me to use my USB C out to connect to a HDMI adapter because USB port and USB C port dont have video out itseems.
Is this accurate? This means what are the options do I have.
I cannot just use a HDMI splitter because splitters will only mirror the display and it won't extend the display right?
Can someone suggest any other ideas please?
Thanks
KEv

>>>Active USB to VGA adapter>>>
Thanks for reporting back. Does it also have a VGA form factor socket or a HDMI-to-VGA form factor adapter ? I see only two HDMI output sockets?

Hi. No, it does not have a VGA form. It comes with 2 HDMI output sockets only. The connector comes with a USB A input and a USB A to C converter which is pretty cool :) Right now, I'm connected to my laptops USB C port and it's working great.
Thanks so much for pointing me in the correct direction.
