My laptop only has USB-C and USB 2.0. No USB 3.0 or built-in HDMI/VGA ports (I wish). I have been unsuccessful connecting to my monitor using USB-C - it detects the monitor but it doesn’t actually show a display. I tried messing around with updating the drivers etc but to no avail.
Does pluggable have an adapter that will help me? I can provide my software/driver information if that would be more helpful. I am located overseas so it’s not so simple to purchase it and send it back if it doesn’t work - that is why I am asking before purchasing it.
The monitor is recognized by the computer, and it indicates that it is extending the display, but it doesn’t display anything on the monitor itself. It also causes the display on my laptop itself to flash. I tried messing with some of the settings but to no avail.
Could you send me the links for the products you are specifically referring to? There are a lot of different options and I want to get the right one.
Also, is there any technical reason to believe that these adapter options would work better than the one that I purchased, which is currently not working?

We’ve seen some adapters work and others cause issues, similar to the one you’re seeing.
For the most part, these adapters use the same technology. However, we’ve seen different manufacturers’ products can lead to incompatibility or inconsistency with your displays.
I hope I was able to answer your questions.
