Does Vastro 3590 support usb3.0 to HDMI adapter for dual monitor use?
Hi,
I have a Vastro 5590 and I use an HDMI port to connect the monitor.
I am trying to see if I can use USB3.0 to HDMI adapter to connect 2 monitors with extended mode.
Does this work? supported?
Thanks in advance

You need to make sure it's a displaylink adapter -- not an inexpensive port converter. Example:

You've listed two different models with different capabilities.
On the 5590, the USB-C port on the 5590 does support displayport output. The other usb ports do not, at least not natively. You'd need a displylink adapter - not just a USB to HDMI adapter.;
On the 3590, none of the USB ports natively support video output.

My apologies, it is Vastro 3590 (no 5590) , I mistyped it.
3590 has 1 3.0 port, hence I thought to use USB to HDMI adapter to connect to the second display
Really thanks a lot for your help.
