Mini DisplayPort 1.2 to 2 DisplayPort MST Hub - Dual Monitor

In this review the compact Mini DisplayPort 1.2 to dual DisplayPort MST hub is presented as a practical option for users who need to drive two displays from a single Mini DisplayPort output. The biggest reason to buy is straightforward: it lets compatible Windows and Surface devices expand desktop space or create a combined video wall without requiring multiple GPU outputs. It is not for Mac OS and will mirror rather than extend on Mac, so this review focuses on Windows and supported Surface systems where the hub delivers the most value.

Key Features

• Dual DisplayPort outputs: Connect up to two DisplayPort monitors from one Mini DisplayPort 1.2 source to increase screen real estate for multitasking or presentations.
• Multiple display modes: Switch between Mirror, Extended, or Panoramic Video Wall modes to match a workstation, kiosk, or multi-monitor layout.
• 4K and bandwidth support: Handles a true 21.6Gbps video bandwidth and supports single 4K@60Hz or dual 4K@30Hz workflows depending on connected displays and host capability.
• Audio passthrough: Supports 7.1 surround sound up to 192KHz sampling rate for setups that need multichannel audio over DisplayPort.
• Compatibility note: Works with many Windows PCs and Microsoft Surface Pro 4/5/6 models listed as supported, but does not provide MST extended mode on Mac OS.

Who It's For

Users running Windows PCs or supported Surface models who need to add two DisplayPort monitors from a single Mini DisplayPort output will get the most benefit. It is suitable for office professionals, developers, and digital signage setups that want extended desktops or a panoramic display without replacing the host machine.

Do not buy this hub if you need extended multi-monitor support on Mac OS, as Mac OS lacks MST support and will only mirror displays. Also avoid it for systems that require HDMI outputs or for older Surface models listed as unsupported.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Compact MST hub allows two DisplayPort monitors from a single Mini DisplayPort source, simplifying desk setups.
• Flexible display modes including Mirror, Extended, and Panoramic options for varied workflows.
• Decent video bandwidth and audio support for 4K and multichannel audio passthrough on compatible hosts.

Cons

• Mac OS does not support MST, so users on Mac will only get mirrored displays instead of independent outputs.
• Some customers reported mixed longevity and picture consistency, so reliability may vary by system and use.

Our Verdict

The Mini DisplayPort 1.2 to dual DisplayPort MST hub is a sensible, cost-effective tool for Windows and compatible Surface users who need to drive two monitors from one Mini DisplayPort. It offers useful display modes and good bandwidth for 4K scenarios, but Mac users should look elsewhere because MST is not supported on Mac OS. Overall it is good value if your host supports MST and you accept varied real-world reliability reports.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this work on a Mac to give two independent displays?
Answer. No. Mac OS does not support MST extended displays, so you will get mirrored displays rather than independent outputs.

Can it drive two 4K monitors?
Answer. Yes, it supports dual 4K@30Hz when the host and displays allow that bandwidth, or a single 4K@60Hz on one monitor.

Does it output HDMI?
Answer. No. The hub provides two DisplayPort outputs only and is not an HDMI splitter or adapter.
