the monitors are viewsonic VS 13780. has DVI and VGA.

he ordered 2 monitors at same time. he's currently using one monitor at the moment by using a HMDI-DVI cable.

would USB 3.1 type C display port adapter like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Adapter-MO...displayport+dual+screen&qid=1592318707&sr=8-6

sorry OCUk for posting this as i cant find anything like this on OCUk site. hope its ok.

thanks

Is usb C same as thunderbolt 3?

Seen some on Amazon for usb C to VGA adapter but they listed them as thunderbolt 3.
