This way, you should be able to enable high-resolution multi-screen setups easier

All computers have HDMI and DVI ports, but maybe you need a second or third display in order to multitask properly. And maybe your monitors don't have DisplayPort support, so the DP output that desktops/notebooks also tend to possess will be useless.

Cue the USB 3.0 to 4K adapter that Club 3D just released. It allows an HDMI or DVI display to receive video from the computer's USB 3.0 connector.

The company did this before with USB 2.0 to DVI/HDMI converters, but the USB 2.0 interface isn't fast enough to transmit 4K / UHD media (3840 x 2160 pixels).

So Club 3D went ahead and made a USB 3.0 to UHD adapter (Club 3D USB 3.0 to 4K Graphics Adapter CSV-2302), although the DisplayPort standard is used here instead of the other two. Fortunately, all 4K monitors and TVs have at least one of those, so no worries.

HDCP 2.0 protocols are supported, allowing the playback of protected video files. Also, QHD (2560 x 1440), Full HD (1920 x 1080) and HD monitors (1366 x 768) are still supported.

The refresh rate at 3840 x 2160 UHD/4K quality is of 30 Hz, which is the minimum, more or less, needed to make sure movies, and other recordings in general, flow properly.
