HP ZBook Firefly 14 inch G8 Mobile Workstation PC (275W1AV)

I have the HP ZBook Firefly 14 G8 with T500 graphics.

 

Does this machine support an ultrawide monitor at 5120x1440?

If I need a dock such as the HP G5 let it be so. I just need confirmation that I can get that resolution before buying the monitor.

 

Bonus if I can run an extra monitor at 2560x1440 as well.

Hello.

 

The resolution itself is not a problem, 5120x1440 demands less bandwidth than 3840x2160 (4K).

 

Your laptop has HDMI 2.0 port, and a USB-C port which has DisplayPort 1.4 capability. Both can drive such displays simultaneously. So you don't have to buy a dock.

 

Things get more complicated if you are going for e.g. Samsung Odyssey G9 display with 240Hz refresh rate and 10BPC color depth - HDMI 2.0 dcapabilities don't stretch that far but the DisplayPort 1.4 would still be fine.
