Hi @Cali2026,


Welcome to the HP Support Community!

Thanks for reaching out!

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.

 

Since your laptop has a single port, you have a few options to connect multiple monitors:

  1. Use a Docking Station or USB-C Hub:
    • If your laptop has a USB-C or Thunderbolt 3/4 port, you can use a compatible docking station or USB-C hub with multiple video outputs (HDMI, DisplayPort).
    • This allows you to connect both monitors simultaneously without switching cables.
  2. Use a Multi-Display Adapter (DisplayPort/HDMI Splitter):
    • Certain adapters can split a single HDMI or DisplayPort into two independent monitors.
    • Ensure that the adapter supports extended display mode, not just mirroring, if you want separate screens.
  3. Check for Wireless Display Options:
    • Some HP laptops support Miracast or wireless display connections, which can allow a second monitor to connect wirelessly.

I hope this helps.
