HP Pavilion Desktop TP01-2244

Need to add 2nd monitor but it only has one HDMI port.  There are 3 other ports (port-port-HDMI-port) but I don't know what they are.  I have spent 3 hours rummaging through documentation and can't figure out what kind of plug I need.

Thank you

I can't find a picture of the GFX NVIDIA GeForce RTX3050 6GB GDDR6 graphics card your PC comes with, but the other two ports are display port outputs.

You can buy a display port to HDMI cable or Display port to DVI cable depending on the inputs the second monitor you need to connect to your PC comes with.

If the monitor has a display port input, then you just need a display port cable.

I have a HP monitor that has a display port input, a DVI input and a VGA input.

Here's a RTX3050 that comes with two HDMI ports and one display port.

The display port is the device above the two HDMI ports.

Thank you!    Now that I know what I am dealing with I'll be buying new connectors or cables today.   The specs for the computer said it can handle up to 4 monitors.    Yeah!

You're very welcome.
