HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop PC TG01-0000i (8BG56AV)
Microsoft Windows 11

Good morning/afternoon/evening everyone. Thank you for taking some time to read this.

I have an HP Desktop ( Model TG01-1120) that i currently have with two monitors.

I am looking for a way to hook up to a third monitor. Currently one is plugged into the only hdmi port and the other one with a HDMI to DVI port. There is actually a third HDMI port on the upper left part of the back of the desktop. This was covered by a black piece of plastic. I tried connecting it to the third monitor with a cable, but no luck.

I have tried using the following with no luck:

  • HP Dock USB-C G5. This comes with a thunderbolt usb c plug, but my desktop doesn't seem to be compatible.

  • USB 3.0 to HDMI adapters haven't worked either.

  • Direct USB to HDMI were not helpful either.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Again, thank you for your help and time.

Specs are below for reference.

  • Intel Core i5 10th Gen 10400F 2.9GHz Processor

  • NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 4GB GDDR5

  • 8GB DDR4-2666 RAM

  • 256GB Solid State Drive

  • Microsoft Windows 11 Home

  • 3-in-1 Media Card Reader

  • 10/100/1000 Network

  • 1x1 802.11ac Wi-Fi+Bluetooth Combo

The specs of your machine is

It has dedicated  NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1650 (4 GB GDDR5 dedicated) therefore iGPU is disable that why its HDMI port is covered by a black piece of plastic.

 

 >>>>> Direct USB to HDMI were not helpful either

USB to HDMI  with DisplayLink Certified should work for example

 

            USB-A to HDMI adapter

 

Regards.
