HP Pavilion Desktop PC TP01-2000a (2Z6C8AV)
Microsoft Windows 11

I have recently bought an HP Pavillion Desktop PC TP01-2000a with Windows 11 and have installed all available updates installed. I want to connect 2 x HP 27fw monitors (no sound output). 

 

As the PC only has one HDMI port and 1 VGA port, so I tried:

 

  1. Connecting one screen via HDMI and the other via an Advent HDMI to VGA cable converter, but this didn't work
  2. Connecting both screens with a Selore USB-C 9-in-1 hub but neither screen was detected. On further investigation I have found out that this hub is compatible with Windows 10 by not Windows 11 so will return it

I have confirmed that both screens work on a different system and both screens work individually on this new system.

 

Please can you advise how I can both my screen.

 

Many thanks and kind regards

 

Lynn

I decided to try connecting the second screen via the VGA port and bought a brand new cable to do this. It worked, so I'm marking this question as resolved.

hi

this one ?

 HP Pavilion Desktop TP01-2000a PC Product Specifications

 Using USB Type-C to Transfer Power and Data

as you have seen using a usb adapter is not easy..
I could not recommend a device, untested ...
Unfortunately the power supply is only 180w, but you can try a graphics card, not very powerful, with the video outputs you need!
it could be a small advantage..

It's this PC.

 

I'm really not happy to replace the graphics card in a brand new system.

 

Is there any alternative solution?

 

Kind regards

it s better

Power Supply Type
310 W Gold efficiency power supply

I understand your point of view, but it is not a replacement, since you do not have a graphics card, it is an addition

So apart from wasting time, money, in various tests with usb adapters, this is the best option I can offer you, the computer will work much better with a graphics card, it's up to you

Thank you for your suggestion. I probably should have described what the system is being used for - studying and working from home. I don't do photo editing, gaming or streaming videos on the PC, so I really don't feel I need a separate graphics card. 

 

Kind regards

No problem, I'm not forcing you to anything.
so see if the link can help you..
I'm not going to give you links of different models because it might not be better than what you've already tried

No worries, but at least indicate the model you purchased
The VGA adapter problem is common, if not the right one it does not work..
So you could make people happy..

I bought this:

 

VGA to VGA Cable, Benfei VGA to VGA 1.8m Cable with Ferrites from Amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07JHC68YK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

Such a simple solution that worked for me.

"" Connecting one screen via HDMI and the other via an Advent HDMI to VGA cable converter, but this didn't work ""

oh I'm confused, I hadn't checked, and understood that you had the possibility to connect a VGA..

"I bought this: VGA to VGA Cable, "


I thought you wanted an HDMI adapter only ?
