hp u28 4k hdr monitor support daisy chain?

Hi,

Yes they do as they have DP out through the USB-C

Take a look at this HP doc where the specific monitor is also mentioned (number 5)

Hope it helps,

What is the maximum number of monitors that can be connected in this way?

And are all screens maintained at 4K \ 60Hz quality?

OK.

I have not forgotten.

Looking at this a bit further, there is some misleading info out there and I am trying to get a better understanding.

In my opinion, it would be difficult to use the U28 in a daisy chain setup.

At first, my answer was yes because of the info provided by HP.

If we look in the doc I linked above under "Best Monitors for daisy-chaining" we see the U28 4K and in specs is stated

2 x USB-C ...

However if we look at the actual ports on the monitor there is only one USB-C port.

and the manual only mentions one USB-C port

so I do not see how you could daisy chain the monitor. But I shall ask.

Now about how many monitors (in general) you can connect depends on the PC and the resolution of the monitors. So a normal notebook with a USB-C alt mode  DP 1.2 would be able to connect one monitor at that resolution (4K) and refresh rate (60Hz).
