HP Pavilion All-in-One - 23-q140t CTO
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have an older HP Pavilion 23-q140t CTO.  On the bottom front of the machine are two usb ports.  One has a Lightning bolt symbol beside it.  What does that mean?  I am trying to determine how to connect a second display/monitor.  Will this usb port work?  I already have one additional monitor connected and it uses the HDMI connection to put a Dell monitor in service.  I want to have three screens in service, the hp screen + an acer monitor + the Dell already in service.

Its specs

 

        https://support.hp.com/au-en/document/c04782377

 

It has

 

Bottom I/O:
  • 3-in-1 media card reader + 2 USB 3.0 + headphone/microphone jack
Back I/O:
  • 4 USB 2.0 + HDMI

In this case, it simply means you can charge other portable devices when it sleeps.

 

Your machine has 1 HDMI port which is HDMI out port, you should be able to use it to connect an external monitor.

 

Regards.
