Product: HP Omen 15-ax256nr
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I want to connect 2 monitors to the new OMEN 15.6" laptop. My laptop has the NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1050 Ti 4GB graphics card installed.

 

I only have one HDMI port, and two USB 3.1's, however, the specs on the hp website says that the USB's are only for data transfer. How can I make it so I can use two external monitors under the extended display settings? Thank you!

 

Many thanks,

 

Seth.

Its specs

 

   https://support.hp.com/au-en/document/c05468577

 

which shows it has

 

     2 USB 3.1 Gen 1 (Data Transfer Only) ports

 

that means they are useless for video out w/o a proper adapter. If you wish to have 2 or more external monitors, please enter your requirement on the following link and it will find for you few options on market today including some HP products:
