Hi,

 

there is already an unanswered question (https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Hardware-and-Upgrade-Questions/Can-the-HP-250-G8-use-the-HP-U...) about connecting a second screen with the mentioned dock station.

 

Is it possible to use the usb c for connecting a 250 G8 to a screen? Which tool an be used ?

Thanks

Rainer

The USB-C will not directly drive an external monitor. It is for data transfer only so carries no video signal on it. You would have to use a dock/port replicator with DisplayLink technology to attach external monitors through the USB-C or USB 3.0 ports.

Hi Huffer,

 

I know that this isn't possible directly. What I wanted to know if you have a specific tool to recommend that works with the 250 G8.

 

Thanks

Rainer

The solution goes definitely through an adapter,  I haven't tried the proposed one yet. I'll keep you updated.

I've tried an HP Dock G5. But without success. I'll be testing an HP Dock G2 for the next few days

Hi Rainer, only the HP USB-C / A Universal Docking Station G2 works on the HP 250 G8. I was able to test this successfully. The HP G5 docking station does not work with the model. There are also some models from i-tec that work with the notebook.

 

Best Regards

Torsten
