Trying to determine if DP Alt mode supported via the USB C port, want to attach external port replicator via USB-C & then attach dual monitors. Specs on HP website are vague?

One of the main draws for USB-C, as well as one of the main sources of confusion, is its Alt Mode capability. As described above, Alt Mode allows USB-C ports to transfer data/video via multiple interfaces, including the increasingly popular DisplayPort video interface. USB-C ports capable of transferring DisplayPort signals are either called USB-C DisplayPort or DP Alt Mode. They allow you to connect video sources (e.g. PCs, Blu-Ray players, etc.) and display devices (e.g. TVs, projectors, etc.) that support DisplayPort to each other via their USB-C ports to broadcast high-definition video.

 

The confusion over USB-C DisplayPort arises because not all USB-C ports feature DisplayPort Alt Mode functionality (as explained in the previous section) and because of the lack of clarity many brands provide over the level of support their USB-C products have with regards to DisplayPort functionality. As a consequence, a lot of users with devices that feature USB-C ports are entirely unaware of whether or not those ports support DisplayPort over USB-C. The key for these users is to understand how to identify whether their USB-C device supports DisplayPort over USB-C.

 

Given the confusion over USB-C DisplayPort, the next logical question is “How do I know if my device supports DisplayPort over USB-C?”. There is currently no standard way to identify a USB-C DisplayPort directly on the device, and some brands don’t even bother printing the DisplayPort logo on the ports that support it for their products. The best method to decipher whether your device supports DisplayPort over USB-C is to check either the product specs on the manufacturer’s official website or to check websites with in-depth product reviews and/or information. Within those sites, you’ll be able to find detailed breakdowns of each port on the device.
