I recently purchased the HP ENVY - 15t Touch product X6W16AV. I have been unable to find a docking station that I can use to utliize my two screen set up in my home office. Does anyone have a suggestion on a docking station that I can use?
or do I even need one to take advantage of my two desk top monitors.
Sorry, I am not the familiar with all the tech stuff. Hoping to learn. Thanks for any help!

They don't make traditional snap down docks for HP consumer notebooks (Pavilion and Envy) any more. You have an HDMI port which will allow connection of one additional monitor. You also have a USB-C port but it is for data only not a monitor. So if you want to use 2 monitors you have to use a USB 3.0 (older connector) port replicator with a video port.
Something like that:
You can set that up as a static docking station but it will not power the laptop. I suggest a spare AC adapter to be kept where you have this port replicator and then when you bring the laptop to it connect power, usb and HDMI and have your keyboard mouse speakers (usb sound card) hooked up to this at your workstation.
You likely will not get 3 displays working so you have to set the laptop to do nothing when you close the lid, then close the lid and just use your pair of monitors. This pretty well describes the setup I am working from right now, except I have an HP laptop that has a USB-C port that will drive video and it is a mobile workstation so I am using an HP "Thunderbolt" dock that does power the laptop.
Post back with any questions. Please Accept as Solution if it is the Answer you needed.

This might be a similar issue, but I recently purchased a HP - 15t Laptop PC and a HP USB-C Dock G5 docking station and was not getting any display either. I imagined that the docking station was the issue, so I'm returning it. Is there an HP docking station that will display two monitors on this specific laptop? If not, what docking station would? I followed your amazon.com link and that docking station is currently unavailable.
Would something like this also work?:
Ports on the laptop include 1 HDMI port, and 2 USB ports.
Thank you!
