Dear Forum,

I am using an HP Laptop 15s-fq5040ne, and I would like to connect two 4K monitors to it. The laptop has only one HDMI output, and the USB-C port does not support external displays. I also have two USB 3.0 ports available but am unsure if USB-to-HDMI adapters would allow for 4K output. Is there a solution or adapter that can help me achieve this setup? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

You need a port replicator/dock with DisplayLink technology built in. The USB-C port can then be used to drive one or more external monitors and you can drive at least one off the HDMI port.

Thank you for your reply. I have purchased the same model you suggested, the WL-UG69PD13 Pro. I connected a second monitor to the docking station via an HDMI cable and connected the docking station to my laptop using a USB-C cable. The laptop can detect the monitor, and I can see it listed under Settings > Display, but no image appears on the monitor. It remains black. I also installed the driver for the docking station. Do you have any ideas about what might be causing the issue?

Have you adjusted the display settings to extend the desktop to the external monitor?
