Hi. I have a 2 year old (2022) HP laptop 15s-fq2050TU and I am trying to connect two monitors as well as use the laptop screen. I only managed to get "one" monitor working using the only HDMI input avaiable on the laptop.
Other options I have tried and "failed" with..
- Attemptiong to use a Lenovo universal docking station connected via the USB-C input - hooking up two monitors to back of docking station with HDMI cables
- Connecting the first monitor with HDMI cable (this one works). However, as there is no second HDMI input, I tried to connect the second monitor into the USB-C input of laptop via a (Consol 8k) HDMI to USB-C adapter
Any suggestions?
