Product: HP Pavilion 15.6 inch Gaming Laptop PC 15-ec2000 (2P6B5AV)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

Hello, I have an HP laptop, model Hp pavilion 15-ec2000(2P6B5AV)  I am trying to connect two monitors to my laptop. I successfully connected one monitor, but when I connect the second one, there is no display. I am unsure which ports on my laptop support video output, including whether the USB-C port supports video. Could you please help me figure out if it is possible to connect two monitors to my laptop at the same time and which ports I should use?

What is tour 15-ec2000(2P6B5AV)  machine ? It should have same ports as one of the following over 50 machines

 

                  https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/product-specs/hp-pavilion-15.6-inch-gaming-laptop-pc-15-ec2000/...

 

For example:            HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop 15-ec2156ng

 

It ONLY has 1 hopeless SuperSpeed USB Type-C® 5Gbps signaling rate port which does NOT support Alt mode nor Power Delivery. You can NOT use it to

  • Charge your machine,
  • Connect to an external monitor with/without hub/dock/adapter

If you wish to connect 2 external monitors (only-total 3), you can use

  • Monitor 1: HDMI direct cable,
  • Monitor 2: Using a Displaylink Certified USB-A to HDMI adapter such as

                                     USB to HDMI Adapter

 

Other option (USB-A dock) :   https://support.hp.com/au-en/document/c05357751

HP Pavilion 15.6 inch Gaming Laptop

PC 15-ec2000 (2P6B5AV)

product:

4G8T6EA

serial:

5CD1265DT5

Did I understand this correctly? I'm asking to clarify. Does a USB-A output support video, and using one HDMI and one USB-A output, can I open and use two independent windows (tabs) on two screens by selecting the "extend screen" option?

I did say above you can use USB-A to HDMI but the adapter MUST be Displaylink Certified . Yes 2 independent monitors.

Why is it necessary for it to be DisplayLink certified? Wouldn't an ordinary USB 3.0 to HDMI cable be sufficient?

This Is it possible to operate 2 monitors independently of each other using only this?

No, it won't work as 2 independent displays, DisplayLink is a chip inside adapter.
