I am trying to connect 2 Samsung displays to my laptop using an HDMI splitter. However, the system is detecting only 1 external display and displays the same thing on both monitors. Do I need to connect one of the displays via the USB-C port instead?

Your machine could be one of the following machines

 

            https://support.hp.com/ca-en/product/hp-laptop-pc-15-dy2000/35900328/model/38752859/product-info

 

For example   HP Laptop 15-dy2093dx  which shows It ONLY has 1 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), you can use

 

Monitor 1: HDMI direct cable

Monitor 2: Using a Displaylink Certified USB-A to HDMI adapter such as
