Hi,

I hope you're all well.

i have an Elitebook 840 G3 which I am trying to connect to a HP EliteDisplay E223d  FHD USB-C Docking Monitor.

The Elitebook has DisplayPort and VGA monitor connections ; the monitor has HDMI and Displayport over USB C.

 

I have tried a VGA/USB C convertor with no luck.

 

Can these two be connected?

 

Thanks

Update on this.

 

The background to this is where I work we are being issued with these monitors but the laptops don't have the matching connections.  As bi-directional DP to DP over USB c connections are relatively new they are few and far between.

In the end I have found two  (Startech support was great)

Or

FYI The monitor reports an unqualified cable message but you can switch of the OSD message on the monitor menu

 

It's a shame HP don't supply these.
