DOES THIS LAPTOP SUPPORT USB-A TO HDMI CONNECTION - 

 

I have seen other forums regarding connecting multiple displays, looks like I can not do it with a Hdmi to Dual HDMI adapter, or a Type C to Dual HDMI.

I have seen other forums with replies saying a Display Link certified USB-A to hdmi would work.

Trying to make sure for this particular model that is correct.

Display 1 - Hdmi Port 

Display 2 - Usb-A to HDMI

So 3 indepentent screens, the laptop, and 2 external monitors.

If the dual HDMI adapter is a splitter that will not work -- as all it does is send the same video signal to two jacks.  You need a separate signal for each monitor, which means each one needs its own cable from the laptop.

Yes the Hdmi splitter or usb c to dual hdmi does not work with this laptop.

 

I am trying to verify if this laptop supports a USB-A to HDMI adapter.

 

I know based on the specs that usb c does not support sending video.

 

So based on other forums I have seen it looks like they do -

Monitor 1 - Hdmi out 

Monitor 2 - USB-A to HDMI

 

I need to know if this particular laptop supports USB-A to HDMI.

Sorry, I don't know.  When I have done this with a desktop, I had to go through several USB-to-HDMI adapters before I found one that actually worked.  You could try another brand or model adapter.

Ok thanks,

There is a particular HP employee that has answered similar questions and where I got the information about USB A to hdmi, his username is - Banhien

I am hoping he sees this and replies.

Same experience as mine -- but I had to go through three adapters before I found one that worked.

 

Good to see it is working now.
