Hello everyone! I faced with a trouble related to connecting two monitors to my laptop. I have two monitors: HP Z24 and Samsung. For connecting I buy "usb-c => hdmi" cable and I try to connect both of the monitors at the same time. But it isn`t working. Each of cable is new and each of it is working. I tried to connect hdmi->hdmi to hp monitor, and it is working. I tried to connect hdmi->hdmi to samsung and it`s working as well. I tried to connect usb-c->hdmi to hp and samsung and it working with each of them. But when I tried to connect both of usb-c and hdmi ports , work only monitor connected through the hdmi. Other one just show no signal on screen and even my laptop don`t see that this port is using. I wonder if someone can help me with understanding which is a correct way to set up two external monitor with laptop. I hope this laptop is accept connecting of two external monitor and I have no need to buy a docking station. If there no way to connect two monitors then What a cheapest docking station can help to solve my problem?

You will have 2 FHD monitors + notebook screen with 3 different contents. I bought it for A$70.

@banhien Thank you for the fast answer and for the suggestion of cheap docking station. May be you know about this model of laptop a little bit more than me? Now I read so many forums and different articles from Google and still can't understand is it possible to connect laptop with two external displays without dock station or not? I just want to keep my table without any additional gadgets. Only laptop and two displays. Could it be possible to connect with any kind of small adapter cable? I just trying to understand is it related to my OS (It is Ubuntu 20.04)  or to laptop at all. Now I am trying to connect with something like this

And it is working if I am using only this cable, but if I try to use simple HDMI as well it seems like it ignore usb-c and working only with HDMI. This problem make me really crazy, because I didn't understand the reason. Can it be related to my Linux OS or laptop can't use both ports at the same time? Is there any other adapters like in picture  that will work for this situation or it is impossible to slove with such compact solution?
