HP 17.3 inch Laptop PC 17-c0000 (2W0J5AV)
Microsoft Windows 11

I am trying to connect 2 external monitors to my laptop and am running into some issues. I can hook up one monitor to the HDMI easily but when I try and use a docking station to get an extra HDMI port,  I can't even get the docking station it to work. Which leads me to wonder, does my USB C port even allow for audio/visual output? It is specifically a  SuperSpeed USB Type-C® 5Gbps.

What is your HP 17.3 inch Laptop PC 17-c0000 (2W0J5AV)  ? You say it ONLY has 1  SuperSpeed USB Type-C® 5Gbps 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 (some hubs may have builtin chip to support this)

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

                                     USB to HDMI Adapter


For more connectivity, please use


                         True Universal Docking Stations

 

Regards.
