Hi, I have a HP 255 G8 notebook.

I have two big dell monitors.

I want to extend to those two screens so I have 3 screens

 

What docking station/leads do I need?

 

I bought the Magbac DS-PO5S (USB C) from amazon but it doesn't recognise the screens when I connect.

Its specs

It ONLY has 1 USB Type-C 3.2 Gen 1 (data transfer only) 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, you can use

 

M1: HDMI direct cable

M2: Using a Displaylink Certified USB to HDMI adapter such as

For more connectivity, please try

 

                 True Universal Docking Stations

 

Regards.
