HP ProBook 430 G4 USB C dock/displayport

[JamesEdmondsAsp]

Hi,

I understand USB C display port alt mode is what allows a monitor to connect directly to a USB C port via USB C cable.

Whilst the ProBook 430 G4 does not seem to support this on its USB C port, I wonder if anyone can confirm if I can still connect a USB C dock with displayport ports to this USB C port and have them work?

The dock we'd look to use would be a Dell WD19.

Many thanks.

James

Looks like it only has a Basic USB-C port which does NOT support Alt mode nor Power Delivery. I can't find it on the list of compatible docks

Thanks.

Not surprised to not see a Dell dock on an HP compat list 😂

I think we'll just give it a go and see what happens.

Thanks

I am sure the USB C port works with normal USB C docks, however the Dell WD19 does not seem to work AT ALL.

By this, I mean no USB PD, no USB port hub, no video out.

Many thanks.
