HP Z27n G2 display connection to HP Envy15 (Touch Smart) through USB C problem

[leohartadi]

Hi there,

is it possible to connect Z27n G2 display to Envy15 through USB C? I use the provided HP USB A - USB C cable but the connection status still Inactive. The good news is there is no problem when using HDMI connection.

However, I have another monitor which only has HDMI connection and I want to use together with Z27n  (total 3 displays including the laptop display). So I hope I can connect the Z27n through USB C.

Appreciate if anyone can provide answer and/or solution.

Cheers!

You need a docking station of a hub to be able to connect to another monitor.  If you wish to have 2 or more external monitors (and notebook monitor - total 3), please enter your requirement on the following link and it will find for you few USB-A DisplayLink Certified options on market today including some HP products (you can select HP before Search)
