Is my HP Laptop able to use MST (Multi-Stream-Transport)?

[Max123W]

Hello,

Does anyone know if my HP laptop (HP Pavilion 15 eh1254 ng) supports the usage of MST (Multi-Stream-Transport) via the USB C port?

I want to connect my Laptop to a USB C hub/docking station so that I can extend my laptop screen to 2 further monitors. 

I thought about buying a hub like this:

Thank you very much!

It has a good  SuperSpeed USB Type-C® 10Gbps signaling rate (USB Power Delivery, DisplayPort™ 1.4, HP Sleep and Charge) port. I can't say it is compatible with your USB-C hub or not but I know for sure it is a good candidate for HP USB-C G5 (5TW10AA)  dock.

Hello BH,

thank you for your quick response!

On this website: https://tripplite.eaton.com/products/multi-stream-transport-mst-hub-technology

it is said that for a MST connection I will need:

• (1) Graphics card (GPU) supporting DisplayPort (1.2 or better) MST
• (2) An MST Hub
• (3) Monitors compatible with your selected Hub

(1) As you already mentioned, my computer has a SuperSpeed USB Type-C® 10Gbps signaling rate (USB Power Delivery, DisplayPort™ 1.4, HP Sleep and Charge) so therefore my Graphics card (GPU) has to be sufficient as my computer is supporting DisplayPort™ 1.4 .

Am I right? (I am not very computer/IT savvy..)

(2) Buying a fitting MST Hub shouldn't be a big problem.

(3) Both my montitors have 1 x DisplayPort 1.2 as well as 1 x HDMI 1.4. So that should not be a problem either.

Thank you very much!

Best regards
