OMEN by HP 40L Gaming Desktop PC GT21-0000i (392G5AV)
Microsoft Windows 11

Hello, I'm totally new to the PC world, so please excuse any mistakes in my explaining. 

 

I purchased the 40L Desktop with an MSI Monitor and have had no problem with the HDMI connection, and the monitor works perfectly. After a few weeks now, I've grown accustomed to it and now want to use a dual monitor setup. However, after purchasing a second monitor (HP P22va G4) and a vertical stand I found I wasn't able to use both of the monitors because the 40L only has one HDMI port (rookie mistake I know). 

I'm looking for help finding any adapter that might fix this issue, such as a multi HDMI splitter, or any other solution that might fix the issue without having to spend too much money. Thanks for your time, I appreciate any help.

Your machine could be one of the following machine

For example:   OMEN by HP 40L GT21-0149nw

 

I don't know EXACTLY what is your machine, the above machine has  NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 with LHR (8 GB) Graphics Card. Does your machine have a video card ?  In terms of ports, the specs of the motherboard does not help much.

 

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

 

Regards.
