Hi there,
Before I'll describe my problem regarding connecting a monitor to my laptop, here's some info:
- My laptop: HP Pavilion - 15-ec1170nd
- Available relevant external ports (from HP product page): 
- Purchased monitor: Samsung LF24T400FHUXEN - Full HD IPS Monitor
- Purchased USB-c to HDMI adapter: Sitecom CN-379 adapter
So, since the built-in HDMI-port (no idea how to say this properly in English) in my laptop is already in use, I want to connect my Samsung monitor to my laptop via the Sitecom USB-c to HDMI adapter. I checked if both the monitor and adapter work, and they do:
- The Samsung monitor is working fine when connected via the 'built-in HDMI-port'
- The Sitecom adapter is recognized by the laptop, since my keyboard and wireless mouse work fine through the adapter.
I figured my laptop should be able to recognize my Samsung monitor via the USB-c adapter, however, it does not.
I don't understand why it's not working. Laptop's got the external port(s) to do the trick, so... what now? I'd appreciate any advice! Thank you in advance.
