Solution for adding Dual Monitors

[bksch]

Would like to hook up dual monitors (HDMI) to my laptop (ProdID - 1UG6OUA#ABL).  

The USB - C port has the lightning bolt so can I get a USB-C to HDMI adapter and hook one monitor via this and the other to the HDMI built in to the laptop?

Are there better alternatives?

Thanks, bks

Its specs

   https://support.hp.com/au-en/document/c05582720

It has

• 1 USB 3.1 Type-C™ Gen 1 (Data Transfer up to 5 Gb/s, DP1.2, HP Sleep and Charge);
• 2 USB 3.1 Gen 1 (1 HP Sleep and Charge);
• 1 HDMI v2.0a;
• 1 headphone/microphone combo

The USB-C port above does not support video out as you thought. Please try

Hello Banhien,

Thx for letting me know that.  I did not realize there were so many aspects to type c connectors.  

The page you recommended has a latge number of choices for universal docking stns.  

Can you guide me re what i need to look for when choosing from these?  Will they all meet my need for dual difplay?

Thx again

Hello,

I do not understand the answer.

My question...

1) Since it seems like I only have 1 external port capable of video out, is there any way to connect dual monitors (not duplicated or mirrored) to my laptop?

2) Do I use a docking station or something else?

Thanks, Brian

Also, as you show the specs...

• 1 USB 3.1 Type-C™ Gen 1 (Data Transfer up to 5 Gb/s, DP1.2, HP Sleep and Charge);

Doesn't teh DP1.2 mean that it support DisplayPort 1.2 and thus can be used for video out?
