Two monitors to HP ZBook 17 F0V57ET (thunderbolt and displayport)

[MartijnVanZ]

Dear Hp,

Recently i've bought a HP ZBook 17 F0V57ET wich is awesome for my work, study and home use!

But i am missing something credential wich is, i would like to connect 2 left over 19" DVI-D monitors to my ZBook. I've thought that it would be possible to connect one by using the Displayport connector (displayport -> DVI cable) and the other by the thunderbolt connector (thunderbolt -> DVI cable)

But from my knowledge some grafics cards have the digital video out connectors (ex. displayport, HDMI, mini displayport) directly attached to each other and are only capable of displaying one monitor at the time.

So before i buy the cable's and 2 wall-monitor-mounts i would really like to know if this is possible.

Hope to hear soon!

Thanks!

Problem solved! It was indeed possible! ive got a hdmi to thunderbolt (mini displayport) adapter and a displayport to hdmi adapter. Works like a charm!
