I am trying to display my screen and sound from HP Elitebook 840 G4 to my TV. I used a USB - C to HDMI cable to connect, but the laptop showed something that said it is not recognizing it.

From manual, your machine should have following ports
- VGA (Dsub 15 pin) supporting 1920 x 1200 external resolution @ 60Hz; hot plug/unplug and auto detect
- USB 3.1 Gen 1 charging port
- USB 3.1 Gen 1 port
- USB Type-C (basic)
- DisplayPort
- RJ-45
- Docking connector
- Audio-out (headphone)/audio-in (microphone) combo jack
- AC port
As you can see, USB-C port is a Basic port which does not support USB-C to HDMI for video out. You can use DisplayPort to HDMI to connect. There are many suitable cables around, from 50cm to 500cm.
Regards.
