HI

I have a new HP laptop and bought the HP USB-C Dock G5-11 in 1 Adapter to connect two monitors.

The monitors have hdmi and vga and the thunderbolt has display ports.

What do i need to purchase to connect the hdmi monitors to the thunderbolt?

Hi:

 

You need a display port to HDMI cable.  Something like this:

You're very welcome.

 

Then you will have to find a cable that looks like that which does.

 

Although, this is the only information I see regarding the compatibility:

 

  • CONNECTIVITY: Unidirectional passive cable, connects DisplayPort-enabled computer to an HDMI display. Supports Dual-Mode DisplayPort (DP++). Does not support LVDS signal sources such as audio/video players; NOT compatible with a USB port

This one for example indicates 'universal compatibility:'

  • [Universal Compatibility, Limitless Possibilities] This DP to HDMI cable seamlessly connects desktop PCs, laptops, GPUs (AMD, NVIDIA), and any other device equipped with a DisplayPort to TVs, projectors, monitors, VR headsets, and more. *Note: Keep in mind that it is a ONE-WAY cable, specifically designed to convert from DisplayPort sources to HDMI displays.
