Hi,

Its specs says:

"

Features

Keep your most frequently-used peripherals1 plugged in to the replicator and ready with one USB cable4 connection to your notebook. The included power cord keeps the replicator charged and ready.5

Connect your devices to two USB 3.0 charging ports and one USB 2.0 charging port. Work smarter by adding a standalone display to the integrated HDMI or VGA connector or use the included adapter to connect to a DVI display ..."

That implies you can only use one port, not both at the same time. You can use laptop screen and external screen but not 2 externals. There are few other options around, looking for DisplayLink certified. You can use 2 external monitors and your laptop screen (total 3). I did post example on this forum few times.

Updated: You can pay a bit more to get the folowing one from HP, this one supports 2 external monitors.

Appriciate your quckest reply . As i understand from your message above , i can't connect two monitors to this docking station and use them both. or i can buy two hp displays with display link technology to use both of them with that port replicator. yes, i think it will be better to by much better port replicator to use with two external monitors .

Anyway thamks for your comprehensive reply.

Hi,

The second link on my previous reply shows another product from HP which support TWO external monitors. Note: DisplayLink does not mean 2 units, just one unit with 2 working connectors.
