Second monitors connection to a laptop

[jabjab]

I have this laptop that I wanted to add 1 or maybe 2 HDMI screens to for home support. I'd like to have different applications on each screen.

What sort of device would I need for this? I don't think a splitter would allow me to have different spreadsheets on each screen.

Not 100% certain but a lot of the laptop monitor plug ins are outputs only.

USB-C adapters with HDMI / Display port? or a monitor that support USB-C connection?

This.

Get a dongle/adapter. Use the HDMI port to output to Monitor 1.
Use USB-C port to a adapter to output to Monitor 2. https://www.amazon.ca/IOGEAR-Compact...39649662&psc=1

I have what looks to be the same laptop. I used a USB C to HDMI adapter ($15 from Amazon) and can use all three screens independently.

Same setup I have at work. USB male to HDMI female. Plug and play.

Get yourself an HP UltraSlim Dock.
There's versions that are triple displayport/hdmi/vga mixed...

I don't see how two screens can be connected to the laptop with it but in the description it says it can. I'm obviously lacking computer tech skills

This is what I have:

What I got was more like this as I was using the existing HDMI cable that came with my second monitor: https://www.amazon.ca/Adapter-Thunde...s%2C129&sr=8-4

But yeah, you plug one monitor in via the HDMI port on the laptop, the second monitor you use the above mentioned adapter/cable to plug the HDMI in via the USB C port beside the charger connector.

I suggest something like this.

Plug your monitors in and forget them. Only the USB-C connection to deal with when you want to be portable...

Is that an hp elite book? I have a usb c dock that might work for you. Dm me if you want to try it out. Then just pay me whatever you want if it does, it’s just collecting dust anyways.

Thank you but I ordered one through Amazon and I'll see how it works out. Appreciate it
