Trouble Connecting Second Screen through USB-C Connection

[DAMAGExCONTROLx]

Hi All,

I have recently purchased a new work laptop (HP Pavilion 15-CC505TU) that i would like to set up with duel screens when at use at my desk. It only has one HDMI output but it also has a USB-C connection that i have been told will work as a display output.

The monitors only both one HDMI and one VGA input. One is hooked up fine to the HDMI port, the other is hooked up from USB-C to HDMI using a USB-C to HDMI adapter.

The straight HDMI connection works fine as an extended screen, the USB-C connection produces a windows error when connected that pops up in the corner saying "Try improving the USB connection. DisplayPort connection might not work. Try using a different cable.".

So I then went and got another brand of USB-C to HDMI converter. This also produces this error. Possibly some settings or additional software/drivers i can look into? Or is the converters i have been supplied not comparable?

Any advice on where to look next would be greatly appreciated!

USB-C cables and adapters are not necessarily standard like USB-B was. To that end, not all USB-C ports can necessarily be used for video output universally. You might want to contact HP about what they would recommend. At the very least, I'd recommend buying HP's usb-c to hdmi adapter.

Same issue here. I have an HP laptop with one HDMI port and one USB-c and I want to connect two monitors. Here are the steps I followed:

1. Bought a 2 in 1 HDMI adapter. Does not work. I read through the forums and I thought the issue is I may have bought an hdmi switch instead of a splitter
2. I went to a store and asked for an HDMI splitter. The employee told me that having a splitter would not allow both monitors to function at the same time.
3. Bought a USB-c to HDMI adapter. The monitor is not working.

Any help on how I can make this work?

Here are my laptop's specifications

next time start your own thread. the laptop you have, the usb-c is data only, no video output.
