Hi
My wife has a work laptop HP Elite Book 830 G8 and would like to use it at home occasionally. She uses 2 monitors at work to extend a single desktop across both.
What would I need to buy that's a reasonable price to do this please?
I have 2 Illiayam ProLite E240 7HDS-B1 monitors that I picked up cheaply that have HDMI and DVI-24 pin, D-Sub mini connections.
Looking at the laptop manual it says it has HDMI 2.0 as a connection. 2 x Thunderbolt 4 Type C
It's certainly not graphic heavy so the native 1080p from the monitors is more than adequate. We tried a cheap advertised type c dock that claimed to split to two monitors but nothing worked. Her windows is set up already for extending her desktop as that's her norm at work.
What little understanding I have seems to think usb c will carry the picture fine and I would think it just comes out of the hub on two HDMI cables one to each monitor?
What am I missing and does anyone have a pocket happy solution please?
Many thanks
Phil
