HP Z-Book Monitor Fun

Took me a while to setup multi monitors on a HP Z-Book…

DALL-E: small person large multi monitors universe space overwhelming

:::tip

You have to keep the laptop open for all external monitors resolution to work properly (so that is 3 total monitors for me, 2 external + laptop)

TODO: computer specs

Background

I have two ultra wide 34” monitors and of course I wanted to use them with this new PC

The laptop has two ports for display:

  • USB-C
  • HDMI

My monitor accepts USB-C directly which is fantastic for Apple computers and I usually run:

  • a closed laptop
  • use both external monitors
  • bluetooth keyboard
  • usb mouse and web cam

:::caution

I could not get the resolution to work correctly with the laptop closed

FWIW the Macbook Pro worked flawlessly closed with the two external monitors via USB-C 😉
