    I just bought this HP laptop[^]. I want to connect dual monitors, so I bought one of these on Amazon[^]. I hooked it up, went into Display, Multiple Displays, and clicked Detect - and it doesn't detect it. Do I need an HP docking station? ANy thoughts on what's wrong?

    If it's not broken, fix it until it is. Everything makes sense in someone's mind. Ya can't fix stupid.

      Why not ask HP, it's their product and they have help forums.

        Just noting that on more than one occasion using even the same laptop (not HP) I have experienced this sort of thing. Usually involves a lot of experimentation and googling to get it to work. Googling will show multiple suggestions/causes. I also haven't tried it with USB only though.

          You want 3 monitors? Why not use the HDMI port for "one" extra? Did you try rebooting after connecting everything?

          "Before entering on an understanding, I have meditated for a long time, and have foreseen what might happen. It is not genius which reveals to me suddenly, secretly, what I have to say or to do in a circumstance unexpected by other people; it is reflection, it is meditation." - Napoleon I
