Two external monitors for the laptop - TravelMate P215-52G

Борис

TravelMate P215-52G Windows 10 64-bitDrivers:

Intel (R) UHD Graphics

NVIDSA GeForse MX230

The laptop has two ports:

1. HDMI

2. VGA

I have two Samsung S22A350H monitors that can work in HDMI mode and VGA mode.

Question: When the monitor is connected to the VGA port, the monitor works normally.

When another monitor is connected to the HDMI port, the monitor connected to the VGA port stops seeing the signal

but the monitor connected to HDMI works normally.

Can my laptop transmit signals on both (HDMI and VGA) ports at the same time?

If so, what needs to be done?

P.S.

There is another USB-C port, but I did not connect to it.

Thanks!

I am not completely sure, but it looks like both the HDMI port and the VGA port are the same internally, with a demuxer between them. That would tend to show the symptoms you see, only one port at a time working. To connect two independent monitors would require one connected to either the HDMI or VGA and the second connected to the USB-C with a USB-C to HDMI cable or a USB dock that provides an HDMI or VGA connection.

Я не повністю впевнений, але схоже, що і порт HDMI, і порт VGA всередині однакові, між ними є демультиплексор. Це, як правило, показує симптоми, які ви бачите, тільки один порт працює за раз. Для підключення двох незалежних моніторів потрібен один підключений до HDMI або VGA, а другий підключений до USB-C за допомогою кабелю USB-C до HDMI або док-станції USB, яка забезпечує підключення HDMI або VGA.
