Hi, I have an Acer Nitro laptop (details below). I am trying to connect it to two external Dell p2422he monitors that connect to the laptop with a USB-C. The monitors have internal hubs (dockers) in them.
The displays are not even recognised by the system. When I plug them in via USB-C:
- Internet works (I have connected one monitor to the internet via ethernet)
- Keyboard and mouse work (both connected to a monitor)
- Charging does NOT work
- The displays don’t work.
If I connect one monitor with HDMI it is recognized but I obviously want to connect via USB-C so I can have 2 monitors, ethernet internet, mouse, keyboard and charge my laptop.
I tried searching online but can’t find what I need to do. Do I need to install a DisplayLink driver or something similar?
