How would you connect more than one display? null

The first two monitors are easy. One connects to the HDMI on the desktop, the other connects to the display port on the desktop....BUT HOW DO YOU CONNECT A THIRD MONITOR?? Been on the phone with HP for over 2 hours. First they say you can use the USB c 10GBPS port to connect up to 2 monitors. Connected them directly to the usb c and that didnt work. Then they said I needed a USB hub, so I purchased one of those from HP, and that didnt work. Then I was told they cant help me any further because I dont have HP monitors...so I am at a loss. No clue how to get more than 2 monitors to work.

The Display Port allows you to connect multiple displays. The USB ports do not allow you to connect to displays, as they do not support DiplayPort alternate mode. You can connect the HDMI for one display, and up to 3 more via the Display port on the back. NONE via the USB.

I think he wants to extend the display not replicate the same discplay on two screens. Like me I am wondering how to connect simply two screens and allowing it to extend the desktop not have the same display on two separate screens. Looks to me that none of the usbc ports support video and only one HDMI output so im not sure how they are claiming video out more than one.

You need a USB-C to dual HDMI adapter like https://www.bestbuy.com/product/insignia-usb-c-to-dual-4k-hdmi-adapter-gray/J2FPJK9XHX

Have you tried an HDMI Splitter?
