Triple monitor docking station compatible with HP 15.6 FHD and HP ZBook Firefly

[Kacey43]

I am really desperate to find a triple monitor docking station that is compatible with the 15.6 FHD and ZBook Firefly. Right now in order for me to use my three monitors with the two laptops I have to switch docking stations. My work laptop, which is the Z book firefly is only compatible with the G5 docking station that I have my 15.6 FHD is only compatible with my Targus docking station. Neither of the two allow me to do three monitors all at once, so I always have to plug in my HDMI directly into the laptop so that I could have three monitors. The other two monitors use DP. One laptop is for work the other laptop is for school and I just wanted to be a seamless process of me switching out my USB-C plug but it’s not and I need to find a docking station that will allow me to do this.

1. The specs of your HP 15.6 is   https://support.hp.com/in-en/document/ish_6297860-6297993-16

     NO USB-C dock on market today support 3 external monitors for this machine,

2. What is your Zbook Firefly ? There are 10 or 11 generations around.

In short, the is NO such dock on market today for you to support 3 external monitors for BOTH machines.

Ok well what docking station will work with both for 2 monitors? Also, are there docking stations that does 3 monitors with USB-A? Isn’t the FHD compatible with USB-A? Then I can use a converter for the HP ZBook Firefly 14 inch G10 correct?

Actually many older USB-A docks support 2 external monitors (FHD) for BOTH machines. For example

I actually bought a cheaper version from Lenovo on eBay for A$70 to test. It worked perfectly on my Dell, Asus, Lenovo and HP machines.

How do I go about researching the other docking stations that are compatible? Because you only provided a link for one docking station and I may not want to purchase that one.

Normally HP won't allow us to post products from other vendors.  Lenovo has few models, you can search for USB 3.0 Lenovo docks with DisplayLink chip, then go from there
