Question on HP laptops and dual monitors

gadget · 08-07-2009, 09:46 AM

Does anyone have an HP 6530b that can confirm if you can connect 2 monitors at the same time. This is the standard issue model in the company i work in. I have currently I have a dell hooked up to two 20 inch monitors and would hate to loose the dual display.

is your dell docked?

yes it a D620 with the standard docking station.

thats what i thought. you would need a similar setup with the new laptop to retain the dual 20"

quick google shows these as compatible docks for your machine
HP 2008 120W Docking Station
HP 2008 150W Docking Station
HP 2008 150W Advanced Docking Station
HP 2008 180W Advanced Docking Station
HP Mobile Port Replicator

you should be able to google each one and see what it can and cant do then compare to your current setup.
