Recap
Displays are not a simple thing to understand and many times there is not a simple solution for all tasks. With dierent
resolutions, response rates, viewing angles, bit precision, and display types the choice of display can be overwhelming.
However, knowing what these measurements all mean and why they are important is helpful when choosing a display.
Hewlett Packard oers displays in our HP ZBooks that t many dierent needs and specialize in things from touch
screens to high resolution and color accurate displays. Our HP ZBook displays and HP ZDisplays are used for any
workstation worthy job and with DreamColor and other enhancements can benet professionals in any eld.
Multiple display support
Utilizing display outputs from both the Integrated Intel® GPU (Graphics
Processing Unit) and the Discrete GPU, the HP ZBook 15 G2 Mobile Workstation
supports up to a maximum of six independent displays.
The number of independent displays supported depends on a number of
factors, including if a docking station is used, if a DisplayPort Hub or “daisy-
chain” capable display is being used, and if Hybrid Graphics is enabled.
Due to more stringent color requirements, Dreamcolor panels only use display
outputs from the Discrete GPU, and thus the maximum number of independent
displays supported is reduced from six to four on SKUs with NVIDIA® graphics
and ve on SKUs with AMD graphics.
HP ZBooks without Docking Station
HP ZBook 15 G2, without the use of a Docking Station, supports up to a maximum of four independent displays on SKU
with NVIDIA® graphics and ve on SKUs with AMD graphics. These four displays are the internal panel plus three external
displays connected to the VGA, the DisplayPort (DP), and the Thunderbolt™ 2
2
Port connectors. On SKUs with AMD
graphics, an additional external display is supported for a maximum of ve independent displays through the use of DP
1.2 “daisy-chain” feature (see below).
