For anyone who has had experience with the P1 Gen 2, do you guys know how to connect the laptop to an external monitor via USB-C to HDMI? I'm able to connect the laptop to an external monitor if I connect it directly via HDMI but not using the USB-C adapter. The reason I ask is because I want to connect the laptop to multiple monitors and also because 1 of my monitors works faster when connected via USB-C to HDMI, as I have experienced on another older laptop. The interesting things are that: 1. In display settings, the laptop detects the connection to the external monitor that is connected via USB-C to HDMI even though there is a black screen on that external monitor. 2. When restarting the laptop with the USB-C to HDMI connected, sometimes, the display shows up on the external monitor or switches back to the laptop screen but never is there a display showing up on both at the same time. If anyone knows about this, I'd greatly appreciate the help. Thank you so much!

Hi,
I just got the ThinkPad P1 Generation 4i a few months back and I got the Lenovo Thunderbolt 4 docking station to match. I was having issues with getting two external 27” 4k screens to show - there was flickering and intermittent signal losses regardless of the new 8k cables used to connect to the dock.
Anyhow, the dock is not working now, but I have cables such as the HDMI to USB-C and DisplayPort to USB-C, but I’m still not getting the 4k monitors to show using these when connected to either Thunderbolt 4 port on the laptop. I’m using the built-in HDMI port on the laptop to push one 4k screen presently.
Any suggestions? Thanks much.
I've updated all drivers, I use dual boot and the issue is the same even when I switch to Ubuntu.
If I connect another laptop using the same HDMI and monitor it works fine. I've even tried doing a reset of the laptop the x1 carbon just won't detect the secondary monitor. The graphics card I have is Intel(R) HD Graphics 620.

What's the solution?
