Which dock options should you consider?
For HP ProBook 440 G6, HP USB-C Dock G5 (5TW10AA) is the simplest documented choice when the desk needs built-in HDMI plus DisplayPort, while HP Thunderbolt Dock 120W G2 (2UK37AA) is an exact-listed legacy alternative for DisplayPort-based fleets. Use only the 120 W G2 package, not its 230 W or combo-cable charging claims. The reviewed HP evidence establishes model compatibility and up to 100 W host delivery for each supported package, but it does not publish an exact combined-screen table for ProBook 440 G6. Start with one or two FHD60 screens. On G5, higher modes depend on the host DisplayPort revision, DSC and dock display mode; on G2, do not promise rear-Thunderbolt video unless the exact host link is confirmed as Thunderbolt rather than USB-C fallback.
HP USB-C Dock G5 / 5TW10AA
HP's July 2020 compatibility sheet names ProBook 440 G6 and G5 provides native USB-C data, charging, two DisplayPorts and HDMI.
Check first: Use the attached host cable and matching 120 W supply. Begin at one or two FHD60 screens; generic higher G5 modes remain host-conditional.
HP Thunderbolt Dock 120W G2 / 2UK37AA
HP's 2019 compatibility table includes this model or its stated generation group, making it a documented legacy choice.
Check first: Match 2UK37AA and its 120 W supply. The dock has no built-in HDMI; use DisplayPort or a correctly directed active adapter, and qualify any rear-Thunderbolt display path.
Another dock family — unconfirmed
No third exact-model package was established in the reviewed official records.
Check first: Require a current exact manufacturer listing plus separate display and power evidence; connector shape or HP branding alone is insufficient.
Connect displays and power
- G5 connection
- Power 5TW10AA, then attach its captive USB-C cable directly to the notebook's video-capable USB-C port.
- G5 displays
- Use rear DisplayPort or HDMI; the front USB-C socket is data/15 W accessory power. Start with one screen, then a second at FHD60.
- G2 connection
- Power 2UK37AA with the 120 W supply and connect its documented host cable directly. Begin with the dock DisplayPort outputs.
- HDMI on G2
- G2 has no built-in HDMI. An HDMI monitor needs a correctly directed DisplayPort/USB-C video adapter rated for the desired mode.
- Power
- Each documented package advertises up to 100 W to supported HP hosts. Keep the original notebook charger available to distinguish dock power from a display fault.
First recovery steps by symptom
No dock device appears
- Remove the host cable, dock AC and all peripherals.
- Reconnect the exact dock's matching power supply, then its supplied host cable directly to the notebook.
- Verify one USB device before adding network and monitors.
A display stays black
- Reduce to one FHD60 monitor, select its input and reseat the rear dock video cable.
- Use Windows Display Detect and test the monitor directly on notebook HDMI.
- On G2, use DisplayPort first and remove any unverified adapter or rear-Thunderbolt display path.
The notebook does not charge
- Confirm G5 5TW10AA or G2 2UK37AA, the matching 120 W adapter and the supplied host lead.
- Remove high-draw accessories and reconnect without an extension cable.
- Compare with the original HP charger; if it succeeds, update the chosen dock firmware and retest its power path.
The link drops or will not resume
- Disconnect dock AC and host, then restore dock power before reconnecting the notebook.
- Install the exact ProBook BIOS, USB/graphics components and the selected dock firmware.
- Retest with one display and one peripheral, adding devices until the failing branch is isolated.
Still unknown: HP does not publish the exact dock-facing DisplayPort revision, DSC status, combined display ceiling or G2 rear-Thunderbolt fallback behavior for ProBook 440 G6. The installed processor/graphics configuration, monitor EDIDs, cables/adapters, mixed refresh and color depth, HDR, current BIOS and dock firmware, operating-system configuration, actual charge rate, sleep/wake stability and field reliability remain unknown. No hardware was tested.

HP G5: ports, power and screen checks
| Check | For this setup |
|---|
| Computer cable | The attached G5 USB-C cable goes to the laptop’s video-capable USB-C port. |
|---|
| Screen cables | Use rear HDMI or DisplayPort. The front USB-C socket is for data and 15 W accessory power, not a monitor. |
|---|
| Two Full HD screens | Listed in every G5 bandwidth column, assuming the host supports the display count. Confirm the exact laptop configuration and OS. |
|---|
| Two 4K60 screens | Require DP 1.3/1.4 in high-resolution mode, or DP 1.4 with DSC in the default mode. A USB-C socket alone establishes neither. |
|---|
| Three 4K60 screens | Only listed with DP 1.4 DSC in high-resolution mode; all three rear video outputs are used. |
|---|
| Power | Up to 100 W to supported HP hosts. A workstation requiring more needs separate supported power. |
|---|

Thunderbolt G2 120W: an additional documented option
| Check | For this setup |
|---|
| Model match | 2UK37AA / 120 W version. Do not substitute the 230 W or combo-cable charging claim. |
|---|
| Monitor outputs | Two DisplayPorts, rear USB-C video, rear Thunderbolt and VGA. There is no built-in HDMI socket. |
|---|
| HDMI screen | Needs a correctly directed video adapter rated for the target mode. An HDMI cable alone does not fit this dock. |
|---|
| Two-screen evidence | The manufacturer lists the model/group. A combined display mode is a separate check. |
|---|
| Charging | Up to 100 W to the host; keep the laptop’s own charger available for verification. |
