My laptop only has the following ports - HDMI port, one USB C, and two USB A. Would I be able to run the two monitors with the laptop by connecting them separately to the laptop, one via the HDMI port and the other either via a Displayport to USB C connector or Displayport to USB A using a USB A to Displayport adapter?

Daisy chain is not possible because the P2419H does not have a DP video OUT port. The P2419H only has the following video in ports =
HDMI
DP
VGA
Versus say the U2419H which does have the DP video OUT port.
