I want to use my external monitor on my HP 470 g9 (sorry for mistake) with newest Debian and proprietary NVIDIA drivers installed. I can't use it because my software can't recognize my HDMI correctly.

I want to use my external monitor on my HP 450 g9 with newest Debian and proprietary NVIDIA drivers installed. I can't use it because my software can't recognize my HDMI correctly.
Since you don't tell us what kind of nVidia card, version of nVidia drivers, desktop environment you're using, on what kind of laptop, we can't be much help. Provide details and we can try to assist.
NVIDIA CARD:01:00.0 3D controller [0302]: NVIDIA Corporation TU117M [GeForce MX550] [10de:1f9f] (rev a1) (from nvidia-detect)
DE:I tested I3 and LXQT, same problem on both
LAPTOP: Hp 470 g9 (sorry for mistake)
NVIDIA DRIVER:version:525.147.05

LAPTOP: Hp 450 g9
NVIDIA DRIVER:version:525.147.05
The latest version of the nVidia driver for that card is 550.78, which fixes numerous bugs...one of which is HDMI support. And do you have your monitor plugged in/turned on before you boot?? And I'd suggest a different desktop environment...your system has enough power to run something 'bigger', which may be easier to test/configure.
I installed this version and I'm on XFCE. Same problem
XFCE isn't much better, and still fairly lightweight and harder to configure; Gnome or KDE would be far easier. And you were asked if you had the monitor plugged in and powered up before you booted the computer, but didn't answer. What's the output of "lshw" (or "hwinfo") and "inxi -Fxz"?? Post the relevant parts in CODE tags here. What have you actually done to try to get the monitor to work, besides run xrandr?
had the monitor plugged in and powered up before you booted the computer
Yes

I don't want them because installing them will install many not-needed apps, but if I must, I can download one of them (DE) and then remove them (some apps) .
Yes

What does it matter if other apps are installed?? You have plenty of disk space.
You aren't using the nVidia driver...you're using nouveau, as it says in the bolded section. Also, you didn't mention that you had two graphics devices (both Intel and nVidia) previously. Have you installed nvidia-detect, and the non-free repositories???

Yes, I have.

Your card is supported by all driver versions.
Your card is also supported by the Tesla drivers series.
Your card is also supported by the Tesla 470 drivers series.
It is recommended to install the

I installed „nvidia-driver” package and after reboot version of my NVIDIA driver is 525.147.05. After installation:

Ok....so you're now using the nVidia drivers. Has anything changed?? New desktop environment?? Have you run xrandr to see what's going on, or done anything to actually enable the monitor??? Having to ask for each detail over and over isn't pleasant. If you're still on xfce, have you installed/tried to run the xfce display settings program??
If you're still on xfce, have you installed/tried to run the xfce display settings program??
Yes, I tried and can't see other monitor. On nvidia-settings I can't set other monitor too...
I also tried GNOME and KDE. No difference, but on Wayland xrandr and inxi -G are different

I didn't checked lshw. And it's pleasant for mee too, but I need 2nd monitor via HDMI.
Right, we understand what you need, but you're not giving much information without having to be repeatedly asked. You were asked about lshw, then post you didn't run it...so why ask for help if you're not going to do things that are suggested???
You're bouncing back and forth between X11 and Wayland...better if you pick one and stick with it. Have you checked the X server logs??? Did you read either of the links that were looked up for you???
Sorry, no...I'm not trawling through your logs for you. Why don't YOU post the error(s)/messages you see???

I stay on X11.
No, you went from X11 to Wayland.

Yes, I read.
Sorry, I'm done. Not going to keep playing these guessing games with you. Those links had many steps and possible solutions, but trying to get you to actually do/say something besides the bare minimum isn't pleasant.
