I am looking for a solution for an existing problem my boss is having. He has an HP 840 G3 ultra book with a docking station, a secondary monitor and a TV. He is looking to duplicate his laptop screen to the TV, and use the monitor as a secondary (extend) display. I'm not sure how else to word this particular issue, but any help would be greatly appreciated. Any of the solutions for similar problems recommend a splitter but seeing as how the displays he's looking to duplicate are the laptop and the TV, I don't see how a splitter would be of any help here. Any suggestions?
3 displays, 2 duplicate, 1 extend - laptop, monitor, and TV

You can try a 3rd party multi display program but that can add a bit of lag to the displays. https://www.displayfusion.com/ Contact them or a similar product and see if it will do what you want.
Does the docking station have 1 or 2 video outputs?
If the docking station only has 1 output then there is really no way of pulling this off outside of external display adapter and like hang-the-9 said there will be lag.
If docking station has 2+ video outputs then you should be able to do this just fine in windows or intel graphics control panel.
Now if you could rig it the other way where the monitor and the tv shared the same screen then you could get a display splitter and send it to both.

I'm still confused as to how multiple outputs would even make a difference. I mean, it does have 2 outputs, since we're outputting to both the secondary monitor as well as the TV, but since the main display (the laptop display) is the one that needs to be duplicated, I don't know how having even 3 or 4 outputs would help in this situation. Nothing I'm doing seems to help using the default windows graphics control panel. Am I missing something here?
I was mistaken. If you have multipe display adapters this can be done, but with only one graphics card you cant have an extended and a clone.
There is no hardware option to clone the laptop display to the TV while having extended on the second monitor.
Hardware wise, all you can do is use a splitter to duplicate one output.
Now software wise you can use a tool like this: http://www.displaylink.com/downloads/multi-monitor-tools
