3 screens extended display - Laptop + 2 external monitors

[jeremie_joe]

Hi Everyone!

I really need your expertise on this :

I have :
- An ASUS laptop equipped with an Intel HD graphics 520 graphic card and a micro HDMI output.
- A Splitter (HDMI>2 HDMI)
- 2 Samsung monitors (S24F350FHE)

I connected my laptop (Micro HDMI > HDMI cable) and the 2 external monitors (with HDMI cables) to the splitter.

On Windows 10 > Windows settings > Display I see only 2 displays while there should have 3.

Consequence: While I'd like to have a 3 screen extended display, I can only see 2 different displays (1 on the laptop and 1 cloned on the 2 external monitors).

I updated the Graphic card driver - nothing changes.

Help!

Thanks in advance !
Jeremie

Using a splitter, you're "splitting" / duplicating the output - they cannot operate independently.

You have the laptop display + one display "out", that's all you can drive.


Does the laptop support any other display outputs? DisplayPort maybe? VGA etc.... those could drive a 3rd display.

Anybody knows if using a USB - VGA dongle would solve this problem?
