Drive multiple monitors

[EddieMIDI]

I am looking to buy a desktop (or laptop) that will simultaneously play a YouTube video or mp4 from its hard drive to two Epson EX 9140 projectors and one Insignia smart TV (HD resolution).  The signal will be transmitted via three individual ASK nano p2p (passive) transmitters connected to three HDMI ports (or USB-c port to an HDMI adapter if more ports are needed)  The projectors and TV will receive the signal with corresponding ASK nano p2p receivers through their HDMI port. What type of graphics card do I need to support this?  The desktop (or laptop) will be used exclusively for this use.  The desktop   is 60 feet away from the projector.  We have successfully tested a laptop to one projector via the ASK nano p2p device.  This is for a church, so we are trying to keep costs to a minimum.  Intuitively, I think we should get the best graphics card we can, but keep to a minimum the RAM, hard drive and other processing components, since we are only playing YouTube or mp4 videos or perhaps a Word document with  the lyrics to hymns or our bulletin.  Please advise.

Hi @EddieMIDI,

Welcome to HP Support Community.  

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

It seems like your question might be a bit unclear. However, if you're asking about setting up multiple monitors on an HP desktop computer, I'd be happy to help!

Most HP desktop computers come equipped with multiple video outputs that allow you to connect multiple monitors. Here's a general guide on how to set up multiple monitors on an HP desktop:

Check Your Graphics Outputs: Determine what types of video outputs your HP desktop has. Common outputs include HDMI, DisplayPort, VGA, and DVI.

Monitor Compatibility: Make sure your monitors are compatible with the video outputs available on your desktop. If necessary, you may need to purchase adapters or cables to connect the monitors.

Connect Monitors: Plug in the monitors to the available video outputs on your desktop. Make sure both monitors are powered on.

Access Display Settings:

• Windows: Right-click on the desktop and select "Display settings." Alternatively, you can go to the Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Display.
• macOS: Go to the Apple menu > System Preferences > Displays.

Detect Monitors:

• Windows: Under the "Display settings" window, click on the "Detect" button to allow Windows to recognize the connected monitors.
• macOS: Click the "Detect Displays" button.

Arrange Displays:

• Windows: You can choose how you want the displays to be arranged (side-by-side, extended, duplicate, etc.) in the display settings.
• macOS: Arrange the displays by dragging and dropping the monitor icons in the arrangement you prefer.

Adjust Display Settings:

• You can adjust various settings like resolution, orientation, and scaling for each monitor in the display settings.

Apply Changes: Once you've arranged the monitors to your liking, apply the changes and see how the setup looks.

Additional Graphics Control Panel: Some graphics cards also come with their own control panels that offer advanced display options and settings. You might need to install additional software or drivers to access these settings.

Remember that the steps might vary slightly based on your specific HP desktop model and the operating system you're using.

I hope this helps. 
 

Take care and have a good day.

Actually, it’s not monitors I am adding but two Epson EX 9240 PROJECTORS, plus an HD TV.  Rather than connect them via cable, I must stream the signal from the laptop to the projector.  (They are 60 feet away.)  I found a transmitter that goes into the laptop HDMI Port, ( or into a usb-c port with an adapter to HDMI) with a corresponding receiver that plugs into the Epson monitor port.  I would be using three ports—three transmitters to drive the output.  My question is more of a hardware one.  Can a “standard” laptop with an integrated graphics handle that kind of load, or do I need to buy a laptop with a more powerful dedicated graphics card?
