HP Envy 750-624
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I am not sure if I have 32 bit or 64 bit, but I am running WIndows 10.

 

May I please learn if it is possible to run three monitors on my computer.  I only see two HDMI ports in the back.  I had attempted to look up, and I think the graphics card can support three? (or at least someone led me to believe).  Someone at a tech store suggested getting an HDMI splitter, so I could change 2 ports to "effectively" three ports.

 

Question: Is it possible to successfully run 3 monitors.  2 monitors is running just perfectly fine, but I am curious if I can go three?

 

Thank you so much in advance for any help you can provide.  I most sincerely appreciate the learning opportunity.

That is not true, your machine has Bara motherboard has Integrated HD Graphics 630 which supports up to 4096 x 2304 @60Hz as shown

Therefore how many monitors in not the answer, you need to add there resolution together to work now the number it can support. For example: UHD monitor (4K) has resolution of 3,840 x 2,160 that means you can only use one 4K monitor

 

The HDMI splitter may work but you ONLY get duplicated screen because they come out from one port.

 

Hope this makes sense.

 

Regards.
