I am attempting to add an additional second monitor to my setup but of course I am having an issue.
I already have a separate monitor hooked up to my laptop no problem at all. So I have 2 screens Infront of me. I would like a 3rd.
I am using the following cables
1 x HMDI Splitter

2 x HDMI Cables
1x VGA - HDMI Adapter by Moread
1 x VGA Cable
1 x Dell monitor (VGA)
1x ViewSonic monitor (HDMI)
Optional 1 x Samsung Monitor (VGA)
I already tried connecting all items..but plugging in both monitors into the splitter causes both screens (not laptop) to go black and unresponsive. Not detectable. I also went ahead update my processer (Intel Core i7 10thGen). And installed supporting drivers. But still no luck.
I played around with the cables and saw all monitors indeed turn on and displayed correctly. but only if I have one monitor connected at a time.
Is it my splitter? Bought it brand new. Or my laptop cannot support a 2nd monitor at all? So far.. each device alone works properly, just cannot display a 3rd screen on extend . Would I have better luck contacting Intel Support too?
