Third monitor detection

[Lee554]

I am running my All in one PC with a second monitor (M27 fwa) with no problems. It is connected via HDMI and I work on extended displays. I have connected a third monitor which is the exact same model as the second monitor and the PC will not detect. It is connected to the PC on HDMI2 (second monitor is HDMI1) but will not detect at all. It is not the cable.

I'm guessing it's something relatively simple but I'm struggling with this one.
