How to connect 3 monitors with only 2 HDMI ports

[Shak1]

I just bought this computer. The specs say I can hook up 3 monitors to this. I only see 2 hdmi connections at the back. How do I add 3 monitors?

Hi,

Where is it ? Probably you read a different model/product of this series elsewhere. I can't find from the following specs:

    http://support.hp.com/au-en/document/c04792282

It only has  Integrated Intel HD Graphics and its back:

Figure : Odense back I/O panel

1. USB 2.0: 2
2. LAN (Ethernet)
3. HDMI: 2
4. USB 3.0: 2
5. Audio: Line in
6. Audio: Line out
7. Audio: Microphone

Regards.

Thank you for the response. I have seen this at a few places e.g.

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/hp-envy-desktop-intel-core-i5-12gb-memory-2tb-hard-drive-brushed-metal/4...

"HP ENVY Desktop: This desktop features 12GB of high-bandwidth memory for smooth multitasking, plus Bang & Olufsen audio for pristine sound when gaming and watching movies. The HDMI output allows you to connect an HDTV or up to 3 monitors, so you can immerse yourself in high-definition graphics."

Is it just incorrect info on BestBuy site? If so, can I add an additional graphics card to get another display working? I read somewhere that it may disable the integrated graphics card. Any other alternatives?

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

Yes, it has one spare PCIe slot for video card

• Expansion Slots:
  • 1 PCI Express x16 (Gen 3.0)
  • 1 PCI Express x1 (Gen 2.0)
  • One M.2 socket 1, key A

but Integrated video is not available if a graphics card is installed. That means you have to buy a new video card which supports 3 monitors.  You also need to replace PSU and this may end up very costly upgrade. You can go back to the shop and ask them how they can help this with a cheaper way or try the following option:
