3rd Monitor Greyed Out - Pavillion g7

[Dan_0]

Setting up 2 external monitors with the laptop... One on the VGA connector and the other on the HDMI connector.

Under the display settings, the computer sees all three but the 3rd display is greyed out. 

All the monitors work but no matter what I do, one is always disabled. 

What's the trick? 

Thanks

Here's a screenshot.

@Dan_0 To change the viewing mode on Windows 10, use these steps:

1. Open Settings.
2. Click on System.
3. Click on Display.
4. Under the "Select and rearrange displays" section, select the monitor that you want to adjust.

5. Under the "Multiple displays" section, use the drop-down menu to set the appropriate viewing mode, including:

   • Duplicate desktop — Shows duplicate desktop according to the description.
   • Extend — Expands the primary desktop to the display currently selected.
   • Disconnect this display — Turn off the selected monitor - Ensure this is not selected

   

After you complete the steps, you may need to repeat steps No. 4 and 5 to set the display mode on the remaining monitors.

Also, note that using these settings, you can make any of the monitors as your primary display.
