Connect multiple monitors to laptop

[Larrythelame]

Hi, I need to find a simple way to connect 3 separate monitors to my laptop. I currently have one attached to the USB, one to the HDMI and one to the USB 3.0. Ideally I would like to run them all from one port preferably the HDMI as the USB 3.0 seems to have a mind of its own. None of the monitors have HDMI so I am looking for a HDMI to VGA splitter which allows the display to be extended and not duplicated. Also, the display is not as good definition as the laptop, so do I need something to boost this?

Thanks in advance

@Larrythelame Welcome to HP Community!

Here's all you need to know about connecting monitors to your device:

NOTE: 

You can add another video card to your computer to get another video connection. Make sure both video cards use the same Windows 10 or Windows 8 compliant (WDDM) driver.

Step 1: Connect the second display

Computers and TVs have a wide variety of video connection types. The video connection on your computer must match the connection on your TV or monitor.

NOTE: 

If your PC only has DVI and your TV does not have a DVI port, you can use a special adapter or converter cable.

1. Select a connection type based on your second monitor.

   • Monitor: VGA  or DVI  cable

   • TV: Video (composite)  or S-video  cable

   • High Definition TV: DVI  or HDMI  cable

2. Connect the TV or monitor to the computer using the cable you chose.

3. Connect a power cable to the TV or monitor, and then turn it on.

4. TV connections only: Change the TV video input source to match the video source connection from the computer (Line-1, Video-1, HDMI, etc.). Refer to documents that came with the TV for instructions.

   Depending on the TV, the image quality might not be as good as that of a monitor.

5. Turn on the computer.

Hi, thank you for taking the time to respond. However, I already have 3 external monitors connected to my laptop and what I was really looking for was a way of running all 3 monitors from 1 port

@Larrythelame I'm afraid that's only possible using a splitter and that's not something we recommend using as it may disrupt the power supplied to other components of the device,

I hope that helps.
