EliteBook 840 G3
Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Hi all,

I  am trying to connect a 3rd  display to EliteBook 840 G3 using a Displayport to 2 HDMI splitter hub. The splitter hub works fine with 2 displays but it disconnects the display attached to the VGA  port. When I enable the display attached to the VGA port, it disables one of the displays attached to the hub. It looks like EliteBook 840 G3 cant handle more than 2 external displays.

Is there a work around for this ?

 

Regards

Using HDMI splitter will give you SAME contents on both screens. What for ? You do not want duplicated don't you ?

@Banhien , Thank you very much for responding. Much appreciated.

The Splitter hub extends the displays with no issues, but I cant use a 3rd display.

Ok, it is not a splitter then. It is an adapter or a hub. All you need is a proper adapter using result from above link.
