[bondgamer]

Hi,

My laptop is HP Pavilion 17-e117dx  with model F9J38UA . It has one hdmi and one vga port with Intel HD 4000 graphics. Does it support 3 displays?

When I connect one monitor to hdmi and the other to vga , I have to disconnect the laptop screen to make the monitors work.

I need 3 screens for my work.Please help !

@bondgamer Welcome to HP Community!

I understand that you would like to connect three monitors, 

You have to purchase the HDMI splitter cable in this regard.

Please refer to the below link to HP PCs - Using Two or More Monitors with One Computer (Windows 10, 😎

I did a lot of r&d on this and finally found a solution. Hdmi splitter will Not work since I dont want to duplicate the 3rd monitor. Intel HD 4000 will only accept 2 displays at a time for this laptop. So what you need is a usb 3.0 to hdmi adapter. I bought one from amazon and it worked flawlessly. I now have 3 extended screens and can add more with such adapters.

The adapters have their own chip and are not dependent on the in built graphics card.

Thanks for the response though.
