Hi all.

I'd like to also use my laptop's screen when I open the lid while it is in the docking station, but when I do this, I lose one of the external screens and the laptop screen becomes screen #1.

Is there any way to achieve what I'm looking for?

Thanks,

Flavio.

Hi and thanks for your reply.

You're not really addressing my specific issue/question. Is it not possible to use two external monitors connected to the docking station *together* with the laptop's screen?

I can see 3 monitors in Windows preferences when I open my laptop's lid, but one is greyed out.

When I close the lid, I can see only 2 in preferences (the two external ones) and I can use them both.

OK - so really no help at all?
