Hi!

I have an HP 15bc200ur Notebook:
Intel® Core™ i5-7300HQ (2.5 GHz, up to 3.5 GHz with Intel® Turbo Boost Technology, 6 MB cache, 4 cores)
NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1050 (2 GB GDDR5 dedicated)
Intel(R) HD Graphics 630
GeForce GTX 1050  

The question is - will it support 2 external monitors 32" and 27" using HDMI splitter, won't it be too much for graphics card?
Monitors are the following, for work purposes no gaming:
Acer ET322QUbmipx 75Hz 
Dell S2721HS 27" 75Hz 

I can't test it manually, because my Acer monitor is in my parents house in another city.

Thanks in advance.

Yes but what for ? HDMI splitter is a joke. It doesn't matter how big those monitors but depending TOTAL dots (resolution).

 

The specs of your machine is:    https://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c05407226

 

It only has ONE HDMI port which supports 1920 x 1080 max. You can use USB-A port to add a second external monitor also 1920 x 1080 using

  • Monitor 1: HDMI direct cable,
  • Monitor 2: Using a Displaylink Certified USB-A to HDMI adapter such as

                                     USB to HDMI Adapter

 

Again: it doesn't matter how big your monitors, but their RESOLUTION.

 

Regards.

Hi, and thanks for your reply!

Acer ET322QUbmipx resolution is 2560x1440, and it worked well through HDMI port on my laptop last time I visited parents - for Chrome / Excel / Documents and sometimes coding simple things with MS VisualStudio.

Then, I guess I can connect 2560x1440 monitor using HDMI port and 1920x1080 monitor using USB-A to HDMI adapter and it will be okay for NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1050 with 2 GB GDDR5 dedicated?

Thanks, for your time and explanations.
