I have a HDMI cable from my laptop to a Splitter with 2 HDMI cables going to 2 tv's but in "Display settings" it only shows 2 displays, 1 is my laptop and the other is my Sony tv but not picking up my Panasonic tv, I have it set to extended not duplicate.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Not in terms of HDMI signals from a single source.
An alternative, if the laptop has unused USB ports is a USB-to-video-jack adapter. I have one that connect the USB port to a VGA cable. There are adapters that connect USB to HDMI, to DisplayPort. You should look into these -- but these are not guaranteed to work, so be sure to buy from a source where you can easily get a refund.

I don't believe an HDMI splitter is going to work because you need an individual signal to each monitor, not a shared signal.
Regardless, if Windows does not see all the monitors, you are stuck as there is no way to force it to do that.
