Probook 6570b 3 monitors, with docking station

[Fredrik2]

Hello

I have a Probook 6570B with a dockingstation, hstnn-i11x.

Im having problem using 3 monitors.

I have all 3 monitors connected to the docking station using a DVI cable, a Displayport cable and a VGA Cable.

But I am only being able to get two screens to work simultaneously, not all 3 monitors.

Im using Windows 7 Enterprise Service Pack 1, 64.

Dose anyone else have this problem? Has anyone solved it?

Or are you simply not able to use 3 monitors with this computer and dockingstation?

Here is the thing, Probook is a commercial notebook and the grapic card is not too high so the grapic support is limited to certain display. The docking station might have several display ports but it is for optional use and not simaltanious use. There are lot of software/apps out there which you can download and which might help you get multiple display.

This might comein handy:

Hello!

Thank you for the reply.

Oh so that was the problem...

I tried with 1 DVI cable and 2 displayport cables now (one into the docking station and one into the laptop) and that works.

Putting aside that he ddi manage to get multiple displays simultaneously

I don't see why you are trying to connect commercial notebooks to limited display support.

From what I  have heard, the reality is the other way around.

Commercial laptops will tend to have more display options than Consumer ones.   And in business/commercial environments t's common for somebody to want to connect a projector.

And a side note, I suppose in many business environments there are programmers that want multiple displays, or in banks I suppose people might have a laptop with a docking station with multiple displays.
