Cable to use two monitors plus laptop screen
| # | Post |
|---|---|
| 1 | Can someone advise what cable I need to add a second monitor so I am using my laptop with 2 further monitors. Both monitors need to work as an extension, so I can drag things between all 3 screens. The laptop is a Dell Latitude 7490 with a USB C, HDMI and 2 x USB slots available. Currently I have one monitor connected to the HDMI port. Prefer cheaper, ie closer to $60 mark than $100 if possible. I am just not 100% sure what I am looking at as I know some splitters are just duplicating what is on the laptop screen which is not what I am after. Hopefully I have given all the necessary information. Edited by nzkiwisnz at 7:10 pm, Mon 18 Oct nzkiwisnz - 2021-10-18 19:09:00 |

| 4 | I only have one screen running with my laptop and I have this. But I don't have room for another screen or know what to use for that setup. joanie04 - 2021-10-18 21:05:00 |

| 6 | If you want to run 3 different screens you need more than a cable. You need a USB 3 to HDMI / DVI. If you use one of these you can output to three monitors duncb - 2021-10-19 14:38:00 |
