This is very good info for those that are just getting into multi monitor setups. I like how you included how to adjust the monitors alignment in the settings to get it to match how your monitors are actually set up. It makes a difference when you are moving the mouse form screen to screen.
I wish I knew that before I got everything. But I have to admit I've had fun setting all my stuff up. I do have to make a run to Best Buy to get 2 HDMI to display cables. Plus I need 2 power surges. But this had been an excellent video. Very organized & simple. Thx for posting. & I made sure to give it video a like 👍🙂 gr8 stuff my man
Hi I don’t have a graphics card but the computer is good. I have display port, hdmi, vga and the other big one. My pc can see the third screen but will not use it no matter what I do. I’ve tried everything. It’s an old computer with windows 11 and it’s been detecting all 3 but will only turn on 2 screens at a time and the 3rd screen shows up small beside the other 2.
On older graphics cards and older monitors, you only get one DisplayPort on the GPU and then HDMI on the monitor. I had to get an Active DisplayPort cable adaptor dongle so as to fool my HDMI equipped monitor think it was a DisplayPort monitor. Fortunately, the adaptor is only $20 but they are really hard to find at most electronics retailers. I love my triple monitor PC rig. Make sure the HDMI to DisplayPort adaptor is specifically an Active DisplayPort adaptor
Is it possible to extend desktop to monitor 2 and duplicate monitor 1 to monitor 3? It is kind of confusing I know but my PC recognizes my gamecapture as a Monitor and I still have a second monitor. I'm actually using Windows 10 and it seems not to work but maybe at Windows 11 it seems I can configure what I want to do with each monitor, am I wrong?
I just bought one to test I built a from s ratch adjustable sim rig and am looking for budget triples. VR, imho, is great when it works. And for me, it works about 20% of the time.
I have a three monitor setup all is well except, audio i have to click on my home monitor to hear sound. I am on PC . if i move to the second or third monitor the sound stop working. I have to click back on the home monitor to hear sound. I have chose the monitor that i want to be my home monitor. How can I config my settings so sound works no matter which monitor I am working on? I am mixing music on my system. Thank you for any advice.

I have 3 monitors with an L shaped desk. Wanting to do a non L shaped. Looking at ikea with Alex drawers. What size desk is best for 3 monitors and a pc on the desktop? Width and depth? What is one you show in this video?
Can you make a video on how to do this with a laptop. I use my laptop for graphic design and I have the laptop mounted and docked under my desk but I have two monitors that I want to extend the display to. My laptop doesn't have dp alt mode so the usbc to 2hdmi dock i bought doesn't work. Is there one you guys know of that is either hdmi to 2 hdmi or hdmi to 2 display port docs ?
Is there a way to turn multiple monitors into a "ultra wide" display without using Nvidia or amd GPU settings? I had great fps and amazing graphics running a single. With the amd eyefinity engaged, it will not let me overclock or do custom settings with eyefinity on and would like to return to my original graphics quality.
so i recently ran into a problem... my 3 monitor setup was great for months but for some reason when i updated my pc, it changed the orientation of my monitors. it was 1,2,3 (left to right) but now its 1,3,2. whenever i go to put the monitor 2 to where monitor 3 is, in the display settings it will still say 1,3,2 even after applying the changes.. do i need to disconnect an reconnect my monitors?? what should i do?
I have a HP mini desktop computer. It has 2 video ports. VGA and HDMI. I want to add a third video monitor. I bought a USB to HDMI adapter. I can get video to it but only if I duplicate monitor 1 or 2. Display settings only detects monitors 1 and 2 but not 3. Is there a way to have Windows detect a third monitor via a USB ports or is there a better way?
Hi my problem is it seems as I can only power 2 monitors at a time and it’s not the simple fix Of extending the screen, I can power any two screens I shut one off the other one turns on and the third one says no power? I cannot find no videos about this, except the extend. I don’t know if this is a motherboard problem or setting or graphics card setting. I have the 4090 rock strix and MSI Meg 790 Ace max. If you could help, it would be greatly appreciated or at least tell me if you know they’re both new but I don’t know if I should contact the graphics card company or the motherboard company.
The monitors dont have different versions of windows. Your pc tower is what has windows. The monitors are strictly for display options and you can mix and match straight, curved, 4k and non 4k

Hey Zach i have a Gaming computer with AMD Ryzen 9 16-Core Processor 4.20 GHz Windos 11 Home and a AMD RADEON RX 7900 XTX 24 GB GPU. The GPU has 2 HDMI and 2 Display Ports. I am trying to hook up 3 LG OLED C3 Monitors for a flight simulator of course there are no display ports on my monitors so I separately used 2 8K HDMI cords to 2 monitors and a Display Port to HDMI for the 3rd monitor. I did coose a 60Hz refresh rate as well. I can only get one monitor to show up after everything is hooked up. I did use HDMI1 on each separate monitor and I did try all different configurations and it appears each of any of the monitors will black out the one and only monitor that shows up first. Do I need a stronger GPU or do I need different cords to hook up to each of the monitors. Thank you for your video.
Actually you CAN use the mobo display port for a monitor. Plug your 3 into the gpu. Then turn on the onboard gpu in bios, and plug a 4th and or 5th into the mobo. use those for web surfing/discord while using your gpu monitors for gaming.

How do you go about doing this for laptops with only one HDMI port and one USB-C port?
There’s adapters that go from usb c to 2 hdmi. So you can use both your ports to get to 3.
