Mitch Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Yer on the model you have, it doesn't support the laptop as a 3rd screen. The ones that can do that are the pretty high end models Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yizzle Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 can i get a 3rd monitor and use a vga y splitter or something like that?some kinda impractical but successful work around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 If you want a 3rd monitor you would need to buy a usb graphics card thing. Will link when on tablet / computer. You could then use your laptop + 2 monitors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeatLeSS Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 If you only need VGA output, you could try the Alternative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I don't think his laptop has usb3. So you'll need to find a usb2 one. Have a look on eBay and you might find something cheaper (I didn't look on there) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
