HP Envy Dv7 3 monitor setup help!

kaamady · 02-09-2013, 02:52 AM

My laptop is the HP Envy Dv7 Quad Edition Custom with 2gb Nvidia graphics and 8gb ram running windows 8.

There are two external monitor ports 1 VGA 1 HDMI and my Laptop Screen
I have two TVs plugged into the ports. If I try to use the two external ports, the laptop screen turns off. If I try to set up all 3, it will disable my TV on the VGA and use the laptop screen and HDMI. Is there any possible way to use all three? Like maybe extra software or an adapter or something? Help!

This isn't quite a DisplayLink question, but I don't think you can use all 3 outputs on this laptop at the same time.

A solution is a DisplayLink adapter that would give you a 3rd screen over USB.
