HD 620 Graphics

[TCioc]

I would like to hookup Two monitors to my Dell Inspiron 17 5767 with a intel 620 graphics. i already have my tv connected, how can i Connect a new monitor. i want the new monitor to Duplicate the laptop screen, and the tv to display something different.

Your laptop has only a single HDMI connector for external monitor/TV hookup. Your only option for adding an additional external monitor is via USB 3.0. This would be a low performance interface and, if you have it mirror your main monitor, it will slow that monitor too (gaming would be problematic).

Hope this helps,

Hey Scott Thanks for responding, i might bee wrong but i think the hd 620 can have three monitors, question is what is the best way to connect them

[n_scott_pearson]

Yes, the processor has the ability to drive three DisplayPort outputs, but you can't use an output if it isn't brought out to a connector. Bottom line, they exposed one output (with a DP-to-HDMI converter IC) and used another for the laptop display. The third is not made available in this laptop design.

AAA Got it Thanks a Bunch Scott, I guess i shouldn't buy a new monitor then. lol. one more question, what about a Y splitter? wont it detect the second monitor?

With a splitter, it will output same image to both monitors - but no, it will not detect two separate monitors.
