| Post subject: | I need advise on 3 monitor setup with Alienware M17x R3 |
Hello, I have an Alienware M17x R3 gaming laptop, I have 1.5GB GDDR5 Nvidia GeForce GTX 460M graphics card on it. I have 1 miniDisplayPort out, 1 HDMI out port, 1 VGA out port, 1 HDMI in port on my laptop. I want to use 3 external LCD monitors (1920x1080 resolution for each) with my laptop. Is there a cheap way to use 3 monitors with my laptop? For example: Can I connect 1 LCD to HDMI, 1 LCD to VGA, 1 LCD to miniDisplayPort so that I can use 3 LCD monitors (1920x1080 resolution for each) with my laptop?? How many monitors does m17x-r3 support without any external graphics card or without a TripleHead2Go device? If I get a TripleHead2Go DP (DisplayPort) Edition which supports 5760x1080 resolution, can I use all 3 LCD monitors (1920x1080 resolution for each) in vertical position instead of horizontal (standart) position?? Here is the explanation: In horizontal (standart) position of LCD monitors, it makes 3 x ( h1920 x v1020) = h5760 x v1080 resolution and TripleHead2Go DP Edition is said to support this resolution, but in vertical position of 3 LCD monitors ?? In vertical position of LCD monitors, it makes 3 x ( h1080 x v1920 ) = h3240 x v1920 ,right?? Is this configuration possible with TripleHead2Go DP Edition?? And last question, where can I find the cheapest "TripleHead2Go DP Edition (product code: T2G-DP-MIF)" on the internet? I can order it in USA or in Europe and my friends can bring it to me, it is not a problem. Thank you folks! :) |

Nvidia with "display Port"? I dont think so. 2 monitors per Nvidia. Need second video card for your 3rd monitor. or get.....TripleHead2go with one Nvidia = 3 monitors correct me if I am wrong. I dont think Nvidia has any display ports? |

Nvidia with "display Port"? I dont think so. 2 monitors per Nvidia. Need second video card for your 3rd monitor. Alienware m17x r3 laptop has Nvidia GTX460M (1.5GB DDR5) graphics card, very new computer (2 months old) and it has 1 HDMI out, 1 VGA out, 1 Mini DisplayPort out and 1 HDMI in port. I checked on manifacturer's web site and I saw that GTX460M supports up to 5760x1080 resolution. So, can I connect 2 LCD monitors to my laptop?? One LCD to mini displayport out and 1 LCD to HDMI out ?? LCD1 (1920x1080, connected to HDMI out port)+ Laptop's own LCD (1920x1080) + LCD2 (1920x1080, connected to mini displayport out port) So total of 3 monitors will be also okay for me. Is this configuration avaliable for Nvidia?? |
