I need advise on 3 monitor setup with Alienware M17x R3
Posted: 12 Jul 2011, 10:28
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!
