Connect 3 screens to a laptop? - Kαѕρer - Sep 11, 2017
So I have 3 screens on my wall, they all have only DVI-D and VGA. Is there any way to connect them all the 3 to my laptop? My laptop has only 1 HDMI port. If not, for what can I use them?

Get a splitter, that's capable of running 3. Your best bet is to get a splitter than you input from laptop, capable of splitting to 3 DVI-D or VGA connections output.
Once you've got them physically connected (assuming you're win user) search "multiple screens" in your Cortana / search bar and your OS will auto detect and allow you to split the signal

This is converting 2 VGA ports to 3 ports? I only have a HDMI port on my laptop.

It's doable but pretty pointless since it's unlikely your laptop would run well with 3 monitors connected.
