My trick tomorrow is figuring out how to connect 3 external monitors (2x4k and 1x1080) to my work laptop (lenovo t490). So far, I can get any two to work, but not 3

@jerry

Are you also using the Thunderbolt/ USC C port as a display output? πŸ€”πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

@simonzerafa I have two monitors on the Thunderbolt port. When I try to add a third is the problem

@jerry

So much confusion in the T490 documentation and lots of snark in the forum πŸ™„

Looks like you can have two monitors on the USB C / Thunderbolt port and another on the separate external video out.

You might need to get to the UEFI configuration to enable that external video port if you have a dock connected though πŸ«€πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

@simonzerafa I was able to get it working - see here: https://infosec.exchange/@jerry/110134704579015467

Attached: 2 images Ok. The USB 3.0 to hdmi adapter did the trick. I have two 4k monitors and a 1080 teleprompter working. Laptop lid has to be closed, but I’m putting the laptop on a separate stand away from the desk anyhow. It’s still a disaster area of cords, but it’s getting there
