Possible to use 3 monitors simultaneously on T530?

#1 Post by wrybread » Tue Aug 02, 2016 7:33 pm

I just got a T530 with the NVidia Optimus graphics. It has two external monitor jacks (VGA and HDMI), I was wondering if there's some way to get two external monitors to work simultaneously?

I think it should be natively supported without much hassle.

Yep, it will work without hassle. I believe this also works with graphics mode set to discrete or optimus in bios, but not if it is set to integrated.
