I have a lenovo laptop, and recently acquired a hdmi to vga adapter so i can get 3 total displays on my laptop:

1 output with vga
Laptop display
1 output with hdmi with another vga screen

I have a i5-4210M and Intel HD 4600, which says it supports 3 screens
and if it helps i have a GTX 850M as the dedicated.

I brought this from amazon:
HDE Converter From this exact seller

and what happens is that my laptop recognizes the screen and adapter but on the screen there is only black, and once in a while it flashes what sort of appears to be my laptop's output and a lot of other noise like red/blue/green lines and such.

I checked, the screen cables and everything is all working, but i did not check the adapter itself.

Is there anything I can do to make this work, or something that can help me check if I am doing something wrong. If anyone needs me to add more info i can always.

Thanks,
Harry

That sounds like an adapter issue to me, but I'm not sure. Make sure all the connections are tight. Also, can you get the adapter to work with just one monitor?
