No problem as long as hub is for same HDMI standard.

If your laptop is equipped with an independent graphics card, two USB-C ports with thunderbolt capabilities, and additional HDMI ports, three external monitors can easily be utilized. Two monitors can be connected to the laptop through USB-C and the 3rd can be connected to the laptop through an HDMI cable.

3 monitors, or a 3rd monitor?
Title and body conflict here.

3 seperate monitors. Can I use a hub from gpu to 3 seperate monitors.
Generally confused and have no clue what I’m on about.

HDMI does not support multiple video streams on a single port. Splitters will only duplicate the same image onto multiple displays.

So graphics cards have so many outputs before you cant add anything more? I don’t know why I thought otherwise tbh.

DisplayPort can do multiple displays on a single port

DisplayPort can do multiple displays on a single port

But all the displays will be the same?

No, DisplayPort supports independent video streams from one port

So the display port. A part of the gpu.

Can support multiple video streams.

So theoretically, I could use a hdmi splitter in a display port and it would seperate two different interfaces apart from one another?

Orrrr

The display port which I use a DisplayPort to hdmi cable to use a single monitor will work. However a splitter will not?

I’m sooo confused turns out I probably need to tinker. With it instead of ask questions.
