Hi Everyone,

As the title indicates, I am struggling to get output on the 3rd monitor. The setup is as follows:

GFX Card is AMD Radeon 7950 -> miniDP to DP cable plugged in (v1.2)
Lenovo P24h-20 x 3 - the DP end above is plugged into one, and then from first to second and second to third, I am using DP 1.2 cables
OS is Windows 10

Display settings shows all 3 monitors however the final one in the chain shows "isn't active" and making it active does not work.

First Monitor setting - Daisy Chain Auto
Second Monitor setting - Daisy Chain on
Third Monitor setting - Daisy Chain off (various sources online state to turn the final one off)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This monitor?

[Do verify that I found the applicable User Guide.]

However, before changing anything review the User Guide to ensure that all other configuration settings are as they should be with respect to your overall display requirements. There are quite a number of options and it is all too easy to overlook something.

Region? Where did you get the DP cables?

For DP connections, Lenovo recommends specific cables. Reference physically numbered Page 1-7 of the User Guide.]

Also verify that you correctly set and saved the DP Daisy Chain function as necessary for each monitor. Reference Page 2-7.

Try turning on DP Daisy Chain on the 3rd Monitor (which you may have done re: "active"). No harm in verifying.

Try swapping the monitors order. Determine if it is always monitor #3 in order failing to display or the same physical monitor failing to display when daisy chained.
