How to mirror a laptop screen on a projector and TV at same time?

[exiledone1]

Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to mirror my latop screen onto a projector and also a flat screen TV at the same time?

It's for a church project. Currently the laptop is hooked up to the projector through a VGA cable. The latop has few extra hdmi slots and the TV also has HDMI and S video.

I would think it could be done, but not sure how. The laptop is running windows. Currenty the projector works with the laptop, but now we need to get a TV hooked up so whatever shows on the laptop shows up on projector and TV. Thanks

It depends on the laptop. Try connecting all things together (projector thru VGA, a monitor thru HDMI), and see whether your laptop recognizes all three displays.

If it fails, you might try powering the TV thru USB-to-HDMI adapter.

The majority of laptops can only output to a single external display.
Going to 2 external displays would require either a docking station, or a simple HDMI splitter for the externals.
What inputs does the projector have?

Hi USAFRet,

Here's some extra info which may help you to help me out:

Projector: Epson EX3210
Inputs: Standard R/W/Y - S-Video - TypeA USB - TypeB USB - Computer (I believe it's a VGA input) No HDMI as far as I can tell.

The Laptop is a lenovo and has the following input has a VGA, two or three USB ports, and a HDMI slot

The TV - The Flatscreen has HDMI in 1, HDMI in 2 (DVI), USB (5V 0.5A), Ant In, Optical, Standard R/W and Component

Right now my pastor has the Projector (this is a church project) hooked up to the laptop through the VGA cord and it works fine, but when he told me one time he did try to plug the TV up to the hdmi slot from the laptop doesn't recongize the flat screen. I've heard about software like UltraMon, but not sure it can do what I'm looking for.

I have no problem buying some equipment if needed like a HDMI splitter or docking station, just would need to know it can solve the problem without purchasing first of course and the exact ones I need to purchase, how to setup. Thanks for the help in advance.

A USB-VGA adapter may work alongside the HDMI to the TV.
