Two different cards. 4 monitors needed, not 3.

[mitko23]

Hello guys,

I've decided to research a bit about multi-monitor setup and how to do it. So, I saw that I have a video card on my laptop which supports 4 active displays which is NVidia GeForce 920M. But my main graphich card, which I use while on desktop is the integrated card of INTEL® CORE i5-7200U, and it says that it supports up to 3 active displays. What can I do in order to run 4 displays and not 3? Should I prioritize my NVidia to do everything or I should do something else? And do you guys think it's a good idea to run 4 active displays on my laptop? I mean I only need it for Stock Market and nothing else. I don't plan to play games on it. The RAM is 8GB.

Thanks in advance.

If your laptop has display port out, something like this may work https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0722QJ9FS/ref=sspa_dk_detail_8?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B0722QJ9FS&pd_rd_wg=8JP4f&pd_rd_r=BRP1FZVWCHMMA3HXNVK8&pd_rd_w=QdJ4M

Matrox has a good multi monitor setup for laptop also but it's $300+ http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/products/gxm/ you can pair one of those along with the laptop video out.
