The desktop has one port and is driving two (extended view) monitors.

Do you know if you replicate two of the monitors and have the third one extended?

[Dashrender]

Now you want to add a third monitor?

The HP specs 2 years ago indicated that the DP port supported only 2 monitors. I'm not sure how you would get a third display on this particular machine.

I do believe that it has a VGA port as well, so I could probably get a third monitor on the VGA.

This is the model number of what I bought. MSTDP122DP

This is for the video steaming project. I actually want to drive 4 monitors. One monitor displaying my sources, and 3 monitors displaying the output. Those three need to all display the same thing. (duplicated) I'm trying not to add any more splitters than I need to.

They make a 4 port adapter, I don't know the requirements to use it though.

Oh - It does have an HDMI port,.. just not sure of the other once,..

It's this port:

@gjacobse That is DVI

@JaredBusch Thanks

[Dashrender]

Those other two look like Display Port, but that could be the angle, so I suppose they could be HDMI.

I agree - but they are display ports,.. the left side of the connecter / and bracket are cut at a 45deg,.. but the right side is not. But hey - don't listen to me,.. I was confused as to what the DVI port was.
