Will a USB Monitor work for this situation: Maximum number of monitors on Video Card!
 

Hi!
At our church, we have a video system we use during the service. We run it off of a laptop, and use Intel Wireless Display to link the TV's to the computer. I also need a 2nd monitor to connect to my laptop.
The problem is, my laptop's video card only supports 2 displays, and those are being used up by the laptop's screen and TV. When I plugged another screen into the laptop, it would only allow me to use two of the monitors. I read somewhere that your DisplayLink monitors can be used even if your video card won't accept other monitors. Can I buy a DisplayLink USB monitor and connect it to the laptop. Will it work as a second monitor and still show on the TV and my laptop screen? I want it to duplicate whatever is on the TV's....can it do that while I still have my laptop screen?
Thanks for the Help!

Yes - you can add additional DisplayLink displays, aswell as the 2 displays you currently have. However only 2 displays can mirror each other at a time. It will not be possible to have a 3rd DisplayLink screen and have all 3 displays mirroring

Ok, um, I'm confused. Will it allow me to do this?

THANKS FOR THE HELP!! YOUR AWESOME!!!!

I like the diagram :)

Yes - this should work (assuming you are using Windows 7). The laptop screen should be screen 1, then you can set screens 2 and 3 (TV and DisplayLink) to mirror each other. Note that they will both have to be at the same resolution, which means the image might not fill the screen on both displays.
