RIght now 3 (I hoped) Dell, the coming back one is a HP.

The HP coming back is a HD monitor, 23" and there 1920 x1080, I think
at 60Hz.

2560x1440@60 requires 5.63 Gbps bandwidth.
1680x1050@60 requires 2.7 Gbps (I think)
1280x1024@60 requires 1.8 Gbps (again, I think)
1920x1080@60 requires 3.2 Gbps
The X1 Carbon 3rd Gen has one Mini DisplayPort (with roughly 12Gbps
bandwidth) and one HDMI port (roughly 6Gbps), and the manual indicates
support for three independent displays. That might indicate a
limitation of just one display per port, I'm not really sure about that.
But, hypothetically, there should be enough bandwidth to drive any
three of those displays with one monitor on HDMI and two monitors
daisy-chained over DisplayPort with no other devices required as long
as DisplayPort 1.2 is supported by both the laptop and the monitors.
I *think* it is on the X1 Carbon 3rd Gen. If your monitors don't
support DisplayPort daisy-chaining, but they do support DisplayPort,
you might be able to use a DisplayPort MST hub to link two monitors on
one laptop port.
If you don't have at least two DisplayPort monitors, then a dock with
a DisplayLink chip is probably your only option.
ok. So I have the Displaylink already ;-) . Now I think I convert my
splitter to VGA. Maybe I shouldn't (read something about that in a
different thread today). Also the 2 "bigger" screens (so not the 17"
one, only supports VGA) both have DP connections. Didn't know anything
about daisy-chaining so I'll look into that when the HP monitor returns.
Thank you very much!
Fred
