Having three monitors can be helpful when you need to see a lot of information at once or when juggling several spreadsheets, writing articles while researching, coding, looking over the documentation, playing games, etc. Otherwise, the time spent moving or resizing windows would be wasted time. So, in the article below, you will find out how to benefit from a multiple monitor setup on your device.

Can Windows 10 support three monitors?

For the most incredible experience, Windows 10 includes several features and settings to support one, two, three, four, and even more displays without needing third-party applications. You are prepared to begin if your computer has the necessary ports, connections, and graphics card to handle three monitors.

Quick Tip:

If you use many displays at the same time, you will agree that it can be inconvenient at times.

DisplayFusion can assist you in properly managing your multi-monitor setup, ensuring that your desktop wallpaper is shown appropriately to title bar buttons and multi-monitor taskbars. Let us tell you how to make this work without further ado.

How do I set up three monitors on Windows 10?

1. Things to consider before setting up three monitors

For each added monitor, there’s a separate taskbar to help with keeping things organized. You can find dedicated apps that can help make multi-monitor setup easier. More specifically, dual monitors software brings several features to your device so that you can add, manage, or customize several monitors from one single hardware unit. Furthermore, these tools allow you to resize and relocate all windows to your liking by using the built-in functions or creating your own. If you want to continue with the manual setup, you should consider how many graphic ports your computer has – VGA, HDMI, DVI, or DisplayPort. SPONSORED You can set up multiple monitors using the ports on your graphics card and the ones on your motherboard. Although you have more than two ports, it does not necessarily mean you can use them all simultaneously. To check this, you need to do a little research. So open Google and specifically search for your graphics card model (e.g., NVIDIA Quadro K1200 three monitors). If you find out that your graphics card does not support three monitors, the solution is to buy an additional graphics card. In this case, ensure enough space on your computer and enough slots. If your monitor has DisplayPort multi-streaming support, you can use DisplayPort cables to connect extra monitors. If you have trouble with your NVIDIA card, find in this guide what to do if the Nvidia graphics card is not detected on Windows 10.
