In better news, with the Display-port socket plugged into a dual-HDMI active adapter, this thing can indeed power the three screens I need.
That was the main worry really. Need to drive 2 monitors and a projector from this machine with only one HDMI and one Display-Por socket.
It can apparently cope with any arrangement of screens, all unique or all mirrored or overlapping as you like.
I mostly just want them mirrored really. One is the main monitor, the other mirrored on the treadmill desk and that mirrored to the projector when I turn it on.
So that all worked right away. Figured it might not coz none of my Display-Port to HDMI cables worked. Apparently they need to be 'active' which I guess means 'powered' and this dual-screen thing is that.
One of those cable is a 10 meter active optical. Light down a fiber with converters in the plugs. Fancy eh?
