multiple displays with Intel HD Graphics 5500

[ARibe4]

HI, I have a Lenovo G50-80 i7-5500U CPU 2.40GHz and I want to add to more displays and keep the laptop display as principle using just one VGA.

It's possible to configure this to run like above?

Thanks in advance.

Hello, All:

Aleksandro, could you please provide me with more details about the configuration that you would like to achieve? How many displays are you adding? Are you planning to use adapters? What operating system are using? One more thing, what do you mean by "the information does not seems to be updated"? Which of the questions/answers is not helping you?

Regards,

Amy.

Hi Amy,

I am adding two displays.

I am trying to use a Y cable(VGA).

My operating system is a Windows 10 Home.

I mean, the link which Al Hill shared, contains information about HD Graphics until the 5000 model, I do not know if this out of date or if it is mean the HD Graphics 5500 does not support an addition of two or more displays.

Regards,

Aleksandro

Thank you for answering all my questions.

Based on your computer specification, you should able to add two displays using the following configuration; HDMI port, VGA port and Built-in Display, but in your case I strongly recommend to contact Lenovo first to find out if three independent displays are supported and what configurations are supported with your specific computer model. The information I provided is based on the capabilities of the Intel® HD Graphics 5500 and the general information about Intel graphics features. However, your computer or motherboard manufacturer can incorporate customizations and might not support all general graphics features. One more thin, I would like add is that Intel recommends straight connections, using the Y cable(VGA) might not work.

Hi Amy,

Thanks, it is the better way to work with Built-in Display and two Digtal Displays. I will assk Lenovo about use a Y cable(VGA) but for now, your advice solve my problem.

Thank you and thanks to Al Hill for help with this.
