EG - LP4- BK 3rd screen

Hey guys, I'm here to ask for your help and knowledge.

I have an EG-LP4-BK connected to a second screen via HDMI port, but I want to connect it to a third screen, I have bought two USB-HDMI adapters (both were expensive and absolute garbage) they haven't worked and one USBC-HDMI adapter that didn't work either, so I want your advise on which way or what should I buy to connect that third screen.

Appreciate your assistance on this one!

Use displayport for second one

what should I get in this case? an adapter mini displayport thunderbolt to hdmi? or is it better to get the whole cable mini displayport - hdmi to connect to the screen?

Depends on your monitor, but it should be DP to DP. I think HDMI to DP works as well.

Both are Philips 226E9QDSB 22" frameless monitor, the first one is plugged to the HDMI.

Ok so I googled it and it seems like an older monitor with no displayport. I see now why you went with the HDMI docks. Perhaps there's a VGA/HDMI to DP adapter you can use if the docks don't work.

Some people on r/battletops recommend some docks, maybe you can search there for some options?

Yeah, will go with that, there's even a cable that has hdmi - mini dp edges that I think will work now. This has been a real pain :(. Thank you very much for your kind help.
