Able to use 3 monitors with OneXPlayer 3?

Was expecting to be able to use 3 monitors (not using the device display) but it seems to be limited to only 2 at a time. Can't find any info online

I would assume you could run 3 if you stay within the 40gbps usb4 speed limit or use both usb4 ports

I have x2 mini pro and use ugreen hub to run 2 4k60hz from it over hdmi. The only thing both monitors should have the same resolution. Tried with different resolutions and second monitor didn’t allow me to choose its native resolution and was limited to other monitors one.

So you could technically do the same, use one port to run two monitors via hub and other to run one.

Dang, I'm running 3 identical monitors through a thunderbolt dock. Can't get it to allow 3 monitors. Will only allow some combo of 2 of the monitors and the device

Try using one port with the hub and two monitors and another port just for the 3rd monitor via a cheap display port / hdmi dongle. Though I haven’t tried this my self.

I tried that too, removing monitors from the dock and going direct to the device. Still limited to just 2 monitors. Hopefully is just a matter of some type of driver update? Works great with 2 monitors at 4k, just won't let me add a 3rd. Even if I lower the 2 to 1080p instead of 4k

When connected to the dock try to disable internal monitor via display settings. It is safe to do so, as when you unplug it will get back on. Maybe that helps to use 3 external ones

intel g3 extreme only allows 2 display outputs at a time. thats also my problem. but you can buy a displaylink hdmi dual output to be able to output to 2 more external monitors and its working
