3 Monitors the same on Windows 10?

[LilSnoop40]

hello, I am trying to make 3 monitors the same in windows 10. my laptop screen and 2 monitors, I don't see an option to make all 3 the same just duplicate 1 and 2 or 1 and 3. I got lucky once and make it happen where windows was showing 3 monitors then I did windows P and it did duplicate but i can't figure it out now.  when I did windows P it only showed 1 monitor as 1/2 and then all 3 were duplicate but it doesn't make sense as I have 3 monitors.. please advise.

I'm not sure what a use-case scenario would be for this, but that's none of my business and it looks like others have tried the same thing.

I found this:

This worked on my MSi laptop in WinVer 1809, using (1) the built-in display, (2) an Acer display via a DP & VGA adapter, and (3) a Samsung TV via HDMI:

• right-click on unused part of display
• select "Graphics Properties"
• select "Multiple Displays"
• check "Clone Displays" then "Select one or more active displays" (i had all 3 showing) Then all 3 displays showed the same screen/image.

EDIT: Actually, I retract my comment about not understanding a use-case scenario would be. I guess you could have multiple monitors setup around a room that show the same information coming from one computer rather than having multiple cheap machines that draw the information from a singular location (your web server, for example). The cabling could get messy, but that's not for me to argue.

Agreed I’ve never had the urge or need for it. A friend is trying to use this method for some home schooling for their son.

Hello,

Just to check, what is the brand and model of the laptop, and how are the monitors connected to it?

So I have used a program called https://www.displayfusion.com/ for dual monitors, and it says it can do more, not sure if that would exactly work for what your friend needs, but you could look into it.

The laptop might only support 2 concurrent displays.

There is a simple way to do this, use a monitor splitter.  Just choose the type of connection you need, connect the monitor, in the display setup choose duplicate and your done.
