HDMI & VGA at the same time on a laptop ?

[Bacchus]

Hello ,  I have a laptop (Integrated Graphics Intel HD 4000)  with HDMI and VGA outputs.

-The VGA output is connected with a TV

-I just got a new Monitor that I connected with the HDMI output.

 

Why can't I have both the TV and Monitor at the same time? When I plug the TV the monitor won't be recognize and vice versa.

Same problem as for me, it seems like the internal card has not enough bandwidth to support so much screens.

Some display devices don't support more than one GPU at a time. It's plain that simple. Unless of course you have a display disabled in Control Panel.

HD 4000 can only support two displays at once

well, that sucks ! and this new Monitor is a 1440p, but sadly I can only do a 1080p Resolution due to the lack of an HDMI 1.3 on my laptop LOL. 

Anyways I am building my very first rig soon since I have been with this laptop for the past 3 years and know is getting obsolete by todays demans , just waiting for Black Friday for some good sales.

Thanks a lot for replaying : )

Sad news

intel HD can only use 2 monitors. The new iris iGPUs can support 3 however.

Triple screen support for Intel GPUs is only found on Haswell and later. Ivy Bridge (HD 4000) and earlier only support up to two displays, including the laptop's built in display.
