Why can’t I use three monitors after adding a new one?

Asked By TechyGamer92 On

I recently bought a PG27AQWP-W monitor and hooked it up alongside my other monitors. However, now my other OLED monitor, the PG27AQDM, won't display anything unless I unplug my IPS monitor (the PG27AQN). I'm wondering if this issue is related to power deficiency or something else. Just to give you some context, the PG27AQN is running at 60Hz, although it can go up to 360Hz. I've also tried using different cables but nothing seems to resolve the issue. According to NVIDIA settings, it recognizes only 2 out of 3 displays, and I can't seem to activate the PG27AQDM. Any advice would really help! I should mention I was able to fix it by swapping out the PG27AQN for another 1440p monitor, which seemed to solve the problem, but I'm curious what the root cause might have been.

It’s not likely a power issue. The problem is more with the overall data being pushed by your GPU. Resolution, refresh rate, and HDR can really add up. If you’ve ramped up any of those settings, it could be why you're having trouble getting all three monitors to work simultaneously.

That sounds frustrating! Just FYI, I had a similar scenario before. Sometimes it comes down to the GPU’s ability to handle the load. Switching some settings on the monitors can help, like tweaking their resolution or refresh rates.
