Hey everyone! I've been struggling to get my PC setup right, and I have a question about running multiple displays. My PC isn't for gaming; I mainly use it for work and occasionally watch TV shows or movies. Here are my specs:
- **Motherboard:** Lenovo SHARKBAY 0B98401 PRO
- **Processor:** Intel Core i5-4570
- **Graphics Card:** Intel HD 4600 (1.25 GHz)
- **Wattage:** 240W Max (if I read that correctly)
I noticed that my motherboard has options for two additional DisplayPorts. So, my main question is, can I add two more displays with my current setup? I'm also looking into getting a dedicated graphics card soon to make everything run smoother, but for now, I'm trying to make do. What do you think, is it possible? Should I go for it?

Yes, the integrated graphics can handle three monitors, but it looks like your motherboard might not support three display outputs. One workaround could be to use a USB to HDMI adapter for the third monitor, though I'm not sure if they make those for DisplayPorts. That could be a solution worth considering!
I found out that the ports you mentioned are DisplayPorts, not HDMI. If you get the right adapters for them, they should work just fine!
