Hi

I have a Acer C27-1700 and have a second monitor hooked up its an HP EliteDisplay E231. I want to run a third monitor . From the acer im using the hdmi port and going into the DVI port on the HP monitor this works fine . iv hooked up the two HP monitors with a display cable but it says check cable .. Do i need to just get a HDMI splitter for this to work ?

Acer doesn't specify whether the USB-C port has video out as well as the HDMI-Out jack, so connecting a second monitor is easy with the HDMI-Out, but connecting a third might work with a simple USB-C to HDMI cable and might require a full fledged dock with video out. A HDMI splitter will not work unless all you want is for both external monitors to show the same output.
