I am planning to buy predator helios neo 16 laptop. I was wondering if i can connect 3 4k monitors to it.

I need to have a multi monitor setup for trading. My current predator helios 300 can support only 1 over hdmi. USB C port doesn't work on a monitor. I was wondering if the newer models can support 3 4K monitors. 2 32" 4K and 1 43" 4K monitor. I can see 2 laptops in my budget, and wanted to know if they work as intended or someone is already using it like that.

Hi pkprince48

The PHN16‑71 comes with 2 USB‑C Thunderbolt 4 ports that support 4K monitors, and the HDMI port also supports 4K resolution. You can connect 2 external 4K monitors using good quality DP cables to the 2 USB‑C ports, and if you need a 3rd external monitor you can connect that to the HDMI port.

Both of the laptops are the Predator Helios Neo PHN16-71 models that you have a link to, which are the 13th Gen cpu and are what I'm also using right now, which mine has the i5-13500HX cpu / RTX4050 gpu. With both of those laptop models, you will be able to connect 3 monitors to both laptops.

The cheaper PHN16-71-59XW with the i5-13500HX cpu / RTX4050 gpu or the more expensive PHN16-71-757P with the i7-13700HX cpu RTX4050 gpu are virtually the same laptops except they have different cpu's. whichever laptop you chose, what I suggest is that you upgrade either of these laptops memory to a min of 64GB ram at 2x 32GB DDR5-4800MT/s CL40 type (Crucial sell 64GB at 2x 32GB DDR5-4800MT/s CL40 kits) for the multitasking applications that you will use this laptop for, as that needs allot of memory and that is essential as both of these laptops only have 16GB 2x 8GB DDR5-4800MT/s CL40 type ram.

So, it depends which PHN16-71-xxxx that you want, as the only difference is that the i7-13700HX cpu will give you more processing power and its a bit quicker performance, but as far as graphics is concerned, they both use the same RTX4050 gpu so they perform the same.

These laptops can use a 3 multi monitor array very easily and you have a choice of setting the monitors in a Daisey Chain setup (3 monitors giving a one continual image) with connection to the laptops Thunderbolt 4 ports or the normal connection where the 3 monitors each have the same full image, so these are your choices of connecting these 3 monitors.

Below are all the ports of the PHN16-71 model laptop and its ports descriptions of the HDMI port and the 2x Thunderbolt 4 ports, which is at the back of the laptop (don't know why Acer calls it the front)
