So I am aware of how no USB ports support video output, however could a docking station be an alternative or any other cheaper ways to find an alternate. My objective is have triple screens.

    Yes, that is all that you can get out of your laptop as its only got a HDMI port. Unfortunately, HDMI cannot be used for daisy-chaining monitors. To successfully daisy-chain monitors, you need to use DisplayPort (v1.2 or higher) or Thunderbolt 3 and 4 connections. Monitors with DisplayPort or Thunderbolt ports that can support both input and output signals are required for daisy chaining USB-C and VGA ports do not support daisy chaining. While HDMI is a common interface for connecting monitors, it does not support daisy chaining in the same way as DisplayPort or Thunderbolt. If you’re looking to extend your display across multiple screens, consider using monitors with compatible ports for a seamless and efficient setup! Good luck.

    Yes, get a HDMI hub as that is the only display out port of the Nitro AN515-55 laptop that you can attach 3x external monitors to. This laptop with the GTX1650 gpu has a (6G) and the versions with the gpu's of the RTX3050 of the RTX3060 have a HDMI 2.1(12G) type port, so be aware of that also. Good luck.

    Thank you for your response, however, wouldn't an HDMI hub just display one output for the select source that the hdmi hub button has?
