ux501JW triple monitor with hdmi and displayport?

if you have the 501JW, please test triple monitor with hdmi and minidisplayport simultaneously.

Does triple display work stably?


come on, no one has 2 external monitors laying around?

 

Forget it.

I purchased an ASUS UX501JW DS71T last year to use with eight external monitors.

Only discovered after receiving it that it will not bypass the good-for-nothing Intel HD 4600 display adapter.

(Hence will only support TWO (2) external monitors as a result... PoS!!!)

Even with two monitors attached, the nightmare just doesn't end! (I used a desktop system to drive the six other monitors).

The UX501JW will:

- not successfully run both external monitors unless you downgrade the shoddy Intel HD adapter to (the device manager reported) 20.19.15.4549 which, in itself, is aggravating as h*ll since Intel offers the drivers under an apparently different numbering ID scheme (lowlife, very lowlife);

- scramble the location of _any_and_all_ onscreen shortcut icons to one or more external monitors on an apparently random, recurring basis;

- will absolutely not SLEEP *nor* HIBERNATE properly, leading to utterly cold restarts every time one thinks you're going to be restarting your session.

Don't bother. I gave up a long time ago on this and turned it into a simplistic game machine (based on it's GTX 960M capabilities).

What an incredible disappointment.
