    Hi all. I'm sure this has been answered somewhere but I can't, for the life of me, find it through search.

    The P650Sx/NP865x platform has 1x HDMI and 2x MiniDisplayPort ports on the output. I'm trying to figure out if, out the the box, it will support 3 external monitor setups on those 3 ports.

    IIRC, the ports are all connected to the Intel GPU, so you should be able to use all three with external displays as long as you disable the internal LCD on the notebook.

    that is correct, the internal display has to be disabled in order to be able to make full use of three external displays. i dont remember though, if any special active converters / cables are necessary / required for such a configuration... meaker? :p
