Hi Scott Hodges,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum. I'm happy to help.

Windows does support multiple monitors, and you can setup 3 monitors easily with position customization.

Regarding your information, your card has 3 x HDMI and 1 x DP, you can connect 3 monitors by HDMI or 2 HDMI and 1 DP. Then you may customize their resolution, main, position, etc. individually.

You may follow this guide to understand the settings: How to Connect 3 Monitors to a Computer.

Hi,

In this case, you'll need to connect two other monitors via DP (displayport). Check the settings; don't use an HDMI adapter to mirror to 3 monitors, you won't be able to extend the display.

What are the model numbers of the other two monitors?

Thanks

Answer 4

To extend your three monitors in Windows 11, follow these steps:

1. Connect Your Monitors: Ensure that all three monitors are connected to your PC. Since you have an AMD Radeon RX 7600 graphics card, you can use the HDMI and DisplayPort outputs to connect your monitors.
2. Open Display Settings: Right-click on the desktop and select Display settings from the context menu.
3. Identify Monitors: In the Display settings window, click on the Identify button. This will show numbers on your monitors, helping you understand which is which.
4. Arrange Monitors: Drag and drop the monitor icons to arrange them as they are physically positioned on your desk. Make sure the 32" Aiwa monitor is in the center if you want it to be your main screen.
5. Set Main Display: Click on the monitor you want to set as the main display (the Aiwa monitor). Scroll down to find the option Make this my main display and check it. This will ensure that your taskbar and main applications open on this monitor.
6. Extend Displays: Under the Multiple displays section, select Extend these displays from the dropdown menu. This will allow you to use all three monitors as one extended desktop.
7. Apply Changes: Click Apply to save your settings. You should now be able to move windows between all three monitors, with the Aiwa monitor as your main display.
8. Adjust Resolution: If necessary, adjust the resolution for each monitor to ensure optimal display quality.

By following these steps, you will be able to extend your desktop across all three monitors while having the Aiwa monitor as your main screen. You can then open different applications on the other two monitors as needed.
