Not sure of the exact model. It's a Dell.
This is what I have on one side:

Thanks for the reply.
A lot of that goes straight over my head, sorry!
It will be displaying a browser on one probably, adobe suite on the main and something else on the other, maybe a folder etc. I'm not using it for gaming or anything like that.
I know this is a big ask, but could anyone point me in the right direction of the product(s) I would need, say on Amazon(UK)?
Thanks everyone for your time, I really appreciate it.

I see, thanks for looking into that.
I understand teh Dell might be better for this laptop, but I will probably be switching to a newer laptop which isn't a Dell, so hoping the one I buy will work with thar.
Would you say this one would do the job:
If I were to buy and test it?
Thanks for the heads-up too, I have removed the link.

Thanks, I have found this one:
Would this do the job? How does it allow three displays if there are only two HDMI ports? Probably being stupid here!
Thanks!

I've also found this one which seems to say it will do the job:
It lists the Dell "Laptop 5590" and mine is the Inspiron 5580 - I guess this will again be a try and test?

Ok, so I have now have a dock with 2 HDMI ports and 1 VGA port. I can link up two monitors which work, but I cannot get the third one to work.
What's happening is I have three screens, but one of them is the laptop screen. I guess I need to know if there is a way to get the laptop screen onto the third screen?
Is this possible or do I need to buy another item?
Thanks for your help
