Hi Guys,
I have the following setup:
For home use, a Desktop PC with 2 x Dell U2717D Monitors. I have the monitors set up as a Daisychain and it works perfectly.

What I would like to do is when I am WFH with my laptop, I would like to connect my laptop to the two monitors so I essentially have 3 screens (1 laptop + 2 X Dell U2717D). My work laptop is an X1 ThinkPad Yoga 3rd Gen. The laptop has HDMI out and Thunderbolt 3 (for which I have this Adaptor). Does anyone know how I would do this with the current hardware that I have?

Many thanks!!
 
Am I missing something here? I see the monitor uses DisplayPort Out for its daisy chain capability, and the Thunderbolt 3 adapter you linked has DisplayPort output on it, so presumably just do laptop thunderbolt to the adapter, adapter displayport to the first monitor, then first monitor to second monitor.

HDMI doesn't have daisy chain capability as far as I am aware, so that would be the only way.
