Hi,

Looking for a bit of advice on how best to connect a Lenovo Legion Y545 with two (so-far) Dell U2412M monitors - and getting confused.

I currently have a mini-DisplayPort to DisplayPort splitter, but i think it is causing strange intermittment black-screens of the monitors: they suddenly cut out.

Before replacing it, i wanted to check if this was the best combo. Mainly used as a work station with occasional light gaming.

The laptop has a single Mini DisplayPort, an HDMI, three Type A USB and 1 Type C USB. The monitors have DVI-D, DisplayPort and VGA....

Any suggestions appreciated!!
 
But what i can't figure out is how to do two of them. One Mini DP to DP, and another with a different combo? A splitter?!

Feel very dumb at being unable to figure this out!
 
It’s the most straightforward option. All passive so nothing much to go wrong.

The choice of connection type isn’t going to affect the image.
