Currently have 14 external monitors connected to my notebook computer
We had a direct lightning strike last evening and it damaged 2 of my external USB2HDMI cards. Fortunately I had 2 more, and I've ordered 3 more and 6 more cables. Need to get this back on my main tower, but had too many problems today and opted to use the notebook for the day.
14 external monitors on a notebook. |

great, you have 14 virtual windows sessions running at the same time. I imagine you're rebooting every 90 seconds.
Nothing quite like seeing the blue screen of death sprawled over multiple monitors. |

While the video card in the notebook is about as robust as you can find, the trick to this quantity of monitors is to get an external USB 3.0 hub and a whole bunch of J5 Create USB3 to HDMI adapters. Each adapter hosts two monitors.

This is a wonderful development.
Not the lightning strike. |

Your cable management skills are top notch. So at what point do you max out the bandwidth of the USB bus? :lurk: |

No wonder you were able to do this. You had Aerovette come over and wire it all up. Hope he wore a mask while he was there.

Don't give me shit about the cables. This was a panic response to the lightning strike last night. As far as maxing out the USB bus, I'll get back to you. I should be able to attempt to have all 18 external monitors connected to the notebook this weekend.

So.......do you occasionally have this perception of yourself when overwhelmed a bit?

Jeeeezus. Might want to call an exterminator. Judging from that rat's nest, you've got a major infestation...
