I have already used the VGA connection for an external connection to a larger monitor for my laptop(DELL Latitude E6400). I have an HDMI connection on the laptop which needed an adapter and an HDMI cable which I've hooked to my TV - RCA. However, I cannot get the TV to work. I followed all the instructions in this forum and they work for the laptop's own monitor and the external monitor I've hooked up, but can I hook up yet a third - the TV? I'm really only using it for Netflix, so should I simply get a cheapie older PSI, Xbox or????
Your help is most appreciated.

Hi MochaMike,
Latitude E6400 does not have HDMI port; it is a "DisplayPort". Please use a "Display Port to HDMI" cable. Click here to see image of one such cable. Moreover, you cannot configure multiple displays without an adapter like "Matrox DualHead2Go Digital SE external multi-display adapter" or a similar adapter. You can know more about this from here.
Please revert for clarification.
