Hi All,
I hope someone can help. I have put it to Asus experts, the manufacturer of my laptop and they cant help.
I have just bought an Asus Zenook Flip 14 UM462DA.
I have 3 Asus VS247NR monitors each with VGA and DVI-D ports.
I need to connect it all up! My current set up with an old Lenovo Ideapad-500 works fine to the 3 different ports on the laptop:
1) DVI to VGA, 2) DVI to HDMI, 3) DVI to displayport to USB

The new Zenbook has
  • USB 3.2 Gen 1
  • HDM
  • USB-C 3.2 Gen 1
  • USB 2.0

Asus told me that:
"...unfortunately this device does not support monitor output through the Type C port. This means you would have only the HDMI port to work with to connect the monitors to and unfortunately I do not believe an adapter will help for 3 monitors, as the port on the device itself would not have the needed bandwidth. I am really sorry about this but there is not a way to connect 3 monitors to this device."

Is there anyone who can advise me differently? i'd hate to have to return the Zenbook now but unless I can connect all 3 monitors, I'm a bit stuck
Many thanks
Mo
