    Whenever I try to configure my matrix display, it doesn't pick up my actual laptop monitor as a choice, it's ghosted out, all three displays are the same resolution and hertz, any idea?
    It will let me make the 2 acer's into one large screen, but then my main laptop screen doesn't work at all.

    Yes, I actually have programs that update them, but I manually checked. Everythings up to day, this is a picture of what it looks like.. it knows the monitor is there.. but refuses to let it play. Okay, took a look at that screen shot, it's hard to see, but the bottom one says laptop display.

    Ok, tried that, screen flickers a second, went back to surround sound and it automatically enabled SLI again, I believe I have to have sli enable to even get into that mode.

    Yes, I have read those articles, unfortunately, as you can see by my above picture link, all my display ports come from the 1st graphics card, 2 mini-display ports and an hdmi cable, I have tried switching one of the monitors to the hdmi cable to see if that helped, but alas it does not, I have two of the exact same display external monitors,
    I've read everything I can, i was hoping someone would know of a setting I had wrong. but I guess If i want 3 monitors, they all have to be external.


    additional information, this is on a MSI gt80 titan laptop. not a desktop.

    Yes, I remember you've mentioned it's a GT80.
    Unfortunately I don't have further ideas, except for the HDMI cable. Make sure both of them are valid high speed[1,2] (340MHz) one. ;)
    Good luck!
