Not a very good computer person. Desired setup is to have 3 screens Screen #1 the CPU screen, Screen #2 The Projector Screen, Screen #3 a Smart TV in the Sim room. What I want is to show the SkyTrak golf on all 3 screens majority of the time and then when necessary change the TV to a good football game or whatever. My current setup has HDMI plug from CPU monitor to CPU , HDMI plug from CPU to Projector, Wirelessly connected from CPU to TV. The Issue is Windows is only allowing me the option to Duplicate two of the screens, therefore I cannot show the golf on all 3. I have tried running an output cable from the projector to the hdmi port on the TV and disconnecting the TV from the computer, does not work. I have also tried just hooking the tv up to the CPU and then running an HDMI from the TV to the projector to just project whats on the screen of the TV, does not work. What am I doing wrong and why can I not just duplicate 3 screens??? Any help would be much appreciated

I would suggest keeping the 3 monitors on separate outputs for maximum versatility and using a program like OnTopReplica when you want to duplicate one screen on to the other(s). In my setup, I have 4 TVs, 1 PC monitor, an AV Receiver, and 1 projector screen. My PC has 4 outputs - 1 to the monitor, two to 2 different TVs, and 1 to the AV receiver which feeds the projector screen. The AV Receiver has dual HDMI outputs, so one goes to projector screen and the other to a TV for a duplicate. On one of the PC outputs, I connect to an HDMI splitter which feeds TV 1 and TV 4.
So the projector and TV 2 are duplicates of the golf sim software; and TV 1 and TV 4 are duplicates of whatever TV channel i have on. On TV 3 i have my Uneekor launch monitor data.
I use OnTopReplica when a game is on and I want to have it on every screen. The program is real simple, it lets you select what program/window you want to duplicate and then you can drag it over to the screen you want it on and Maximize it. -
The issue isn't that it cannot duplicate to more than 2 displays, it just cannot do it wirelessly. Depends how complicated you want to get, how many ports your GPU has and and how often you want something other than your Skytrak on a screen.- If you can run a cable from an additional port to your TV monitor, than this would be the easiest path - than you can duplicate the primary displays on each monitor.
- Next easiest way to get what you describe is with a splitter. One output from your computer, then to a 3 or 4-way splitter which will send the primary input to each display, on the TV out put you would need to connect to a wireless transmitter of some sort to wirelessly connect to the TV. If you want something else on a specific screen run a separate cable to it from the source and use the monitors input selection to see the new source. Alternatively, there are more complex (and expensive) splitters which can take multiple inputs and send different inputs to different displays, some duplicates, some others.
- Lastly, and most expensively, a high quality AVR will have at least two if not three outputs and can obviously take many inputs. Depending on the AVR you can watch up to three different sources, one per 'zone'. Not sure if there are any AVRs with a wireless connection capability (that would be cool) but again, there are several wireless transmitters which can be used on the output.
