How many monitors can you plug into the laptop given the appropriate number of modules? Unlikely to be 4, but is it at least 2 or hopefully 3?

It probably depends on resolution and refresh rate, so you might want to add some details.

You can run 4 4k 60hz monitors simultaneously if you turn off the internal display, or three if you keep the internal display on. The maximum external display resolution is 8k 60hz, but you can't run multiple of those.

Sounds cool.

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad T490 which struggles to drive two 4k displays at reasonable refresh rates. 4k60 + 4k30 is the best I was able to achieve so far (via Thunderbolt and an additional HDMI cable).
