first time posting and owning an MSI monitor. I just built a new pc and set up my new desk. My desk is a large L shaped desk with my monitor on one part and the pc on the other. I am looking to get a multimonitor setup in the near future with 3 monitors total. My main monitor that I bought and have set up is this:

MSI MPG 321URX QD-OLED 32" 16:9, QD-OLED Gaming Monitor, 240Hz 0.03ms, 3840 x 2160 (UHD), Height Adjustable Arm, RGB, AI ENGINE​


I have several questions:
1) because of the size of my desk the cable that came with my monitor is kind of maxed on on the distance to reach my pc and has to lay across my desk. This makes cable management impossible. Does MSI sell longer cords to connect to the GPU? are there other ones at best buy or amazon that are longer and wont affect performance of the monitor? Id like to plug into the monitor than track the cable to a cable management trough under the desk and then back up to the pc so it is out of site.

2) which cable is preferred to use the hdmi or the display port cable that came with the pc? it is connected directly to the gpu currently.

3) any suggestions for 2 additional monitors to use with this as the main monitor? looking for cheaper ones to just use for web browsers, youtube etc. but would like thin bezzles that would match the monitor too look seemless just not cost as much.

Thanks.
 
1.MSI should be not longer cable.
2.I think DP cable is better.
3.Please modify both setting value under OSD menu when you are want connecting more monitor on one system.
3-1.Please refer manual on page 16 and modify "Auto Scan" to OFF.
3-2.Please refer manual on page 19 and modify "Power Button" to Standby.
