Would need to know your laptop make model and specs, I doubt you have the required ports available for surround and the power to run it decently.

You probably don't have the ports for it.

No. Those are switches or splitters.

Yes. Then you can use both the build-in monitor and the external one. Giving you 2 monitors.

A 1050 isn't going to game well on more than 1 monitor unless you just want it for productivity.

Most games don't support multi monitor anyway.
