Add the laptop monitor

can you add a monitor without the screen of the laptop turned on, if so, how

Thanks rick

Please post your complete laptop model number and operating system, as well as others can give specific instructions.

Normally you just connect the external monitor, then go to display properties to configure how you want to use the external monitor.

    Hi Jeff,

    The computer manufacturing must have created a partition on the disk or provided you CD to restore the computer to the way it was when you bought it. If you have a PC clone, then probably you need to reformat your hard drive and reinstall the operating system. If you have an OEM computer (example: HP, Dell, ETC) there is most likely instructions when you turn on/off press F11 or F12 to return the computer to the computer.

    Note: Do nothing until you have all of your backup data.

  • The laptop monitor goes black after the external vga connection screen

    Hey,.

    I have a Qosmio G50 - 10H, Windows 7 32-bit. After connecting to an external monitor, the internal laptop display becomes almost black. It is possible to see some items on the screen, but it is dark gray to work on. It does not much adjustment of color or brightness (black to very dark grey). The main problem is when disconnecting the external monitor monitor internal still is dark gray and still does not have many adjustments. It's so dark on the adjustments of brigthest that it is impossible to work. I downloaded the latest version of the driver for the support, but still the same problem.

    Any suggestions?

    It is somewhat strange.
    You can switch between LCD and external monitor by using the FN + F5 key combination?
    If you can switch to the LCD only again everything OK?

  • Add the Second monitor - XPS 8100

    I have a XPS8100 (June 2012) with a Radeon 7570 video card and two monitors Gateway TFT1980PS + (2006 Vintage). I have a problem connecting to the second monitor. I was told that the machine runs two on purchase. Current configuration includes primary monitor in the slot of DVI with an adapter for a VGA splitter cable. When I attach the second monitor splitter cable I get the identical to the new monitor signal but the machine does not recognize a second monitor.  Also if I connect the second VGA/SVGA cable directly on the HDMI output is there nothing more.

    Question: What is the good setup or adapter needs to use two VGA monitors on this machine?

    As you note, you're right, that my machine is a 8500 with map 7570. (woman machine was a 8100).

    The card into the slot (probably the 7570) has the output DVI and my current monitor works through this port.  Now that I look closer, I see the HDMI port on the card. I'll have to find an adapter for the second monitor. At this point I feel quite stupid, like the location of the machine was that I couldn't really see the back that well and did not yet see the HDMI port on the card. Seeing this a few days ago would have save me embarrassment, you and your great tech team some time.

    Thank you

  • Add the second monitor to envy23 touchmart do27c

    Hello

    I recently bought a PC HP TouchSmart of Envy23 of do27c at Costco.

    I also bought an HP LV2311 monitor to add as a secondary monitor.

    I need help to know how I can connect them because on envy, I can not find the connection for the cable I have on the monitor.

    Do I need a special cable or is it possible to connect them?

    Hello

    According to its specifications, Yes. But I have not tried so I'm not sure at 100%.

    Kind regards.

  • Cannot adjust the brightness of the laptop monitor

    I'm not sure when this problem started, but I'm guessing it's when I've updated my graphics driver (Nvidia) or software of the chipset (Intel).

    After a while, I noticed that my brightness keyboard shortcuts were not working, but other hotkeys (touchpad, volume, sleep, wi - fi, bluetooth, etc.) were still working.

    Since I use my laptop for most on my desk with the max brightness settings, I ignored it for a while.

    When I happened to use up the outside of the battery, the monitor went automatically minimum brightness settings.

    I tried to find the brightness slider in the control panel or the mobility Center, but they have been missing.

    The options for the Adaptive brightness disappeared as well.

    Now I don't see a way to adjust the brightness of my.

    I tried a variety of suggestions available on the web, including:

    create a new user account,

    validation of account information,

    Remove and reinstall the driver for the monitor,

    search for 'brilliance' in the start menu,

    re-installation of software hotkey,

    rolling back the graphics drivers and chipset (from those provided by the manufacturer).

    I spoke with a Microsoft support for topic a couple of hours, still no luck (he was very nice anyway).

    If anyone is suggesting the control panel Windows or Nvidia color grading, I don't mean for those, since I need to adjust the brightness of the backlight of the screen, not software-ish of calibration of the colours on the screen.

    I use Windows 7 Ultimate on CLEVO M860TU with monitor Chi Mei N154Z1-L02

    I am looking for a way to restore the brightness sliders, or at least to adjust the brightness manually.

    When I had to happen, I was able to restore by doing this:

    (1) open Device Manager

    (2) right click and uninstall the monitor (not the graphics driver, but the monitor specifically)

    3) click on the "Scan for new hardware" button on the toolbar above

    (4) try to use the brightness slider functions once again (either in Center of energy or mobility settings).

    Has worked for me, I would like to know if it helps you too.

    Thank you!

    Hi @beckinista,

    Thank you for being an active member of the HP's Support Forums.   I understand that you would like to know if you can connect a second computer monitor 23-p110z all-in-One CTO Pavilion.

  • Pavilion 15ab165us computer laptop 15.6: How can I add an external monitor to my laptop HP Pavilion

    I have a Pavilion laptop and want to use an external monitor at home rather than on the laptop monitor.  Is it possible and I can connect it to the USB port on the laptop?

    Hey1950, welcome to the forum.

    Yes, you can use a USB port.  Here is a USB video adapter that should do what you need.  These adapters are designed for USB 2.0. but they make USB 3.0, also.  You can speak with a representative at StarTech to answer your questions about them.

  • When I disconnect the monitor Samsung, laptop monitor loses the office.

    I use a laptop Toshiba Satellite L645-S4102.  I have been using an external Samsung monitor for a while.  I need to use the laptop for a presentation only.

    I can change to the screen of the laptop or use the Samsung monitor and the laptop monitor as long as my computer is connected to the Samsung monitor.

    But, when I disconnect the monitor Samsung, laptop monitor loses the shortcuts on the desktop and the taskbar and shows only the background.  I tried to restart the computer, but the same thing happens.  As soon as I reconnect the Samsung screen, everything happens very well again.  Ideas please.

    Start with the extra monitor connected and used.  Then go to your desktop and follow the instructions below:

    1. Click background, choose the resolution of the screen.
    2. In the graph at the top, click on your laptop screen (if you don't know who is who, click "Identify" and click the monitor displays on the screen of the laptop).
    3. Check the box "use as primary monitor" and then apply the change.

    The bar of tasks and other items still show on the main monitor, so this will ensure that your laptop screen is considered to be the main.

    If necessary (unlikely but it could happen), repeat these 3 steps again when the additional monitor is disconnected.

  • My laptop (Dell Inspiron only 3 months old) is displayed on an external monitor, but not on the laptop screen. I am running Windows 7.

    My laptop (Dell Inspiron only 3 months old) is displayed on an external monitor, but not on the laptop screen. I am running Windows 7. It was running and display very well last night. When I turned on this morning the monitor lit up but show just a gray-white screen and no office. When I attached an external monitor, I could see desktop and all other programs and Windows 7 routines seem to work very well.

    Press the Windows logo key and the p key, and then set up the PC to display on the built-in monitor only cycle through with the arrow key.  You can make this Store if you want - key Windows-p, right arrow once, paused for a few seconds & the laptop monitor should then appear normally.

    You can do so at the end of each session using the external display while you are ready for the use of the laptop on its own later.

  • Satellite U305: can't watch video on the external monitor on Vista with Dynadock

    Hi mates,

    I have a Satellite U305 running Windows Vista, I also bought a VGA Dynadock with HP 20 "external monitor.

    I have uppdated all Dynadock readers (Audio, video, etc.) to the latest version, but DVD-video or MPEG video recorded with my camera is not possible to look at the monitor extended that in the main screen (laptop computer monitor).

    For example, my DVD Toshiba drive works normally on the laptop monitor but when I transfer window extended monitor, Toshiba DVD Player stops to work.
    Video does not work on the extended screen.

    Is this OK or I did something wrong configuration? Is this a bug? If this is a bug, how to fix this bug?

    I'm you worry because I plug a large external monitor to watch a few movies that I can't watch it.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Nilton

    I agree with the snipe of the user. The dynadock is simply not designed to transfer the enormous amount of data that accumulate to watch movies on DVD.
    The USB ports are simply not designed for this

  • Qosmio X 305-bad image on the external monitor quality

    My x 305-701 has excellent image on the original monitor, but if I connect the laptop to Acer 22 ' VGA cable I get a blurry image on the external monitor only.

    It does not matter if I use two monitors at the same time or just the Acer, the external monitor is always blurred the laptop monitor is always perfect. I tried the external monitor in 1440 x 900 and 1680 x 1050 and have adjusted the frequency of refresh of all available parameters, 59 Hz, 60 Hz and 75 Hz, and the blurred image is still there.

    I love this Qosmio and appreciate it even more on the widescreen monitor any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I know that LCD screens are blurry if set to non-native resolution. I think you need to set the correct resolution for the external monitor. Check your external display native resolution and set in display settings.

    Hi mate

    I recommend using the FN + F5 key combination
    You can use it to switch to output the external monitor or TV.
    This key combination supports several options:
    -screen internal + external display
    -external display only
    -TV out
    -etc...

    You have to press FN + F5 several times in order to get the right output.

  • How to disable the Satellite A200-Ah7 screen while using the external monitor

    Is it possible to turn off the monitor on the laptop Toshiba A200-Ah7 while I use a second monitor?

    It's embarrassing to have the laptop monitor on at the same time.

    Thank you.
    Gary

    Hmm, I think that's not possible, but have you tried to press FN + F5 several times?
    Is it only a CRT monitor available?
    The monitor CRT, external display and if only that is available, then you could try to choose this.

    Otherwise, you can close the lid if you do not use the internal monitor
