  You define 'Action close lid' to the 'status quo' instead of sleep or Shut down:
  Go to-> double click "Power Options" Control Panel-> 'Select a power plan' under your selected plan, click "Change plan settings"-> "Change plan", click on the blue link 'Change advanced power'-> in 'Advanced settings' tab expand "power buttons and lid"-> extend the action of the 'close' lid, set "on battery" and "Plugged in" to "Do nothing"-> click apply-> OK button

• Adding a second monitor to HP Compaq Pro 6300 AiO

  I would like to add a second monitor to my HP Compaq Pro 6300 AiO, but it doesn't have a RGB port. The extra monitor I want to add is the HP L1750, but I don't know what cable to buy or if it's possible?

  The required cable is a displayport to VGA or DVI or HDMI connector to connect to a second screen with an HDMI input.

• Adding a second monitor

  I have a HP Pavilion Slimline computer s5000 running Windows 7. I want to add a second monitor. Do I need to add another compatible video card to run the second monitor (the second monitor is a 42 '' Vizio LCD TV), or the new video card runs two screens?

  Please pay attention to the score on the video description:
  NOTE: * built into the graphics card or the card PCI Express x 16 slot are usable at once; they can not be used simultaneously.

  So, either use the usb option or choose a graphics card that supports the inputs of your monitors.
  If they are identically you need two, you cannot use your current Interior!

• Adding a second monitor to MBP

  I have a MBP end model. I've set up an external monitor. What I see on the screen is the same thing I see on the screen of the monitor MBP. I would like to put in place so that they are two separate screens. In other words, where I'll be able to drag things from one screen to the other.

  In display settings, I have mirrored. I tried both ways, in and out of mirror mode. But the two ways that I always see the same thing in both monitors.

  Can someone please?

  Thank you!

  In display settings, I have mirrored. I tried both ways, in and out of mirror mode. But the two ways that I always see the same thing in both monitors.

  Clear the check box

  [√] mirror displays

  the available pane should get one like this:

  

  It is the main display (with the menu bar) is arranged to the left of your secondary display. and their tops are aligned. You can have the same background on each, but open a window and things will change.

  If you have the displays placed differently on your bench, drag the icons to reflect the correct relation in space.

  The mouse moves freely across the border between the displays and can drag a window with it.

• U2414H, Dual, laptop, Windows 10, Nvidia GTX 960 M, no STDS to the second monitor?

  Hi all

  I hope that I have included all relevant information in the present, but ask if I missed something. I bought two of the screens U2414H and a Windows 10 laptop computer powered by GTX 960 M with HDMI and Mini DP ports. My goal was to be able to the Garland of the whole U2414H screens so I could use my laptop out and about, and when connection back to the monitors of would have to plug in a cable and get two screens. In theory, but...

  I followed the instructions and using two Mini-DP to DP cables, connected the mini laptop RFP RFP on the first screen. DP on this same screen highlights Mini DP on the second monitor. I activated the DisplayPort 1.2 on both of these screens. I can't get any signal on the second monitor, it boils down to the power saving mode.

  Otherwise, I decided I would try using two cables and ditch the idea of DP STD I can at least use the two screens. So I have laptop HDMI to a screen and the MiniDP to another, and therefore, that alone will never work at a time. Individually, they work very well, both with HDMI or DP. But the two connection fails every time. When I tried to connect a display of alternative supporting HDMI as the second, which works very well.

  So I had an autour reading and it seems that it is common to have problems of connectivity to these screens. This brings me well on my two questions:

  (1) is there something that would work?

  (2) assuming that there is nothing that works, Dell can swap these screens for two that will achieve what I need?

  Thank you

  Dave

  In MST, DP 1.2 should be turned off (disabled) on the second monitor.

  Laptop AMD on--> U2414H CDM to cable DP--> DP U2414H #1 in (DP 1.2 enabled) (Port #3 in the image)

  
  #1 U2414H (Port #5 in photo) DP--> DP U2414H CDM cable--> 2 # U2414H CDM in (DP 1.2 disabled) (Port #4 in photo)

  When you use only no STDS, is the lid of the laptop open all trying to run two monitors of U2414H? This laptop can even run three screens, laptop LCD + 1 # U2414H + 2 # U2414H?

• HDMI is not send the signal on external monitor once the laptop awakens from his sleep

  I have my TV as a second monitor for my laptop. I connected via HDMI. Once I leave my laptop a little past in mode 'sleep' and the screen loses the connection. Once I wake up the laptop, the monitor is not turning back on my desktop. It remains off. I disconnect and reconnect the HDMI and it does nothing. During this operation, my laptop screen flickers as when he connects to it, but nothing happens. My TV does not receive the signal, but the laptop says it's connected. What can I do to fix this? Thank you

  PS. I have to restart my laptop each time to allow to work my external monitor.

• HP ENVY laptop - 15-ae178ca: Second monitor stopped working after the automatic update of HP

  I use my laptop with a second monitor (HP Pavillion 22xw) connected by HDMI. It was working fine until yesterday (including yesterday it worked), when a message from automatic upgrade HP was shown to informing him that the system needs to be restarted. After that, my second monitor stopped working. The system will not identify it more. I tried another cable, I rebooted several times, I tried to update the specific Intel graphics driver, I tried to uninstall and install manually another (I can't get this one done, because when I run manually downloaded driver there is a message saying that I need to contact the manufacturer). Please notify that I need my second monitor is fully functional!

  Hello @MAlex_B,

  Thank you for visiting the Forums from the HP Support! The forums are a great place where you can find solutions for your problems, with the help of the community!

  I understand that you have a problem with the display and wanted to help you!  I see only after an update, the external monitor no longer works.

  Given that this problem happened recently, have you tried to perform a System Restore, to define the notebook to its previous working state?  If this does not work, have you tried to update the drivers of graphics Chipset and BIOS on the HP website directly?  You can find the drivers for you product here: drivers - HP's ENVY for laptop - 15-ae178ca

  Please post back with the results.  Let me know if this information helps you solve the problem by marking this message as 'accept as Solution', this will help others easily find the information they seek.  In addition, by clicking on the Thumbs up below is a great way to say thank you!

  Have a great day!

• Using a laptop as a second monitor?

  I bought a new laptop (Dell Inspiron 17120) and want to add a second monitor (between the two desktop sharing).  Is it possible to use my old laptop (Dell Inspiron 8600) as the additional monitor?  I have the cable and they are connected to each other and they say that they recognize the new monitor, but I can't get that to extend the desktop.  Any help would be greatly appreciated - even if it's to say that there is no way that the laptop can act as an additional monitor.  Thank you

  No, this is not possible.  There is no video input on your laptop so that it can be used in this way.
