• Flag 23: connect second monitor

  Is it possible that I can connect another monitor to my 23 pavilion desktop?  What would buy or download?

  Thank you in advance!

  There is no external monitor port, but you can get a connection usb 2.0 or 3.0 (would need the full model number to know that you have) hdmi adapter and connect a second monitor. USB 2.0 adapters tend to be slow and aren't good, even for things like the youtube video but will endeavour to show documents and others. Adapters USB 3.0, on the other hand, do a good job of rendering video.

  It will come with the necessary drivers and once installed correctly it will appear as a second screen that you can clone or extend the desktop.

• Cannot connect two monitors

  For three years, I was able to have two monitors connected using Windows 7. Recently, I tried the upgrade to Windows 8 without success and returned to Windows 7. Now I am unable to get my monitors to work together. I watched the videos here to help me, but I'm unable to drag the pages or even my cursor

  for the second monitor. The connections at the back of the computer appear to be correct. The second monitor is suited with a VGA cable for the connection.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Hello Joseph,.

  Thanks for posting your question on the Forum of the Microsoft community.

  I would be grateful if you can provide us with the following information to determine the root cause of the problem.

  1. What is the number and model of your computer and the graphics card?

  2. Have you tried to monitor primary as secondary and vice versa?

  3. All device drivers are updated?

  Windows can detect automatically that an additional screen. If you connect two or more monitors, you must manually designate the primary display, arrange your desktop, and apply display settings, such as color depth and screen resolution. So, the next time that you connect these monitors, Windows automatically identifies the primary display and applies the settings that you previously specified for each additional display.

  Try the methods mentioned below and see if it helps.

  Method 1

  If you haven't tried Exchange monitors so I suggest you to try and see if the problem still occurs.

  To change the settings of two monitors you can consult the links below:

  Change settings display on multiple monitors

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/change-display-settings-on-multiple-monitors

  Note: This link is also applicable for Windows 7 .

  Method 2

  If the problem persists I suggest you to update the display drivers. As the display drivers for two monitors are not the same, so try to update and check the status.

• ENVY Beats All - In - One Desktop: how to connect a second monitor/TV to HP ENVY Beats all-in-One

  Hi, I was wondering if anyone could tell me if it is even possible to plug a second monitor HP ENVY Beats all-in-one desktop PC, because I'm trying to connect my TV as a second monitor via HDMI, and I tried everything I could, but came empty-handed?

  Hello

  What is the product/model of your AIO machine? I have a lot of cases, you cannot use HDMI port to connect to a TV, because it's the HDMI IN port. You need USB - HDMI converter/adapter to connect to a TV (or monitor).

  Kind regards.

• The second monitor connected to the Satellite Pro A100 "disconnect" himself

  Hello

  I use my laptop - Satellite Pro A100 (PSAACE) - with a second monitor with no problems until I did an upgrade to Windows Vista. After installation, the second monitor starts to show problems, i.e. that works intermittedly. Every 5 seconds or so the monitor "unplug" itelf and caps again. I hear the (UN) plug sound when she did this and the two displays flickers during this period.

  Can someone suggest a solution to this problem?

  I put t know what can be the problem but it sounds like the connection problem. Make sure that the monitor is connected correctly. Also try to test it with another external monitor. Is perhaps the cable or connector defective.

• Connect a second monitor to the all-in-one desire

  Please forgive my ignorance on this subject in advance.

  I just bought a HP Envy all-in-One.  Model 23o014; Product F3E94AA #ABA.  I am running Windows 8.1.   I'm very happy with my purchase so far.

  I also bought an AOC E2470Sw monitor and want to connect it as a second monitor to the all-in-One.

  AOC monitor has a VGA (?-15-pin) connection), but also has two HDMI inputs.  I THOUGHT (with the agreement of my distracted salesman) that I could connect the two with a HDMI connector on both machines, but I get a blank on the AOC screen when I try.

  What I am doing wrong?

  Thank you

  Sally

  Hello...

  The HDMI connector on the base is an entry, not an output. For a second monitor, you will need to go with a USB to video card.

• Connect a second monitor to ATI Radeon HD 5570

  Hi, I just got my HP Pavillion Elite PHE-360z and it works great so far.  My question is that I have two monitors that I would use with the card.  The first monitor is hooked up okay using the DVI connection.  However, the card has also 2 other slots and I don't know what kind of cables go inside.  Looks like it is HDMI and don't know what the other is.  I have a simple cable VGA to my screen else I want to connect to this card, but do not know how to do it.  Any advice would be appreciated!

  Tim

  This article should help you with the connection of two monitors.

  Another your monitor handles other types of connection next to the VGA?

  The video for the HPE-360z 5570 card has DVI, HDMI and Display Port.  You must also have a VGA to PC adapter.

  A Display Port to VGAshould get the VGA signal to your second monitor.  I have not tried this type of adapter.

  It used to work and suddenly collapsed. any help? My only assumption is that the HDMI itself does not work.

  Thank you, Ron.

  Thank you for your answer!

  So finally, problem solved!  I found that when I disable the HD 4600 driver and only allow it, for some reason, that it works and my computer detects the second monitor, if I restart my computer or unplug the HDMI cable I have to toggle thing again... but at least it works!

• HP Pavilion 23-q055na: connect a second monitor to an HP Pavilion 23-q055na all-in-one

  Hello

  I just bought a new HP Pavilion 23-q055na printer all in one and wonder if it is possible to connect a second monitor. It has an HDMI output, but my second monitor had a DVI connection (DVI - D single link).

  It doesn't seem to be DVI to HDMI converters for sale online, but I don't want to lose my money if it's not going to work.

  Anyone has any advice on the best way to connect a second monitor to this PC?

  Thank you

  Ali

  Hi there @Haikugirl

  The best choice for you would be a screen that supports a HDMI input you don't need to work with an adapter, at all.  However, there are adapters on the market due to the fact that many adapters are often necessary, and I used the flavors varied in many different situations with great success. In general, I would do some research on the specific device and the brand and are looking for comments before you plan to buy an adapter.

  It can never be guaranteed that any device will work in all cases, but if you find a device from a renowned manufacturer, then chances are strongly in your favor.

  I would like to begin by ensuring that the DVI input on the monitor works well, before considering an adapter. If it is intermittent in some way, then it is probably not your best choice.

  Just my two cents. I hope it helps.
