  • 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

    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?

  • Installation of the driver software window opens on the second monitor in a dual monitor extended installation of the monitor

    The "Software Installation" window will open on the second monitor in a dual monitor extended installation of the monitor

    I have a dual display setup. A 225WS 1680 x 1050 monitor LG is connected via a VGA cable and a VGA - DVI converter to a DVI port on a Radeon 6850 video card. The second screen is a Samsung HDTV set at 1920 x 1080 and connected via HDMI on the same video card. I have set up the screen LCD as main monitor and the Samsung HDTV as the extended display. HDTV is most of the time, but I use it at least once a day. This isn't a driver problem, because it happened also when I had an old Nvidia video card and it is fixed by a new installation of windows and setting up of screens from a square.

    The installer works great almost all the time except when I try to use some programs or Windows functions (7). When I try to start the MozBackup application or I pop in a new usb device and click on the notification bubble, both these windows (MozBackup and the "Driver software Installation" window) open in the center of the HDTV as opposed to the LCD (which is defined as primary). The problem is that the views are ~ 3 meters out and HDTV is mostly off.

    I sent a bug report to the developer of MozBackup because this part is perhaps a problem with its software or what old Windows functions and hooks it uses, but the window "Installing the driver software" (or who knows what other program Windows Basic) has exactly the same problem and is part of Windows.

    What can I do about it? I DIDN'T put the displays in any mode "clone" to have office in mirror between them. Is - this fixable somehow? I guess that is not a problem with the video card drivers because I used two different video cards with either the manufacturer or windows update drivers and the problem is the same.

    I'm talking about a window similar to this one
     
    http://jaunty-electronics.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Freedom_FRDM-KL25Z_driver_install.PNG

    Try changing the backup.ini

    you find it in

    .. \Program files (x86)\MozBackup\backup.ini

    Open the file backup.ini with editor

    Check if you have the rights to save the changed files in this directory. You may need to change the Directory rights

    Change the value of "1": monitor

    wyzodir =

    ; Monitor: the monitor number where MozBackup window will appear

    monitor =1

    '2' or whatever the value of your primary monitor is:

    wyzodir =

    ; Monitor: the monitor number where MozBackup window will appear

    monitor =2

    System main screen could be identified as '1 '. If you have changed the monitors, it can be used internally '2 '.

    ==================================

    You may need to update your display and video driver

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded: run DriverView - define the VIEW
    for the drivers Microsoft hide - updated those without drain in their names. (Also updated
    the BIOS and chipset drivers.)

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
    For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
    Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
    video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
    cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
    This will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
    own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
    (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and software)
    updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
    because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
    pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
    Updates, this leaves ONE of Windows updates, but it will not install the drivers who will be generally
    be older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it) and
    Then, get new ones manually if you wish.

  • Win 8/IE 10: video Flash in mode full screen in dual monitor; video freezes on the second monitor

    All,

    At the launch of a Flash video in full screen when you are using two monitors, the video freezes at a still image on the second monitor. This happens in mirror and screen extended mode images.  The video continues to play normally on the first screen, and the audio continues normally as well.  This problem appears only during playback of the video using Internet Explorer, do not not Firefox.

    This seems to be a software problem, not memory or devices.  To be clear, the video is not stutter. rather, it freezes at a still image. I didn't have this problem using internet explore with the same configuration until I upgraded my laptop Windows 8.

    Here is my configuration:

    Windows 8. Internet Explore 10.

    Shockwave Flash Object: 11.6.602.167

    ASUS laptop computer connected to a HD LED TV via HDMI.

    GeForce GT650M graphics card.

    Core i7 and 8 GB of RAM.

    You think, what is happening? Troubleshooting ideas? Thank you.

    I just gave it a try on my setup triple monitor, but could not reproduce the problem.  I tried both stretching and duplicate the work stations, but they all work as expected.  If Firefox works well, then I wouldn't suspect your video driver but it is probably useful to take a look without worrying to do of course, you have the latest driver installed.  Then, try to temporarily disable hardware acceleration to see if that makes a difference.

  • 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?

    Concerning

    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.

  • Scrolling Web page very slow on the second monitor

    I have two monitors. When I move the window of firefox for the second monitor - scrolling of web pages is very slow. Sometimes he computer freeze (I can't move the mouse cursor).
    I checked the other applications such as MS Word, Chrome.
    This problem is only firefox problem.

    This problem apears when the part of the firefox window shows on the second monitor (or even 50 pixels)

    Hey, I had the same problem and I solved it:
    1. - in the Firefox menu, display the Tools/Options.
    2. - unselect the checkbox "use hardware acceleration when available.
    This should work better now. Apparently the hardware acceleration makes the problems only when the windows of Firefox appears in a non-primary screen (don't know why). I suppose you know, but if you want to change your primary monitor you can do it from settings (right click on the desktop, then properties).
    Good luck!
