EliteBook 8540w: two external screens on an EliteBook8540w - is it Possible?

Hello fellow users of HP laptop

I own an EliteBook 8540w .

Here are the detailed specifications of the box.

Processor type: Mobile Quad Core Intel Core i7-740QM, 2100 MHz (16 x 131)

Card mother name: Hewlett-Packard HP EliteBook 8540w

Motherboard Chipset: Intel Ibex Peak - M QM57, Intel Clarksfield

System memory: 8119 MB (DDR3 - 1333 DDR3 SDRAM)

DIMM1: Samsung M471B5273CH0-CH9 4 GB DDR3-1333 DDR3 SDRAM (9-9-9-24 @ 666 MHz) (8-8-8-22 @ 609 MHz) (7-7-7-20 @ 533 MHz) (6-6-6-17 @ 457 MHz) (5-5-5-14 @ 380 MHz)

DIMM2: Samsung M471B5273CH0-CH9 4 GB DDR3-1333 DDR3 SDRAM (9-9-9-24 @ 666 MHz) (8-8-8-22 @ 609 MHz) (7-7-7-20 @ 533 MHz) (6-6-6-17 @ 457 MHz) (5-5-5-14 @ 380 MHz)

Video card: NVIDIA Quadro FX 1800 M (1 GB)

Monitors:

Ideally, I would like to connect two Dell 2412 M. Is this possible or am I looking for something specific when it connects monitors?

I guess I can connect a monitor to the VGA connector and the other via the DisplayPort connection, right?

Thank you for your help and your time.

Best regards

W9Y

Need help is no longer.

Find all the info, I needed to here which lead me to here and Yes, apparently it is possible.

Citing the second link:

The EliteBook 2540p, 8440p/w, 8540p /w (with NVIDIA graphics card), 8740w (with NVIDIA graphics), 644Xb, 645Xb, 654Xb, 655Xb ProBook can produce up to a maximum of two screens in clone or extended mode via the integrated VGA and DisplayPort (DP) or via the VGA, DVI and DP on the docking station there. The laptop screen is counted as a poster so that if it is used, a single external display can be used. If the laptop screen is not used, two external displays can be used.

Finally no less I would like to mention that I was using "f.lux" lately, a great addition to the work in front of screens after sunset. Software removes the blue light of the screen after the sunset and this then simulates the light of the evening which, unlike the light of the Sun, does not your body and most of the brain all think it's day and so more alert.

This new way you can spread your screen after working more at night or after sunset and get to sleep more quickly since your brain is not listening to 'daylight' and therefore alert and awake but the faster ready evening light to himself to sleep. Sleep of the night people. Sleepling enough is just as important as good eating and exercise.

Took a little time to get used to but now I couldn't imagine a screen in the evening without it. Kevin edited my last answer where a direct link with this piece of genius was related, but if you're looking for f.lux online you will find as soon as POSSIBLE. I hope it's OK to mention this fact for other users working in front of the screens. Thank you Kevin for not taking this information a second time, is there no direct link this time.

If you want to learn more about the blue light and its effects and learn to see yourself check out this article on ScienceDaily, a revelation.

  • Several external screens with Dell Precision M4700

    I just got a M4700 of precision with 8 64-bit Windows and graphics of AMD over-pants M4000. According to the Dell site and other articles I read, in addition to the built-in screen of the laptop, I should be able to connect to two other screens without the docking station or five other screens with a docking station. However, until now I couldn't get an external display to work even if I use the docking station. If I use certain ports, I can get two external displays to work, but only if I disable the built-in screen.

    Without the base, the laptop has a HDMI, a VGA, and a DisplayPort. I tried to connect my two external monitors to these ports in all possible combinations. Whenever I connect the external second monitor it is detected in the 'Screen Resolution' windows dialog but default to disabled. If I try to turn on the display, then click 'Apply' then I get this message:

    "The display settings could not be saved. Please try another combination of display settings. »

    After that first of all, I got this problem with the default drivers preinstalled by Dell, I tried updating to the latest driver available on the AMD website and I always get the same question.

    Any ideas are much appreciated.

    I solved the problem. AMD Eyefinity cards require that you are using DisplayPort but it supports up to two "legacy" displays (DVI, VGA, etc.). The built-in computer screen is considered a single existing screen, it allows only to another non - DP monitor. I was using DisplayPort but I connect to a DVI monitor using a PASSIVE adapter. If the adapter is passive then the video card output still a DVI signal and causing count her among the existing views. I had two ACTIVE DP to DVI converters and now I have three monitors + built-in screen and it works fine.

  • The two external monitors show the same screen

    original title: using 2 external monitors on a laptop using Dynadock U10 problems

    Hi guys,.

    I try to use two external monitors using my a Dynadock U10..., I bought because it says you can use two external monitors with it!

    I installed the drivers for Displaylink etc.

    I plugged both monitors to the Dynadock (one via the VGA input) and one through DVI. When I have my laptop open it using cell phone as main screen and extends the office to both monitors, but both monitors have the same screen. If I identify screens, the laptop screen is 1 'and the monitors are the two 3'.

    If I close the laptop (I put the settings to not do anything if the lid is closed) and select my monitor as the main screen, they still both have the same image and the settins wont let me go to another screen. If I identify the screens, the two screens are developed under the number "1".

    I use Windows Vista. My laptop graphics card is "ATI Radeon 3100 Graphics"

    Any help would be appreciated!

    See you soon,.

    Your video card is not serious with this home solution 'USB '.

    Toshiba is your point of contact.

    However - to answer your question - as much as I know you cannot do what you are trying to do.  You can use both outputs monitor, but the results you see are what you would expect.

  • EliteBook 8540w black screen and lights

    Hello, first of all sorry for my bad English.

    I have this Elitebook 8540w, who suddenly shows this problem: when I try it lights up, the screen remains black and all the leds on the switch cover are active. The wireless and the power led on the front are also active, while the disc and the electrical connection led are disabled. The fan is too active.

    That's what I tried:

    -Works with only the battery or cable

    -Reset the bios, remove the RTC battery

    -Change the RAM

    -Remove the internal Sata Drive

    -Remove the battery and cable, press and hold the power button for a minute and then install the battery and power upwards

    None of these actions has had some effect. What should I do?

    Thank you

  • EliteBook 8460p and external monitor/projector does not work

    We have several 8460 with the same question.

    They work fine until you try to connect to an external monitor/TV/projector and then the trouble begins.

    When you use Fn + F4 to establish a dual monitor output the external monitor and integrated display switches between the two, as if the PC cannot determine the display to use. On rare occasions, it works but it is not reliable. I ve it first met on a fair and when I tried it before the session, it worked fine. During the session it just started this behavior. I took it out and replaced the graphics drivers, BIOS and made sure that the resolution was not the issue. It worked fine and I returned it to the room of the lesson and he did it again.

    I started to believe that the projector was the wrong part here, so I didn't want to use the PC again on this fair, but no other computer shows no signs of distress.

    Since then, it was at the beginning of this spring, I ve seen and experienced the same problem with several computers of the same type and with different monitor and they all behave in the same way.

    I have spent some time now and searched the web but found nothing I ve doesn't explain anything around it and so far no update driver, and no other updates (including a full installation) has solved this problem.

    There are the HP Elitebook 8460p with AMD graphics card in the computer.

    There is no any other indication that something isn't going to the newspaper or whatever it is.

    Any suggestion of what may be the cause of this is useful.

    Hello and thanks for the reply.

    The original problem is old, from 2012, in fact and more or less no longer applies. Some of the more troublesome computers has been replaced with other models at the time and the 8460 p is used more or less entirely users who do not have the need for external screens.

    Have not seen it since a long time but we've updated the BIOS and drivers a couple of times so the current status is in fact "stable".

    Thus, we can say that the problem is not more, but whatever solved the problem is unknown.

  • Two external LCD on Satellite Pro P100-324

    Hello friends

    I have the Satellite Pro P100-324 with GeForce Go 7900 GS graphics card. I need to work with two external LCD screens. A primary and secondary as secondary in DualView. But it does not work under Windows XP SP2. In Vista Home Basic, it works normally. Is it possible to work on this laptop Windows XP with two monitors external sith DualView mode?

    Thank you.

    Stand by. You tell me that you can run two external displays connected to your Satellite P100?

    Can you please tell me how you have connected both of them and how you can switch on the two external displays?
    As far as I know it is possible to use a single external screen, but two at the same time

  • Charger for Elitebook 8540W

    I got a charger 462602-001.

    Now, I wonder if it works with my Elitebook 8540w.

    I was looking for information, but I can't find my cell phone in the list.

    The that I find is the 8510w and even I know it's the same card for both.

    Can I use it?

    Hello

    It is a 90W charger and the 8540W can use:

    • Outside 150 W Smart adapter
    • External 120 W Smart adapter
    • External 90 W Smart adapter
    His blood pressure is perhaps a little weak, but you can use it before I buy a new charger.

  • Portege Z30 - need to extend the display on two external displays

    Hi all

    I'm running Bloomberg and need the image to extend on the screens LCD HD complete two 24 ". Including my current laptop's built-in display, I use three panels at the same time. I can do with the Z30 1 CZ? Should I buy a docking station for that?

    Right now I use a ultrabook from another manufacturer but I'm not satisfied with the reasons that have nothing to do with the display. Currently, I use a docking station, where a screen connects by DVI and one VGA cable.

    Can I use the VGA and HDMI from laptop ports to get the same solution with the Z30?
    Best wishes
    Peter

    To my knowledge the display function depends on the graphics card/chip.

    Usually, you can use a VGA or HDMI output.
    VGA (RGB) port provides analog, HDMI provides digital signals, and as far as I know, you can't use both at the same time

    However, you could buy a "hdmi adapter usb adapter allowing you to use two external monitors simultaneously.

  • Tecra A9 and express port replicator - two external monitors

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Tecra A9 laptop and a Toshiba express port replicator, the Replicator has two outputs DVI & VGA, but I just can't seam to allow them both to use my funds rather than 1 desktop computer screens and the screen of the laptop.

    Is this possible?

    See you soon

    Ash.

    As far as I know that something like this is not possible. The video signal may not be spited and sent to two video output ports. If you want to use two external monitors, you need an additional video source as Toshiba Dynadock or another solution.

  • Two external monitors can be connected to the docking station?

    Is it possible to connect two external monitors to a docking of HP 2740? If so, how it is with 1 single VGA port on the docking station. The tablet which is embodied is a HP Elitebook 2760P.

    Yes, you got that right.

  • Re: Can I connect two external monitors to my Tecra M7?

    I have a Tecra M7, I would put up two external monitors. I install one on the VGA port and one DVI port and I try to extend the monitor overall, but the only option I have is to an external monitor and the screen of the tablet itself.

    Anyone have any ideas on how to solve this problem?

    As far as I know that something like this is not possible. Graphics card can send the signal on a port only, VGA or DVI.
    If you want to use two external monitors, you need an external device, such as Toshiba Dynadock (docking station USB with VGA or DVI port). Using the docking station, you will have three monitors shown in display properties. We will be connected directly to the laptop and the second on this docking station.

  • Satellite P100: Can I connect two external monitor to the VGA & DVI port at the same time?

    Satellite P100 comes with two port external monitor. One VGA and one DVI. Can you have two external monitor works at the same time? Can you have two external monitor as well as your internal screen working at the same time (for a total of 3 screen at the same time?

    Here's what I confirm:

    Internal display + display DVI connector
    OR
    Internal display + screen VGA connector

    Is it possible to have:

    Display connector DVI + VGA connector display?

    OR

    Display connector DVI + VGA connector screen + internal display?

    As far as I know, this is not possible and you can use a DVI or VGA port.
    Output signal can be used only a single port for external monitor.
