Extend to 3 monitors on Dell E6430

How can expand to 3 monitor displays either a laptop screen and two screens connected to the docking station; 1 VGA port and the other to DVI port.

I can get it to extend it to two screens, but one-third always disconnects.

Is it possible to get this done with some updated graphics driver or is it rather a feature of device?

System information:
Reference Dell E6430
Win 7 64 - bit
Intel(r) HD Graphics 4000 (it comes to display on two screens in dxdiag)

Optimus in the Bios... WHO DID IT!

I had three monitors before (two external and portable computer display), then somehow it turned off.  I had to take my laptop away from my desk for a week and when I came back, that had combinations of two screens at a time.

I played with the settings of the Nvidia driver, but I think that the real change came when I went into the Bios and enabled Optimus.  Then I used the resolution of the screen to activate three screens and it worked perfectly!

Thank you, everyone!

Mike

  • How to extend to two monitors?

    I have a Macbook Pro that I bought this year. I want to connect it to my KVM DVI switch for two monitors. It will work with a bolt of lightning for two adapters to DVI ports? If so, any recommendations on what card? If option 1 is not possible, I guess I need two crush on DVI adapters. However, without worrying that we I get, I need to work in extended mode and not just mirroring. Is this possible with the MacBook Pro?

    I'm looking at present one this one on Amazon. Any recommendation is also appreciated.

    with the exception of the Apple ThunderBolt display NO display use ThunderBolt directly. They all pick up a subset of the ThunderBolt signals off the same connector, called Mini DisplayPort. Mini DisplayPort and its twin full size are "next generation" display interfaces.

    DisplayPort family attribute this and display-decision makers interface wanted to for a long time. Refresh 'heartbeat', 60 to 100 times per second is GONE. Only changes are sent in most of the time. The display must have an internal display buffer. Talk about framerate for DisplayPort has no meaning.

    The signal levels are very low, but use differential driver (or push-pull) circuits to very good noise protection.

    If you choose to convert to "legacy" display protocols, you can do it on a limited basis, with constraints. Long cables or more than TWO screens "legacy" will lose the signal strength and must be stimulated with ACTIVE DVI adapters, usually around US$ 40, who re-pilots to signal them upward.

    Using DVI screens larger than worms 1920 wide requires a Dual-Link, much more complicated and expensive adapter.

  • 3 installation of monitors on Dell XPS 8700

    Hello

    I realize that he had already given a few questions and answers on this topic, but I'm still a little confused, because this kind of thing is not my strong point.  I would be very happy to help here.

    I just got a new Dell XPS 8700 with a videocard of NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 745 4 GB DDR3.  I'm going to need to have a 3 monitor configuration in the near future and I was wondering the best way to make this work.  The video card has 1 VGA - HDMI, DVI-D-1 and 1.  Separated from the video card, there is an another HDMI and a Displayport.

    I have not completely made my decision between 3-23 "or 2-23" with 1-27 "immediately.  (Will not be the fanciest monitors in the world). Exodus 3 - Dell S2340M or 2 of those and pick-up and Ultrasharp for fun.

    I'm not a gamer.  I'm a trader.  I can't manage any lag when updating. I'm not too concerned about the image is as clear as possible.

    Thank you much for the help.

    You can use as well the equipped with an Intel HD4600 video card and a video card discreet if Intel Multi display is enabled in the Bios. With the Intel option enabled multi-display, HDMI on Board will be the primary display and ports on the discrete card screen will become secondary display. Read this article before you proceed.

    Hi Chris

    I refer to your message of November 25, 2014 13:38 on this topic.  Do you know if this fix worked?  If so, it will work with a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 745 4 GB DDR3 graphics card, I installed in m 8700 XPS?   I currently have a 2 screen connected via DVI port but I find hard to start machine. Then unplug it when you use do not and just use a single screen.  Would be nice if I can fix this so I can leave both monitors permanently connected.

A Dell U2312HM monitor has been used precisely as a second monitor and I want to use with the Inspiron system newly acquired as a second monitor. The different video ports on both of these computers and I failed to get the monitor to work with the Inspiron. While the accuracy using an older VGA connection, the new Inspiron using a HDMI connection. To further complicate the issue, the monitor has several ports to connect to a source of video output, which includes the DisplayPort, DVI, VGA and ports for USB connections upstream and downstream, but not including HDMI. I used a DisplayPort to HDMI Cable adapter trying to to connect the Inspiron to the monitor, but could not produce an image on the screen of the monitor. This continuous monitor to answer correctly when it is attached to the precision via the VGA cable & port so I'm confused as to why I had no luck by attaching the monitor to the new system with the adapter DisplayPort to HDMI. How can the Inspiron 17R be connected to the monitor Dell U2312HM?

    Can use something like this HERE, or HERE, but it would be better to put a map, where you will have a better choice of connectors. I that you intend to use the HDMI, then you will need a something similar to what I proposed to make it work.

  • Dell S2240T, problem with res monitor 21.5 inch monitor

    So, here is my setup - Home PC (made-to-measure) running Radeon HD5770 which 2xDVI and HMDI.  Running Windows 8.1.  All the drivers are up to date.

    The primary monitor is Dell 2405FPW connected via DVI.  It is set at 1920 x 1200, which is the recommended setting.  Works perfectly and looks great.

    The 2nd monitor is the new S2240T connected via HDMI.  It is set at 1920 x 1080, which is the recommended setting.  Touch works fine, but I have 1/2 inch black bar on top and bottom and black bar on the left and right of about 1 inch.  I can't find a way to fill the entire screen.

    I also have my work hung for the new S2240T monitor via DVI laptop and it works fine when I spilled on him - full screen and everything.  I also tried DVI instead of HDMI to my PC at home but could not get the S2240T is displayed at all with this setting.

    Any suggestions?

  • Amazon monitors, no serial number, no help from Dell or Amazon

    I bought two monitors S2340M at Amazon.com thinking I could enter the serial number and add them to my Dell account to activate the warranty, etc. However, there is no service tag, and all I have are the numbers on the back of the monitors. Dell support said that, because I did not "order number Dell original" or a number of service there is no way to "transfer" to my account of Dell or determine what guarantee applies. Support for Amazon said that they don't keep records of their orders in bulk from suppliers, so there is no way to get that piece of information.

    Some research here shows that the Dell team may be able to assign tags to my devices given enough information about my purchase. I hope that this can happen!
