Multiple monitors / displays on y560 (win7) - total 3 screens

Is there a way to output to 2 monitors outside the laptop screen?

I thought for sure it would be sustained but I can't get it to do any 2 of the 3.

I wish I could keep my laptop usable and also 2 external monitors with VGA and HDMI output.

Any ideas? Is this possible?


I'm on Y560, Windows 7, 64-bit, 8 GB RAM, ATI Mobile Radeon HD 5730.

This term describes a computer with a single graphics card that has two outputs video. This type of adapter is also known as a graphics card double head. many graphics cards have a dvi output and a vga output.

Take a look at this thread on the double display.

  • I have a dual monitor in the display with a different total 3 registered. How can I get rid of one of the duplicates.

    I accidentally added the same monitor in the display area where you can change the appearance.  I think this causes a problem when I click for a drop-down list, as the drop-down list will be grayed out until I put the mouse pointer in the drop-down list box list, so I'm able to use the right items listed lower down.  However, after I have click on the option I want to use, copy, paste, cut, etc, that particular item will remain on the screen until I have change the resolution and then go back to the original resolution.  I'm afraid to remove the monitor that I would delete that I'm not with my main monitor.

    Thank you for your time,
    Frank

    Hi Frank,.

    I suggest you to change the main view and check if that does the trick. To do this, follow these steps:

    a. click Start and select Control Panel.

    b. click view , and then select change display settings

    c. click the type of view you want as primary (or display 1) and select the option 'Allow this my main screen'

  • Display problems when you run applications JavaFX 2.0 with multiple monitors

    I noticed a number of issues when running JavaFX 2.X applications on a system with multiple monitors. My setup consists of 2 monitors (primary and secondary on a dual graphics card) and my third on a separate graphics card.

    The questions I have observed are,

    (1) the application is not too sensitive when running on the second or third monitor.

    (2) when the application runs on 2 monitors and re-tire it will only redraw correctly on one of the monitors. The application will be displayed as a black box on the another moniter

    (3) where the application does not run on the primary monitor and a ChoiceBox is selected choice appears as expected but it blackens the application in the background.

    Someone else encountered similar problems? I'm going to raise a JIRA with screenshots and details of my system if other people are able to confirm that they are also suffering from similar problems.

    Hi, I had similar problems. My application uses 2 monitors and now everything works just perfect. It turned out that the interface is causing these disorders. I changed mine, then he worked (actually more the new installed I also had to update the driver for the new interface)

  • Windows 10 - no multiple monitors?

    Currently using Workstation V.9 and have a virtual machine (vm) with Windows 7.  I have 2 monitors and the current vm Win7 has no problem with covering the display on the 2 monitors.  I recently "cloned" my Win7 and then the 10 Windows have improved in this regard.  Everything worked well, got the active Win10, etc. But now although I specifically put the virtual machine to display '2 monitors' settings, it doesn't let me scroll through screens and use both monitors. It displays only in a monitor.  If I go into display Windows 10 settings, it don't shows only a single monitor and when I click on "detect", it says 1 only detected display.  So apparently 10 Windows will not see my second monitor for some reason any.  My Win7 vm has no problem with 2 monitors.  Even when I run both Win7 and Win10 vm at the same time, the Win7 uses both monitors and win 10 will not.

    I tried to uninstall Workstation 9 and install VM Player 12.  Charge of the vm Win10 and the same thing... without detected multiple monitors.

    Y at - there a trick to getting the VM Win10 to recognize (and use) my second monitor?  It drives me crazy.  If I can't get multiple monitors to work, I'm stuck using Win 7!

    Thanks for any help, someone might have.

    Hello

    Thank you for using WS.

    can you try to re-install VMtools on your vm win10?

    What is your host system on which WS with?

    I can move my guest win10 on two monitors. Can I get your version of win10? If I try on my environment.

    Thank you

  • Multiple monitors, multiple VMs, full screen and mode of the unit

    I'm under WS 9.01 Win8-64 with two monitors and a Radeon HD 6900 Series video card. I have two virtual machines, a Win7-64 and the other is Linux (Lubuntu 12.10 - 64). I am unable to get the Linux in Unity mode VM and the VM Win7 mode full-screen. However, as soon as I put the Linux VM in the unit, the option full screen in my VM Win7 is grayed out and vice versa (if I put Win7 comments mode full-screen, the unit is grayed out for Linux comments). None of the multiple functions of monitor I've seen here or elsewhere are relevant to this topic.

    Would appreciate any suggestions.

    I believe that unity and Mode full screen are mutually exclusive in WS 9. As you have discovered, once you enter either full-screen for a virtual machine or unit for a virtual machine, the other mode is disabled for the remaining active virtual machines

    In WS 7, I ran the same way you describe. A place either in WS8 WS9, I think that the support for this mode has been removed. I jumped WS8 completely so I do not know in which version it stopped working.

    In WS9, I just run around in the unit or use the unit + display of the virtual machine in the workstation user interface.

  • NB520 - support for multiple monitors

    NB520 they supported multiple monitors built in, if not, how can I have multiple monitor support my NB520? I need to use a Pewerpoint 2007 (presenter to display mode differs from the public view).

    Thanks a lot for a response in advance.

    Hi smit_Aood,

    The NB520 supports an external monitor and you can use the internal monitor + external at the same time (both monitors are supported). In addition, you can choose if you want to extend the desktop on the secondary monitor or to clone.

    Using the FN + F5 key combination, you can switch between different modes.

    Last but not least, you can use also a video projector or a TV as a second monitor. A certain computer screen is not necessary. ;)

  • multiple monitors - several desktop computers do not work

    My computer continues to change the provision of workstations, monitors and funds from time to time. I have three monitors with different characteristics (a 4 K, two 1920 x 1200, attached to a MacPro (a mini DP, a HDMI and VGA adapter).) Whenever the machine goes to sleep (I never managed to find out when this is the case) it takes longer to wake up that the start-up of the machine and monitors keep switching wildly. The end result is order, that I had arranged for most of the day. But sometimes the office images disappear, sometimes they switch to a different view, sometimes one of them is doubled.

    Is there a way to get rid of this nonsense? (My Office photos Dungeon change for a while and it started well before MacPro was invented).

    "What Windows are on which screens" changes when the screens are not available. The reasoning is, if a view is not available, its windows are moved (usually at the main display) so that at least part of every open window is displayed on this screen to work, so that it can be manipulated, and the window is not "lost". (I haven't looked in the bottom of the screen how you treat.)

    From your description, I conclude that at some point, your Mac has decided that some screens are "unavailable". It is a problem almost no resolved with poster several high-tech on the Mac Pro entries.

    To display an image on a Mac, a screen should respond to a request of the Mac, "what is your name and what are your abilities?

    This request is sent:

    • shortly after switching on

    • When inserting the Mac end of the display cable

    • on the invocation of the Option-(detect screens) in the display panel

    • the waking from sleep

    especially on high technology multiple input displays, the screen may not be "considering" the channel of secondary data for the port attached to the Macintosh, especially if its default value is not wearing his computer, or in the case of evil where:

    (a) the display is in sleep and

    (b) display is not designed to wake up until it gets a signal to an appropriate resolution display...

    ... (which will never happen unless it responds to the request of the Mac)

    --------

    You should be sure the internal parameters (fixed on the screen, not on Mac) for each display are set to focus on the 'port' the computer connection on all others.

    As often happens around sleep Mac, many users responded by not having not not their sleep poster, not having don't not sleep Mac, or both.

  • Multiple monitors: VGA laptop to Westinghouse TV

    I have an Acer Apire 5920. My warranty has run out of earlier. I got a virus in August and had to do a full restore. I used the DVD of Windows XP instead of Vista which was OEM on my Acer when I bought it. Right now I have Win XP Home Edition 32 bit. I had to download all my drivers on the Acer site.

    My question:
    When I plug the VGA of the laptop and the TV it says no Signal on the TV. When I arrived at the display settings in the Properties menu I have only 1 screen. It says "display:" (default monitor) on
    It doesn't let me change to another. I think that I have an Intel graphics card.
    How can I activate the Multi monitor on my laptop?

    Hello E - Odc,

    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft answers community.

    If you had the opportunity before you install Windows XP and that you are not given a choice now, perhaps you have installed the incorrect drivers. I am not able to determine what you have installed on the Acer site.

    You can easily extend your Windows desktop across multiple monitors. A display that spans two monitors or more significantly increases your screen area so that you can drag windows and program icons anywhere on the desk of theextended.

    By default, when you connect another monitor, the image of your desktop appears on each monitor display. Before you can drag a window from one display to another, you must change your display setting toExtended. For more information, see Set up multiple monitors.

  • How to lock the desktop icons in a multiple monitor configuration

    Original title: lock the desktop icons - and display

    Working with Windows 7 Home Premium has a problem processing 2 pieces: no matter how many times I said I want the display screen appears on the monitor, the screen of the computer, every day he arbitrarily returns to the computer screen only. That creates the 2nd problem: the desktop icons that I have arranged for the largest monitor rearrange themselves to adapt to the computer screen. Is there a way I can lock the icons in this position that I used to be able to do? Or is it possible that I can keep the display to go back to the computer screen? (I'm careful to apply the instructions to display before the specified seconds elapse).

     

    Hello

    I suggest you to go through the steps mentioned in the link and the Coachman.

    On a system running Microsoft Windows 7, the desktop icons can be moved to positions at random during another monitor main screen.

  • Double configuration monitor - only a monitor displays the login screen 2nd monitor is black

    Hello, I searched Hi and low and starts to believe that it is just not possible from messages of others.  But since the last time this question has been posted in 2011, I'm hoping that there was a resolution.

    How can I get my secondary monitor to show an image (any image would be great), while my computer is locked or simply putting in operation and reached the login screen.  Currently my secondary monitor shows just a black screen.  I do not want my screen to extend completely on two monitors (mosaic on nvidia video card) because when I do, my taskbar spans also the length of the two screens.  I like to use click once on my programs, rather than cluttering up my desktop with icons and you install vertically between the two monitors. I am unable to do otherwise.  Please let me know if anyone knows how to do this.  Thank you

    Hello

    Please contact Microsoft Community.

    I suggest you follow the steps mentioned and see if it helps:

    Method 1:

    Duplicate the display settings and check if you can view the screen saver in the monitor extended as well.

    To change your display settings

    1. open the screen resolution by clicking on the Start button, Control Panel, and then, under appearance and personalization, click on adjust the screen resolution.

    2. click on the dropdown next to several screens, click on duplicate these appear, and then click OK.

    The option appears only when Windows detects multiple displays, more than one monitor connected to your PC.

    Note:

    o If you don't see an option named multiple displays in your display settings, then Windows isn't detecting a second monitor plugged into your desktop computer. Or else, it does not detect an external monitor plugged into your laptop. When Windows detects this monitor, it will appear in the drop-down list next to the screen. If you do not see that what listed there, try click on Detect.

    o ensure that the monitor you want to extend your desktop to is turned on and plugged into the video port appropriate to your computer. You may also need to select the correct source labeled on the controls of your monitor to ensure that the monitor is using the correct video port. For more information, consult the manual of your monitor or go to the manufacturer's Web site.

    For more information, see the following link:

    Move windows between multiple monitors

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/move-Windows-between-multiple-monitors

    Method 2:

    I suggest you to check the display resolution value for both monitors. Make sure that the resolution of the screen is the same on each display.
