Problem of two - VGA and Displayport monitors

Hello

We have recently purchased a number of machines Thinkcentre M58 and have problems to make two monitors to work with these machines. We are setting them up with a monitor to the VGA port and a 2nd monitor connected to via a Displayport adapter Displayport to VGA dongle.

The problem is that the 2nd monitor on Displayport don't wake up. MESSAGE appears on the monitor 1, and when Windows has loaded, only the 1st monitor displays a screen, while the 2nd monitor remains in mode 'sleep'.

In display settings, it is possible to activate the 2nd monitor, how he wakes up and the user can continue to use both screens. If the user stops or restarts the machine it takes to manually activate the 2nd monitor whenever they connect.

The same thing happens on Windows XP and Windows 7 computers, and I also tried to use a number of different instructors, who all have the same problem.

Someone else had problems to get the 2nd monitor on the Displayport works correctly? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much

Phil

Make sure that you set the main display on the displayport device and then connect your vga port.

  • HP EliteDesk 800 G1 SFF: HP EliteDesk 800 G1 SFF: using VGA and DisplayPort simultaneously for double configuration monitor

    If the title says it all. I'm trying to set up two monitors on my HP EliteDesk 800 G1 SFF. Here is my configuration:

    1. first monitor (Acer B223W) lights DisplayPort and displays things normally.

    2. second monitor (HP LP2065) is on the VGA port.

    The problem is that my second port monitor never gets a signal from the machine and going to sleep mode. Connect the second monitor changes my main screen at a desk empty (no icons, no taskbar, just a plain painted paper), which I believe means it tries to use my VGA monitor as main display.

    However, the VGA monitor never seems to show anything. I spent my main screen on the first monitor successfully too, but is not all about him either.

  • X 230, Intel HD 4000, dock and three monitors, how?

    Hello

    I just got new X 230 (makes 12/12). It has intel HD 4000 and processor i7-3xxx-series.

    I also got dock (the usb3 support).

    I have foud some topics saying that x 230 would support 3 monitors, but how?

    I have 3 x full HD monitors, 2 of them is connected with other with VGA and DVI to dock to dock.

    Windows screen settings allows me to activate the 3 monitos, but custom 3rd "wake up" and after that windows manager reopenin of screen it says that 3rd monitor is "disconnected". The Intel tool provides only option for 2 monitors.

    So, it is possible to activate the 3rd monitor?

    Hey there styleza,

    Thanks for clarifying the dock you are using by comparing what you found there to the PSRef for your machine, it doesn't seem to be the case. The PSRef States:

    "Intel HD Graphics 4000 in processor, supports external analog monitor via VGA and digital monitor via Mini Display Port; supports two independent screens. "Research on all for X 230 PSRef sheets, I agree, it doesn't seem Optimus technology was available for this machine as all PSRef sheets I could find for X 230 different configurations list only the Intel HD Graphics 4000. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

    At the very least, I hope this clarifies things for you.

  • IdeaCentre K450 'no signal' with monitors (VGA and HDMI)

    I bought a K450 (of Jack online of lenovo, handed to nine) in December. I have an Acer H226HQL 21.5 "monitor at the same time and put in place all at once. I used the VGA cable to connect the monitor. Everything worked perfectly until a few weeks ago. I went to wake the computer and the screen remains black. I pressed the power button to turn off completely and turn it on again, 'no signal' stil on the monitor. I tried to use the HDMI cable with the acer and the old monitor of 8 years of my last office (with VGA cable) and still no signal. Checked the power strip, it works fine. I am at a loss!

    I ran updates on firmware for everything, including the graphics, when I put the computer. I would check on the firmware for the graphics card, but it is difficult to without a working screen. In addition, do not know if this is relevant at all, but it was running windows 8.1.

    Is there anything else I can do to fix this?

    Thank you!!

    In fact, I realized there are TWO VGA ports in the case of the computer and
    plugged into another one and it worked. Oops. No idea why HDMI cables
    did not work, however. I hope that you are able to get your problem solved!

  • HP 251-a123w: I have a Setup dual monitor using VGA and DVI - D ports?

    I want to connect my HP 22uh monitor to my office using a DVI - D to DVI - D configuration.  Then I would like to complete a Setup dual monitor by connecting an Acer X193w monitor to my office using a VGA VGA configuration.

    Is this possible?  Two ports on my desktop computer can be used at the same time to support dual monitor?

    I see that the cables double monitor are in the form of Y and I thought that maybe a single port may be used simultaneously.  If someone knew this information then it would save some time & money on experimentation...

    Monitor HP 22uh was bundled with my new desktop PC and I cleaned the Acer to my now deceased Vista system.  It is in very good condition, would like to add.

    Hello;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    I read your post about the use of the video taken two DVI and VGA and wanted to help.

    According to the technical specifications of HP for your PC, both of these jacks can be used at the same time.

    Good luck

  • Double screen with two VGA monitors (model Inspiron 620)

    Hello

    I have an Inspiron (processor i5-2320 @3 GHz) 620 office. The graphics card is AMD Radeon HD 6450.

    With two displays analog VGA, I wanted to dual monitor.

    My problem is that the Office does not recognize the two vga monitors but that one monitor. Vga ports (I have two) on the desktop do not work at the same time.

    So, I tried to use the DVI port, but it is only allowed to use DVI - D (I thought I'd use two monitors if allowed the graphics card DVI connector VGA). DVI - D deosn seem to allow analog monitors.

    Currently, I only use one of the two with an analog monitor vga ports.

    I wonder if I should buy the new digital monitor that can be connected to the DVI - D port.

    Or is there a method to use both on the desktop vga ports?

    riofunk7,

    You have two options...

    (1) connect both monitors to the ports added discrete video card
    (2) connect a monitor to the integrated VGA port. Connect the other monitor to the additional port of discrete video card
    * Reboot the system
    * Press F2
    * Navigate to Advanced-Graphics Configuration
    * Activate Intel several monitor function
    * Press F10 to save your changes and exit the bios

  • New user problem: Source and program monitors not identical

    Hello

    After several years of inactivity edition I want to make a new start – now with a new version of Adobe. Seems I have to do a large part of the new curve... ;-)

    Implementation of a simple test/learning project, I immediately met a strange problem:

    My Source monitor and program monitor have another 'form': the Source monitor is a block (4:3?), the program monitor is a big screen.

    I'm not aware of having modified or arranged these parameters, and I can't do them even.

    How to do this?

    The questions and related issues:

    • I looked up the initial project settings that allow me the selection of options PAL (and not NTSC), but also big screen by default (and not a different screen format). I can't find. How to do this?
    • Commenting on these parameters of the project, I'm not sure 100% what to choose if I still have the choice: I think that older movies (to change) have my trip so the most recent or 4:3 screen 16:9 wide. And after a crash of my Canon camcorder is on the way which also records (I think) on the big screen. So: Select a specific screen/project format? And WHAT should I choose?
    • The different shape of the Source and the program monitor seems to affect the use of the Titler window: also has a form 'bulk '. Thus the titles in the Titler different completely in the program monitor, especially in what concerns eligible margins. This also gives the creation of models of Titler very confusing and difficult.

    Thanks for the help!

    WimYogya

    Hi Wim,

    The Source monitor and program have qualities of different reading. For example.

    Source monitor will play the original clip. So, if you have a 4:3 video, it will play as it is.

    The program monitor will play within the parameters of the sequence you have chosen. Thus, in the case of sequence > sequence he settled on square pixel 1.0 and the clip is 4:3 it will play in a square pixel.

    When I have videos on my calendar, they do not play in the screen of the monitor. I hear the audio but can't see the image. To test if my new files are somehow the problem, I went back and used video files that I have used successfully a year ago, and they no longer play in the monitor window. I hear the sound track, but don't see any video. Have I changed it some setting that controls video playback in the monitor window?

    Thanks for the follow-up.

    Missing in this equation are the Premiere Elements version you were using and the operating system on which it is running. But...

    The Act is accomplished. But... Up to now, and after that you went ahead and moved to version 12, we now learn what Premiere Elements version you were using. We don't yet know the operating system involved.

    You said first Elements 10. First 10 Elements is affected by a problem serious display known if the computer uses an NVIDIA GeForce video/graphics card card. In this issue, the only cure is to roll back the version of the driver about may 2013. The description of the problem and how to make the rear roller are described in one of the messages at the top of this forum. What video/graphics card your computer use?

    On another front, Adobe will release a new version of Premiere Elements any day now. Not one, but Adobe knows the function defined for the new version. This type of information is announced at the time of the release of the new version.

    So the solution to the problem you presented in this thread could have been...

    1 roll back the version of the NVIDIA GeForce driver for all may 2013 if possible (Windows 8 or 8.1 64 bit, maybe not possible)

    2. move to a different version of Premiere Elements (which you did)

    I offer the foregoing for consideration so that you can review your decisions. We are pleased to learn that the first items 12/12.1 works for you.

    Please do not hesitate to ask questions and seek clarification, but do not forget that the answers are in the details.

  • MacBook 12 "and external monitors - experiences

    That I have not found much info on using a MacBook 12 "with external monitors (but have found problems), I thought I would post my experiences here for the benefit of other researchers:

    MacBook 12 "with Dell u3415w (3440 x 1440) via a USB - C adapter Digital AV Multiport (HDMI):

    VIDEO: Experienced random black screens on the external monitor. After update to El Capitan 10.11.4 version which included an update of the firmware of the adapter, the problem become constant, with the external screen crashing to black seconds nonstop. Switching the HDMI on the MHL port on the monitor completely solved this problem.

    VIDEO: I'm only able to get a resolution of 2560 x 1080 scaling to fill the screen, which is a little fuzzy but fine for office tasks - selection reduced 3440 x 1440 or "best resolution for this monitor" translates into a look, windowed 16:9, with black bars on the right and left. I have not yet found solution to reach ultra-wide 21:9 angle at the native resolution (but would appreciate a).

    VIDEO: Macbook 12 discs easily display 3440 x 1440 for tasks of office such as word processing and surfing. Video full HD YouTube is generally good, but gets now and then a little agitated.

    AUDIO: Holding Option and clicking on the speaker icon in the menu bar show selectable option for the audio output to the device (monitor). On this screen, it seems to be a problem of reception of the signal of the Macbook when another device is connected to another port. In my case, a PC connected to the DisplayPort would be "laundered" the audio signal of Mac but ONLY if the PC has been out audio through external speakers, not the monitor (a lot of trial and error to discover this. When the audio PC sent ONLY to the screen, the monitor then accept the audio signal of the Mac, too. But have an external speaker connected via a cable audio 3.5 mm to the pc mobo (taken minijack) would somehow replace the TWO PC and Mac audio signal to the monitor. Something to do through the DP connection maybe)

    with ASUS PB27Q (2560 x 1440) via an adapter, no problem.

    with ASUS PA328Q more ASUS PB287Q (3840 x 2160 or '4 K') using the same adapter. Cursor extremely lag/Office up to that you enable DP (Displayport) 1.2 through settings on the screen of the monitors. This allows the Macbook to drive a monitor 4K at 30 Hz, which is always a little laggy, but realistic enough to be productive for word processing, surfing, etc. Would not recommend a 4K monitor for Macbook 12 for a really "nice" experience until / unless that 60 Hz is an option.

    Hope someone finds this is useful.

  • Select vga for second monitor

    I am trying to add a second monitor, but it does not receive a signal.

    With the help of HP Paviion Elite HPE 210f running Win 7 64 bit. It has an ATI Radeon HD 5450 graphics card. I have been using a single monitor DVI-d port for a long time without any problem.  Now, I want to add a second monitor. The VGA port has a plastic screw top Cap. I removed the plug and plugged into the monitor. He doesn't get any signal from the computer. I tried to update the graphics driver that caused a blue screen. Restarted. Monitor main always ok, but nothing on the 2nd monitor.

    Tried running the Catalyst Control Center. Graphic material tab to the main Board, it shows the graphic Chipset is ATI Radeon HD and all other info says "not available".  In the software Graphics tab, it shows

    2D 8.01.01.1186 driver version

    The 2D driver file path is not available

    Direct 3D Version 7.14.10.0860

    Open GL version not available

    Version of Catalyst Control Center 2009.1201.2247.40849

    I have to do something to activate the VGA port?  This video card supports two ports/monitors?  I tried to look on the AMD website, but did not find anything specific to this topic.

    Moreover, the primary monitor has a VGA cord plugged into an adapter into the DVI port.  Not sure if that makes a difference.

    Here are the specs of your computer HPE-210f. Please note that DVI and VGA ports, which adjoin the rear USB ports are "blocked" for a reason. These video ports are disabled, because the ATI Radeon HD 4200 integrated graphics on the motherboard is disabled when a graphical supplement, as the included ATI Radeon HD 5450 card with your system, is installed. Only two ports that can be used are the DVI and HDMI in one of the slots of expansion above the back of the I/O shield. Please note that the DVI port can output digital (natively) or analog (using an adapter DVI / VGA) and the HDMI port can produce only digital signals. In all cases, one or two monitors must support digital signals.

  • 2405FPW, Windows 10 and Displayport

    I have two 2405 monitors. I am able to use the first with my new laptop 10 Windows using a DisplayPort (USB3/DVI) connector, but the other does not work (it works with my old laptop). Curiously, it is displayed as expected as monitor in Device Manager generic PnP when I plug in the cable. However, it is not detected in the display settings. Is there something I can do? I like the monitor and would like to keep.

    just sorted by: first automatically switches between VGA and DVI. The other is a slightly older model (only visible difference is the stand) requires that I manually choose the type of cable. It works perfectly once you do.

  • Can I use a Dell P2714H HD and a monitor Dell P2715Q together on my new macpro?

    I want to use a P2714H Dell HD and a Dell P2715Q monitor k 4 together on my new Mac Pro.

    This is so that I can see the differences between the two.

    I would like to know first if they can work together, and second, what are the pitfalls involved?

    If someone has encountered this, I would really like to know.

    I use Yosemite with the latest operating system.

    They work very well when the two connected tot a 2103 end Mac Pro.

    For the 4K monitor simply use a spirit cable mini displayport on each end and connect it to a port Thunderbolt

    For the other monitor to get a cable with a mini displayport on one end and displayport on the other end. This monitor has a displayport input so use it.

    Connect each monitor to another bus Thunderbolt

  • Problem with Dell P2715Q and Mac Pro connection

    I have a Mac Pro 2013 with AMD 500, 64 GB RAM graphic card.  I just bought a pair of monitors Dell P2715 Q 4 K after using my 30 "Apple Cinema Display for many years.  Monitors properly function while I actually use and I can manually put the system to sleep (using the option-command-eject) and I'm able to wake the system by pressing the keys on the keyboard.  They work in 60 Hz mode UHD (3840 x 2160) and are connected with the display port (Thunderbolt) mini display port cables with that monitors came.  They are connected to two of the three bus TB. The problem is that when I restart the computer (or stop and start up), the monitors will automatically in their 'power save mode', and the Mac Pro does not seem to recognize that they are there, trendy, so I get two blank screens... no way to connect, because there is no current login screen.  The only way I can actually connect and begin using the computer is to connect an old 23 "Cinema Display, connect, and then connect the two valleys and unplug the 23". Yes, I can leave the computer and he just put the system to sleep, but when I need to close for a software update or the failure, I won't have to drag another monitor comes to start using the Mac Pro.  I have 27 days to return if necessary Dells.  Anyone have any ideas on how to solve this problem?

    That Mac has made recognition of the display for a long time consists of sending a query to display at certain times, by asking, "what is your name, and what are your skills? If these screens are asleep, they fail, and then they stay dark.

    These times are:

    shortly after the market.

    upon awakening from sleep

    When inserting the cable end Mac

    Since the Option-(detect poster) button in the display panel.

    Perhaps there is another way, you can arrange to have the display be awake when the Mac it sends the request?
