Set up multiple monitors

When you connect an additional monitor to your laptop, Windows automatically detects the monitor and displays your computer's desktop. You can then choose how you want your desktop to appear and customize the display settings, such as the color depth and screen resolution.

  • How to set up two monitors on Envy 700-210

    Greetings,

    You want to set up two monitors on a stock like 700-210. A monitor will be a 27xi of HP with DVI and the other is a Dell with VGA.

    How it accomplishes this feat?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Please first try the following connection:

    1 VGA monitor to the VGA port

    2. the other monitor to the DVI port

    The video chip on your computer is not really good for both monitors. You may need to buy a better video card. Specifications:

  • I'm trying to set up two monitors

    I'm trying to set up two monitors on my computer. Currently, I use XP. I have two monitors showing the same on both. I would like to be able to use the second screen to only email or a spreadsheet. Surely I'm missing some instruction. I use two monitors with a VGA splitter.

  • How to set up two monitors with screen LCD and HDTV on computer that is running Windows 7

    Issues of identity and position monitor

    I use a LCD and an HD TV on my computer. I have HDTV mounted to my left on the wall in my room and the LCD is on my desk in front of me. I have my monitor set as my main screen and HDTV as secondary. Windows identifies the HDTV as monitor 1 and my screen LCD 2. After starting the computer they work very well as they should. My problem is during the boot process. When the computer starts, it displays only the boot screen/POST on monitor 1 (HDTV) but not my main screen #2 (LCD). This is a problem when I don't have my HDTV now, I don't see the MESSAGE options. I don't want to always have my HDTV and crane my neck every time I need to change the BIOS settings or use the MESSAGE options. Is there any solution for this?

    Hi Darth Polizei,

    I hope that's not redundant but did you try to set your monitor 19 "as the main display?

    1. In the screen resolution window, you click the icon of the monitor that represents the secondary monitor.
    2. You click to select the "Make my main screen" check box, and then click OK.
    3. You log out of the computer.
    4. You log on to the computer.

    Please let us know.

  • How to set up two monitors on Lenovo T420 with docking station.

    I have a T420 on a docking station (cradle ThinkPad series 3, #4333710U)- and two monitors (each aprox 24 ").  I tried several variations using the NVIDIA display as well as the native Windows Display Manager (7) and am unable to render images on the two external displays.  Can someone please help?

    Hi John,.

    Thanks for posting your question on the Forum of the Microsoft community.

    I would be grateful if you can provide us with the following information to determine the root cause of the problem.

    1. Did you do last changes made on your computer before this problem?

    2. Have you tried to monitor primary as secondary and vice versa?

    3. All device drivers are updated?

    After reading your post, I understand that you want to use two monitors with extended view, then you can try the steps in the following Microsoft article and see if it helps.

    Move windows between multiple monitors

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/move-Windows-between-multiple-monitors#1TC=Windows-7

    If the problem persists, then pass to the below mentioned method and see if it helps.

    Method 1

    If you haven't tried Exchange monitors so I suggest you to try and see if the problem still occurs.

    To change the settings of two monitors you can consult the links below:

  • two monitors. Icon of the secondary monitor missing in settings etc.?

    Hi all
    Tried to set up two monitors to operate independently on my HP PC under XP SP3. Do the normal thing - will display/settings/Advanced tab and selecting monitor gives me no indenties or options to select/set another monitor. I use two VGA ports for two monitors, but only will draw upward. Any ideas or suggestions would be welcome. Have a GeForce GT 430 PCI express card 2.0 chart.
    Margaret of blessing

    As the GeForce 430 has only a single VGA port, you must also use the VGA port on another device (the motherboard?).

    Make sure that your BIOS is not set to disable VGA port of the motherboard when it detects another adapter to display.

    Also, there is a map of multi-monitor.  You can get an adapter DVI / VGA and try plugging your second VGA screen it if you can't stop the BIOS to ignore the motherboard display adapter.  (Or just because it's an adapter better.)

    The first two steps in debugging: 1) is it connected?  (2) is it turned on?

  • Two monitors does not

    I've set up two monitors on my laptop.  I went to the settings and changed its expansion just as they said in the help section.  It is said that I should now be able to drag a window to the other monitor.  BUT, everytime I try, it puts just this window on that side of my screen.  It goes to the other monitor.  My other monitor is just my wallpaper showing and nothing else.  How can I change this?

    Hello

    These should contribute. You can set the monitors to work as a single office (can drag and drop across
    also the programs cannot be fullscreen - reduce the size) or they can be set to work as
    two separate monitors where you open the programs you want on each.

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

    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:

    -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.

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver in the Windows updates,
    This leaves ONE of Windows updates, but it will not install the drivers who are generally older and cause
    questions. If updates offers a new driver and then hide it (right click on it) and then go look for new ones
    manually if you wish.

  • Two monitors L2206tm - Windows 7 - can all both touchscreen make?

    I didn't realize the L2206tm is a commercial monitor and I posted about it in the forum of home monitor products, then I copy the post here. I hope you guys can help me.

    I have a custom desktop computer and I recently got two HP L2206tm monitors because they were on sale. My computer running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. I have two monitors connected USB ports on the desktop, but if I touch one of the screen of one of them, the click or scroll or any action that happens on the other monitor. Is it possible, and if so, what is the easiest way to set up two monitors to use the touch screen feature? Is there a software to help make this process easier?

    AFAIK, you can't touch on two screens in the calibration mode. In Clone mode, it works; but it's probably not what you're looking for.

    You can try the below:

    Use the 'Tablet PC Settings' in the ' Control Panel/hardware.  Under 'Display Options', select a touch screen, hit calibrate, move the text to the selected touch screen while pressing on enter (incase you have extra monitors) then MOVE your mouse to this screen and click on the text.   Then calibrate the monitor and following the instructions in the calibration.  Once the first monitor is installed, follow these instructions again for each additional touch monitor.

  • Remote - two monitors desktop connection

    I try to use my two monitors with remote desktop connection.  I see the option under settings "to use all of my monitors with remote connection" but even when verified that it does not work.  How can I set up?

    I use windows 8, windows 8.1 do I need?

    There are a few conditions to use the split on multiple monitors.  Namely, both monitors must be exactly the same size and shape and must be positioned to form a perfect rectangle.

    Even 1 pixel difference means you cannot extend your remote desktop on them.

  • Two monitors on Z220 Workstation

    Hello!

    I hope I can get help setting up two monitors on my workstation Z220.

    OS = Windows 7 Professional (64 bit)

    CPU = Xeon E3 1225 V2 3.2 Ghz (a supposedly graphic internal Intel HD P4000)

    Video = NVIDIA Quadro K600

    Monitor 1: HP Pavilion 27xi w/DVI interface

    Monitor 2: Interface Acer X243W w/DVI (other monitors w/interface available DVI)

    I found a guide on the HP website (http://h20195.www2.hp.com/V2/GetPDF.aspx/4AA4-4148ENW.pdf) suggesting it * is * possible to have several screens on this system, a branch of the internal graphics port, and the other attached to the graphic video card port. The completed manual to activate the onboard graphics in the BIOS (which I did), download and install integrated on the hp.com website - graphics card drivers but I can't find the drivers. Cannot download it from Intel site either.

    This form of reading a little more closely, it looks like I'll have to throw my Quadro K600 card and replace it with a NVS 300, 310 or 510 if I want two monitors on my computer Z220. Is this correct, or is the user manual HP correct and all I need are the integrated video drivers?

    Nick

    Found answer on my own with a continuous research. Finally on download for internal video driver Intel - Intel site, not HP. As soon as it was installed the second monitor will light up. They confirmed that it * is * possible to use internal graphics * and * graphics card discrete to run two monitors. Purchase of NVS 300, 310, 510 is NOT necessary. Hope this helps someone else.

  • HP Envy Phoenix 850: Using two monitors

    I just updated my PC and bought two HP monitors.  Specification PC says he can support up to three monitors.  I'm not sure is how exactly to set up two monitors:

    -I.e. the ports to be used at the back of the PC.  I have an HDMI cable, but it seems that to adapt to one of the ports - yet there are 3 others in the back of the PC;

    -Sounds like a silly question, but there are 3 other major ports at the back of the computer, are these a different type of HDMI port.  The monitors that I bought the HP Pavilion 23xw will have VGA and HDMI (the rear ports are labeled HDMI 1 and HDMI 2).

    As noted, it might look like a very stupid question, but I can't find any help online to detail the ports on the back of my graphics card.

    Hello

    He did 3 display ports, 1 HDMI port and 1 DVI port:

    http://support.HP.com/in-en/document/c04714105

    You can use 1 Display port and HDMI port 1 or 1 HDMI port and 1 DVI port the port on which you have on your monitor. This video card can connect up to 4 monitors.

    Note: Info Display port (DP)

    Hello

    You have options:

    1. install a video card that supports two monitors. -> the best performance option

    2. use a video USB adapter/converter.   -> What are your needs of video connection? VGA, DVI orHDMI

    3. use a USB attachable monitor such as this AOC 16 "monitor.

    Option #1.

    Look here in HP Partsurfer for video cards that are used in the new Slimline models with a 220 Watt power supply.  These cards have been made specifically for the HP Slimline PC with a 220 watt power supply.
