• How to use two external monitors with my laptop?

  I have a new Pavilion dm4-301 d cl Entertainment PC.   My OS is Windows 7.   I'm used to using two external monitors with a docking station.   This new laptop lacks a docking station.  What should I do use two external monitors?

  Certainly not without a dock, but even with laptop HP well enough docks limit you to one of the ports on the external monitor, even if there are two on the dock. We used a device called an Atlona AT-HDPIX2 which is a USB to hdmi adapter. It provides a feature of third monitor for a laptop... use the native external port of the screen and the computer screen internal, then this device gives a third control that is fully configurable to display Windows 7 interface... clone, extend, etc.. It allows a full HD resolution and is pretty responsive for games even light.  HP does not have any true docking station for your laptop.

  I was given an external monitor that I could connect to my laptop.  I forgot the keys I had hit to use the external monitor.  I got disabling it on the screen that turned my monitor on the laptop.  I can't find a way to re - turn on the monitor.  I can't have anything other than a white one on my laptop screen.  I would really appreciate how to turn my monitor on the laptop.  All information would be welcomed.  Thank you-dukey41

  Hello

  Check with the manufacturer of the laptop's support, their books online and ask in their forums.
  Some have special tools/methods to control one 2nd monitor other than Windows,

  Right click on the desktop - properties Graphics

  Right click on desktop - graphics Options

  Right click on desktop - customize - display settings

  These should help you to implement and control.

• Portege R600 - how to use the external monitor on the docking automatically

  Hi - I just got a new Portege; R600-102. It's a great machine - very light and fast.

  I connect to a Slim port replicator to the office and I wish I could anchor and automatically use the external monitor without opening the laptop. Can someone point me in the right direction on how to do it? This process has worked well on my recently retired Dell X 300.

  More precisely:
  # I have the laptop closed Portégé and standby mode
  # I anchor in the Slim Port Replicator (SPR)
  # I press the button 'on' on the SPR
  # I see the message "recovery windows" and the bars of the countdown on the external monitor. (So I know it's connected and you can see the external monitor)
  # The laptop turns on but use the laptop screen (private) LCD
  # I have to open it and manually tell it 'out to watch.
  What can be automatically?

  Thanks for the tips.

  Hello

  You use Windows XP Home or Vista edition?

• I can't enter the bios using the external monitor

  Hello, I use Dell Inspiron n4010 for the last 2.5 years. My laptop monitor stopped working that's why I bought an external Dell monitor... Its works fine but I need to install the windows now... Unfortunately, I cannot get into the BIOS of the external display and can not change the device to initialize DVD ROM.

  Please can someone tell how to enter the BIOS using the external monitor (I put it as a main monitor, but it still does not work)? The Monte screen after windows starts... Is it possible to get it back? Help, please...

  Yes - I know - it's what I'm trying to show you how!

  If you follow my instructions in my last post, you will see nothing for the "six seconds".but the startup process stops at the BIOS screen and FN & F1 or F1 key will rise from the dead internal to external monitor.

• can I use external monitor with my laptop, but the laptop screen is broken can it work

  my screen is broken I can see pieces of the screen, but not enough to change things so can system work I connect always external monitor at the moment until the repair is possible thanks steve

  Hello Stephen,

  Assuming that you have the right cable, Yes, you can. In all likelihood, you will need a cable to VGA 15 pins to connect your monitor to your laptop. With a bit of luck, your laptop should recognize your external monitor and shunt video to it.

  If it's not, or you need to change whatever it is, go to control panel, Manager of devices and open this applet. You may need to check both places. The first is graphics cards - your video card, which is part of the integrated graphics card likely your motherboard. The second is monitors, who will be where your external monitor is displayed. Your duty to make sure what your video (graphics card) points to the external monitor (monitors).

  If you have any questions, please post them here. Let me know how you fare.

  Kind regards

• How auto turn off the screen of the laptop when you use the external monitor?

  I don't wan turn on laptop screen and my external monitor at the same time. So is it possible to do automatic screen of my laptop to turn off as soon as I plug my external monitor to my laptop vga cable (without pressing Fn + F2 keys)?

  Please help me.

  Thank you.

  I don't know if it's possible, but you could try to go into display settings and set an external because it is main if possible display and then disable the laptop with Fn + F2 but idk if it will remain inactive if you portable computer power, then on again :/

  Update: how to do this, right-click on the screen area and select the screen resolution while having the connected external display then of you will find a drop down a 3rd or a 4th do not remember but inside, you'll find stuff like show desktop on the screen 1 or 2 to find out what your external display screen number is and apply it to this form then computer laptop screen should turn black as it is turned off and you will see desktop area is on external display so I hope that this has resolved your request.

• HP Envy X 2 (15-C001dx): HP Envy X 2 (15-C001dx): question seeks to use the external monitor

  I have a brand new HP Envy X 2 (15-C001dx) with Windows 8.1. So far, it works fine by itself. I tried to connect an external monitor to the laptop using an HDMI cable from the laptop to a LG L246WPQ screen. The problem is that 10-15% of the left side of the content portable screen does not appear on the external monitor. Missing from the external display is the word "Start" in the upper left with roughly 2 columns to tiles. This occurs in the two "dual display" or "show only the screen 2" modes.  It's using a resolution of 1680 x 1050 times the cell phone and the LG appearing in support. Using the touch screen on the laptop I can scroll tiles to the right and see the missing columns at the far left. The information displayed on the external monitor begins as far left this screen will be displayed. In other words, there is no black and white on the left box. Except for the missing information on the left side, from the rest of the external display content seems fine. I have updated video driver of the laptop at the latest on HP.COM.  No change in behavior. I tried all the options I could find on the LG OnScreenDisplay, but nothing does the display not better. I've seen complaints on some forums that some "DPI" support added in Windows 8.1is causing many grief monitor for some people. Who would have something to do with it?

  This sounds like a video driver problem?  Something incorrect or incompatible with this LG monitor? Suggestions on other things to try?

  Thank you

  @outback ,

  Hello and thanks for the display on the HP support forums,

  The first thing I would try this question takes the hdmi cable and plug it on another monitor or a TV.

  If the same problem exists then LG issue.  If the same problem occurs on other screens or TV then looking at a resolution problem on the output of the system.

  Even if you can be able to higher resolutions sometimes native resolution will eventually force you to lower it.

  I have two screens at home who can manage resolution 1680 x 1050, however the native resolution is less than that.  and according to what I connect to the screen will depend on what I can get away with.

  Here are some links that you can see and which can be useful.

  Troubleshooting screen HDMI and sound problems

  I checked on the model of monitor you are using, and it seems to have this problem on many different systems.

  LG L246WPQ

  L246WP 24 '' LG display moved to the left driver Nvidia 8.15.11 - EVGA GTX 260

  Here is a list of the problems of google I found.

  The screen shifted to the left.

  I would like to know how this happens.

  Thanks again for posting and have a great day.

• Portege M800-106 - bad quality by using the external monitor

  I use an external monitor LG Flatron L1811S on my Portege M800 and find that the image is not rock solid when I use the display on my desktop or screen of the M800.
  It is particularly visible on the big patches of color block where I can see shimmering light. I noticed that it's especially bad if I recently reconnected the laptop to the network after using on battery power until the battery is fully charged.

  This makes me think that the PSU interferes with the VGA output?
  Any ideas?

  Thank you

  To be honest I m more important lack of information in your ad.
  Are you using the native resolution - 1280 x 1024 / 75 Hz on screen?

• W530 need to use the external monitor as the main

  I have a training environment with the help of portable computers W530, who are locked in a box in front of the offices. It is not practical to reach the computer as it's hidden and so I need to use the dvi cable external monitor for the configuration of the bios, boot order, etc..

  Currently, boot options are hidden from the external screen until windows loads. The external monitor would then become active. A way around the monitor to the laptop altogether?

  Thank you

  Russ

  VGA is driven by Nvidia, so apply the same parameters. Comes to the boot monitor in VGA BIOS (I forgot what we call this specific setting, as my W530 is at home). You should always pass nvidia Optimus only.

• Turn off display when you use the external monitor R61?

  Hello

  I have a ThinkPad R61, which I use with an external monitor.  Somehow, I had in place for months with the laptop out of the screen and the monitor on.  I've used today at a meeting to feed a projector, selected somehow dieting Fn F7 of presentation such as the screen and the projector are-as I wanted - then home, re-installed with my external monitor and cannot find out how to turn off the display on the laptop.  The selections under Fn F7 do not allow this combination.  I tried the trick you offered, Fn F3 to turn off the display, but it turned out the two views.  (Now, how can I reverse this setting?)

  It sounds like a requirement of switching every day, but I can't find a clue in aid of ThinkVantage, manual mini, on the website, etc.  Thank you

  WaynO salvation,

  After pressing Fn + F7, click on manage plans... to open the Director presentation window. Then click the new... button. You should be able to put in place a system to only display on the external monitor. After setting up, make sure to check the box in the column Menu Fn + F7 to have your new schema appears in the menu when you press Fn + F7.

• Unable to get the maximum screen resolution when you use the external monitor

  Hello

  I use Windows 8 on laptop ASUS K55A. I use an external monitor (Samsung SyncMaster 2233BW). Everything works fine except that I do not get the maximum resolution on the external display. The only way I see a sort of an overview of the good resolution is when I choose "extend these screens", but it's very uncomfortable when there's always one screen, I don't actually see.
  How can I increase the resolution of the screen on the external screen? (now, it's on 'show desktop only on 2')
  Thank you!

  I use Windows 8 on laptop ASUS K55A.

  So first a Bing search finds that ASUS K55A probably has the chip Intel HD 4000

  Then,

  https://communities.Intel.com/thread/30360

  (BING search engine for)
  Two monitors specifications Intel HD Graphics 4000

  )

  Graphics card Intel doesn't support double bond, so 1920 x 1200 is the maximum for DVI and HDMI, 2560 x 1440 is only possible with a display port. This is indicated in each product page.

• How to disable the Satellite A200-Ah7 screen while using the external monitor

  Is it possible to turn off the monitor on the laptop Toshiba A200-Ah7 while I use a second monitor?

  It's embarrassing to have the laptop monitor on at the same time.

  Thank you.
  Gary

  Hmm, I think that's not possible, but have you tried to press FN + F5 several times?
  Is it only a CRT monitor available?
  The monitor CRT, external display and if only that is available, then you could try to choose this.

  Otherwise, you can close the lid if you do not use the internal monitor
