    In Display screen, go down to "multiple displays", click the down arrow in the box and select "extend these displays". You can also select which monitor you want as your main display below that.

  • @fujiedits2144

    Жыл бұрын

    1) Your main screen can be any of the numbers. 2) You only need an adapter if your graphics card doesnt support the same cable your monitor does. for example my graphics card only supports HDMI so I need an HDMI monitor, but if my monitor is display port only then I can get an adaptor that is hdmi to display port that way it works. 3) There is no specific camera you need to use to gaming. You dont even need a camera unless you are planning on face cam streaming. Most pro cameras are roughly 500-1000 USD but if you just need something basic then webcams are sold for 20-60 USD. Go to your local bestbuy or target or walmart or whatever you have that sells tech and ask about webcams. I'd recommend best buy as they are more focused on tech and sell all different types of tech parts.

    Everything is so unique to the person's hardware. The video card output ports, the native resolutions on each screen, the resolutions the video card is capable of displaying. You're dealing with HDMI, DP, VGA cables, etc. You need to start with your video card make the rest compatible.

    How about if one monitor let say my main monitor that I use the most has a refresh rate of 144mHZ and the second monitor I wan to add is say 70Mhz. Would I lose the Mhz refresh rate that is high on my main monitor? I want to keep the high refresh rate of my main. The second monitor is just for adding programs that don't need the high refresh. So, my question is, would I lose that high refresh option on my main monitor due to the second being lower refresh?

    Hello, I tried to connect 2 monitors to my Samsung Laptop running Window 10 (Home Edition) but I couldn't get 3 extended sreens; i.e. I only have 1/3 on the laptop top and on monitor A and 2 on monitor B. Is it more the limitation on the source laptop and how I could find out whether the laptop can support more then 2 monitor or it is something to do with it's firmware? Or it is something to do with the Window 10 (Home Edition) limitation. I tried the display setting and it can only detect 1/3 and 2 displays. The two monitors all have VGA and HDMI input. I'm using a USB-C hub with two HDMI connections. Any idea?

    I have a desktop connected to our dual monitors, two TV panels and one projector. Now I got the dual monitors and the projector screen working and only TV2 panel working except the other TV1. I had problems with TV1 it was showing the desktop files which I don't want it to? My aim to show a PowerPoint presentation to TV1, TV2 and the projector only. My dual monitors is only for PowerPoint software, etc. Please help.

    I'm trying to mirror my Ipad pro to my monitor. I have 2 HDMI ports on my monitor. I tried using my Apple TV with screen mirroring, which sort of worked, but it's not that usable. I tried plugging directly into the IPAD from my monitor and that did not work. Do you have any help for me?

    Setup extended mode. Press Windows key + P to open the project menu. Choose "Extend". This will allow you to have 2 independent screens. If you need to change the screen layout, you can do that in Settings>Display.
