Also the question is, how do you set up dual monitors?
- Right-click on your desktop and select “Display”.
- From the display, select the monitor you wish to be your main display.
- Check the box that says “Make this my main display.” The other monitor will automatically become the secondary display.
- When finished, click [Apply].
Also, can you set up 2 monitors with HDMI? Take a standard HDMI cable, run one end from the PC’s output, and run the other to your first monitor’s input. Windows will automatically detect the display. By default, the first display connected will be the main one. Repeat this process for your second monitor.
Additionally, can you connect two monitors directly together? It is possible to chain together monitors with different display resolutions. For example, one 2560 x 1600 monitor could be used with two 1920 x 1080 monitors.
Likewise, what cables do I need for dual monitors? The monitors may come with VGA or DVI cables but the HDMI is the standard connection for most office dual monitor setups. The VGA can work easily with a laptop to monitor connection, especially with a Mac.Sometimes you have only one HDMI port on your computer (typically on a laptop), but need two ports so that you can connect 2 external monitors. In this case: You can use a ‘switch splitter’ or ‘display splitter’ to have two HDMI ports.
Can I connect a monitor to another monitor?
Daisy-chaining, officially known as multi-stream transport, or MST (in the case of DisplayPort technology) involves connecting a monitor to another monitor instead of directly to your system’s video out port. It’s a great way of minimizing cable clutter and extending the range of your monitors from the source system.
