Multiple monitors connection using DisplayPort

You can daisy-chain monitors to each other using the DisplayPort OUT/IN or USB-C connections on the monitors.
For using connected monitors in MST (multi-stream transport) mode, the setting should be DP OUT MULTISTREAM "AUTO" for
each monitor. Please change the setting for the monitor that connects to the computer last.
If the monitors do not display an image, turn off the monitor connected to the computer then turn it back on.
Configuring the DisplayPort connections may be necessary. Please refer to the table below and change the settings as needed.

Depending on the display adapter settings in the operating system for the connected computer, the image may not extend.
Please refer to the user instructions for the computer to change the settings.

NOTE:
Use the DisplayPort cables included with the monitors to connect the monitors to each other.
We strongly recommend using the same monitor model for all monitors in the connected daisy-chain.
Remove the cap from the DisplayPort OUT connector on the monitor.
Please contact your display adapter supplier for detailed information.
