Connecting multiple external displays
Your desktop PC may come with VGA, HDMI, or DisplayPort ports and allows you to connect
multiple external displays.
Setting up multiple displays
When using multiple monitors, you are allowed to set display modes. You can use the
additional monitor as a duplicate of your main display, or as an extension to enlarge your
Windows desktop.
To set up multiple displays:
1.
Turn off your computer.
2.
Connect the two monitors to your computer and connect the power cords to the
monitors. Refer to Setting up your computer section in Chapter 1 for details on how
to connect a monitor to your computer.
3.
Turn on your computer.
4.
From the Start menu, click Settings > System > Display.
5.
Configure the settings for your displays.
For some graphic cards, only the monitor that is set to be the primary display has display
during POST. The dual display function works only under Windows.
