Connecting Multiple External Displays - Asus P50AD User Manual

Connecting multiple external displays

Your desktop PC may come with VGA, HDMI, or DVI ports and allows you to connect multiple
external displays.
When a graphics card is installed in your computer, connect the monitors on the output
ports of the graphics card.
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.
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.
3. Turn on your computer.
4. Configure the Screen Resolution settings.
For details, refer to the section Configuring the Screen Resolution settings in the
Windows® 7 / Windows® 8.1 User Manual, which can be found in this guide.
