How To Setup Dual Monitors - 2024

Here's a quick tutorial on how to setup 1 monitor, 2 monitors, 3 monitors and so on. It's very simple and the main things needed are multiple monitors, the proper display connector or adapter, and a PC that has more than 1 display out.

I have watched a dozen videos and this is the only one I found that actually showed the VGA plug. You made this so simple to understand. THANK YOU!!

[@northstarcareerdirections6067]

omg. after multiple videos this is the ONLY one that worked....i kept checking settings on my computer and didn't think about changing monitor setting to display port. TY TY TY!!!!

[@quintonunleashed5775]

This is the excat video I was looking for perfection you really walked me through everything I needed

[@renebrandt3399]

This video saved me from an unneccesseray purchase. I almost bought a DVI to HDMI even though I have a DP cable and a HDMI cable. If it werent mentioned I never would have realised that my PC has both HDMI and DP input. For that I am forever grateful

[@janellbatey5561]

UR A LIFESAVER!! Thank you for making this video for us WFH not so tech savvy people 😉

[@Erod0711]

Easiest explanation ever, other videos give you a whole lot of stuff that we dont need. This is simple and easy i love it

This had to be the most simplest and helpful video I have ever seen. You helped me solve my remote dual monitor issue in 10 minutes. Prior to this video it had taken me two days. Thanks so much.

So glad you mentioned the graphics card and the obsolete ports above it. I was banging my head into a wall trying to figure out why the hell they weren’t working.

I think you can sometimes use the on board graphics from the Motherboard as well if you enable it from the BIOS software firmware. The onboard graphics card is disabled when you add an additional graphics card, but you can override it in the BIOS if you want to (more often than not).

Thank you for explaining that only the lower hdmi port is connected to the graphics card! was my main issue the entire time as I kept trying to connect using my upper hdmi port. Such a silly mistake.....but so glad you explained it!

You're welcome!

[@SumAintRightYT]

TIP: For people who cant access there second monitor but it’s showing your day to day apps. LITERALLY go to settings and make the blue rectangle where your monitor are placed. If ur main mon is placed on your right and in setter its on the left 🚫

[@elizabethpetart]

straightforward content is SO refreshing! Might you help? I set up a touchscreen portable monitor and am having an issue with separating the touchscreen function from affecting the main monitor. As for the mouse, I can use it independently on each device, but when I try to use touchscreen with finger or pen tool, the mouse action is on both monitors. I'm a novice busy-minded Grandmammy and really will very much appreciate your assistance. Thank you in advance.😊 My tower is a refurb HP Elite Desk There are two display ports, no HDMI, therefore I am using display to HDMI for connection to each monitor. I have verified that drivers are up to date on any port I and employing. The portable monitor is a UPERFECT Y touchscreen model.

[@annasony2909]

Thanks!

[@Vau1tb0y093]

You caught me on a dumb mistake so thank you. First time trying 2 monitors i didnt have 1 plugged into the graphics card lol

[@PCBrosTech]

you'll need an active splitter or an added graphics card if applicable

[@paigeish]

I have a portable monitor that I want to use as a second monitor for my gaming setup. The portable monitor has mini hdmi to regular hdmi but my pc only has DisplayPort and hdmi on the graphics card. And my main monitor is connected to the hdmi port on my pc. If I get an adapter, will the mini hdmi to DisplayPort adapter work with the portable monitor?

[@fleero]

what do i do if my monitor doesn't sense the other display even with the splitter connected ?

[@-n4120]

Hi, how to adjust the display color? It seems the other monitor is darker than the other one. I have the same model of monitor, one is attached via hdmi and the other one is via display port.

[@houstontonyy945]

So if I’m out of hdmi ports I have to buy a different for the other inputs ? 😊

[@SWELDON28]

I want to use my main monitor for desktop and gaming on my oled tv without the desktop displaying on tv so when I start a game it's starts on my oled....can it be done?

[@angelflores2236]

Thank you didn’t know about the GPU hdmi

[@godlysanta1]

If i have vga in the back of the monitor can i buy a vga to hdmi cable and it will work?

[@MrCaleb-vt9eu]

What active splitter should i buy? my gpu is a 1660

[@MrDevLinaz]

And how to change hz so one could have 144 and another 75? Cuz when i try to change main monitor from 60 to 144 it doesnt let, i think because of second monitor cuz its limited to 75 hz

[@akchaglossa1026]

i have 2 monitors, both use vga and dont have an hdmi option, i used one vga to hdmi, and that worked for one monitor, for the other monitor, i bought a vga to usb because my pc only has one hdmi port, and no vga ports, and now ive connected those all, but the second monitor (the one that takes vga to usb) isnt working, what do i do

[@kvtssbb7248]

what if its not detecting the second one

[@arghyaprotimhalder5592]

It won't happen windows and BIOS both smart to auto detect it . If not the wire have issues or connector.

[@SilentGhost318]

Make sure your second monitor is turned on and plugged in

[@gakidomo9561]

For some reason, my Multiple Display option is gone, I'm not sure why or how it happened but, I can't display my Wacom Tablet 13...the only thing that works is the Pen itself and the touch screen. Do you have any idea how to fix it?

I have only one hdmi port but monitor what can I do?

Why everytime i want to do something on 2nd monitor my fortnite gets black bars so i have to restart everytime?

[@rameshnaidu8566]

Bro I have only 1 port and that is vga in my cpu ,can I still connect 2 nd monitor to my cpu ?? With the help of vga splitter

[@JJFlores197]

Each monitor has to connect to the computer. A splitter is used if you want the same display to be shown on multiple monitors. If you want to use extended screens, you'll need to connect the 2nd monitor to the computer somehow. You may be able to use a USB to VGA adapter. It may or may not work

[@michaelmanahan8875]

Wow all this time. I just have to drag the monitors 😴 thanks for the vid!

[@TheMegakiller789]

I set up my dual monitors but I can’t get my sound on my second one to work how do I do it?

[@footballtalk4857]

Is your speaker for the second showing in the sound settings?

[@karol-wq6il]

IF you have 2 ports in one monitor but only one port on my of can I connect the second monitor to the main monitor that has 2 ports?

[@JJFlores197]

Each monitor has to connect to the computer. I don't believe there's any way to daisy chain monitors together.

[@TheDutchMusician]

how do you set up so it shows your game on one monitor and your browser/spotify etc on the other ?

[@PCBrosTech]

You gotta do that in the game settings

[@BobElgin]

Do you have a video that shows how to duplicate monitor to TV? Cant get mine back to duplicate, Just shows etend option. no matter what i do it goes back to extend3ed monitors.Please help!!!

[@PCBrosTech]

Nope, but that’s a good video idea! We might just hafta do it

[@BobElgin]

So i found out how to duplicate monitors. Use the Windows key +R and it will show you 4 options to choose from.

[@jaymax7225]

Try windows key +p it should give you option to duplicate

[@lillinsey100]

what if it won’t detect a second monitor?

[@hoyster77]

so if both of my monitors are only hdmi and I only have one hdmi on my computer, but have a DVI, is there a DVI adapter to hdmi I can use? or how would that work.???

[@JJFlores197]

Yes, you can buy DVI to HDMI cables/adapters.

[@evansheehy7164]

Could use a second monitor 👀

[@Rujee8]

if you guys have AMD, and problem with setting up second monitor that has lower resolution, go to amd game settings, there open virtual super resolution then go on custom resolutions and put what you need, fixed second blurry monitor for me

[@JD-hm2wo]

So if i have a GPU with 2 hdmi and 2 display ports, do i plug in both hdmi + display port for each monitor? ty

[@PCBrosTech]

Just 1 port for each monitor

so an issue I have is that I have an old gaming monitor HP omen brand and another new monitor is Aopen, the Omen brand is display cable and the AOpen is HDMI. The issue is that both are connected to the graphics card but only one displaying is the Aopen and my pc is not recognizing the display port Omen brand, would I need to have them both on HDMI and on a splitter for them both to work?

What graphics card do you have? Most gaming cards support multiple monitors. Can you confirm that the HP Omen monitors works fine if it is the only monitor connected?
