Display toggle for pen use on separate displays has been more comfortable for me. Maybe it’s my desk setup, since things are rather crowded and using a mouse feels cumbersome. Awesome video!

[@Ghostly_scarf]

I'm just gonna say two things 1. Nice graphics card 2. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EXPLAINING THIS. I was really confused what to do if I were to upgrade my pc to have a gpu. So again thank you.

I cant seem to draw and use my mouse. I have a Kamvas 13 and its working as a second monitor but my pen just isnt working. It shows up on the second screen not primary one

[@JustCRANEthesedays]

I'm sure you've fixed the problem by now, I was have the same. To fix it I went to display setting and extended the display.

[@mxyer2605]

@@JustCRANEthesedays yeah i think it was in my tablet display settings and it was set to the wrong screen. But yep got it working great!!

Great Video Aaron. I really like using multiple displays to do my work, and I just can't see myself going back to a single display.

Totally agree!

I learn a lot from you Sir, you are amazing. god bless you. love from India.

[@brastix2051]

Nearly gave up trying this until I explored my tablet's driver for a while and found out how to separate the pen's inputs from my laptop. When in doubt, just try things in the driver 'till it works lol.

[@edeline9364]

How did you do it

[@ZenitsuKunn]

do pen tabs work when its connected to the laptop while the laptop is connected to the TV via hdmi cable? my laptops LCD broke so you cant see what you're doing unless you connect the laptop to the TV..

[@aaronrutten]

Yes, it should work just like your TV when connected. However, you may want to install the drivers first.

[@ramizshould]

So cool Mr. Aaron sir

[@CraneStyleNJ]

I extend the displays on my laptop and XP Pen Artist 12 from the display options. That allows me to have Photoshop running on my tablet while my laptop monitor runs PureRef with all my references.

I've had a problem with mine for such a long time, tried everything above then finally, work as the main screen - absolute - support digital ink.. I don't know why it works, but I'm on three screens again.

can you hook up a graphic tablet to ones smart tv instead of a PC what am trying to say could you use a smart tv as a monitor as well as hook up a PC tower to a smart tv

[@stevesculptor1]

Yesterday all working fine. Today I can't get the pen to work with PS on my 2nd screen? spent 2 hours cursing until I saw the part at 9:05 but mine has 'calibrate' not mapping! Q; do you ever shut down your setup at night are leave them permanently running? I messaged Wacom but they expect you to go on a weekend vacation until they can answer you. Thanks for the video.

[@aaronrutten]

I turn everything off nightly.

hey man can you help me? i buy the new xp-pen 16tp 4K that conects with PC with one USB and one HDMI, the problem is that my main monitor also conects HDMI-HDMI and i only have one hdmi slot in my graphic card! My graphic is a geforce2070 Super that have 1hdmi and 3displayport slots! my monitor is a Hp27f that have 2hdmi slots and one VGA! i try the adapter VGA-Displayport and it works but it reduces dramatically the quality of the monitor, maybe HDMI-displayport works??

Im having trouble doing this

[@mutiaradaulay3929]

Sir, thankyou for your video. But can i ask something, i still don't understand how to manage a cursor. In my case i work with my laptop (display 1) and display tablet (display 2), i already set my display tablet as my main display, but i can't use my stylus to draw it, and it only work to my display 1 which is my laptop. But on my laptop cursor tap it works to display 1&2. (Sorry for my english, i hope u understand). I hope you can give me an answer, i really got lost 😭 Thank you so much

[@mutiaradaulay3929]

6:24 i see your video in, you display table is your primary display, correct me if im wrong, my problem is because my dispay tablet is a secondary?

[@FireyRedDogTeko]

I'm confused, I setup to where they're separate but when I scroll down to do "extend to desktop" the option isn't there, also when I separate them no matter which one I make the main screen it only shows my applications on my tablet

[@Studioterrel]

Hey aaron. Watching video.

[@sirninjaraiden]

Aaron when I do the setup for multiple displays, when I try to draw on my cintaq the pen won't draw

[@minaanton3000]

Thank you for this video it was very useful. I am going to buy one like this but still making researches, should i buy touch or touchless version. So after may be two years and more of using it do you think touch is a necessity?

[@kar2nist1979]

Thank you for another great video! One question, I will be purchasing the Cintiq 16 next week, but unfortunately, the only port left I have on the GPU is a DVI-D port. Can I use the HDMI converter like you have for it as my third monitor? The other two is a Display Port for my main monitor with G-sync, and an HDMI port for my second monitor.

[@aaronrutten]

Yes, adapter should work.

[@bayramturkmen2354]

Can the graphics tablet be connected to the chassis of the desktop computer? can it be used as a main monitor? Usually the graphics tablet is used as the secondary monitor. Please someone tell me if this is possible.

[@LeaningTreesFindingTheBalance]

This is what I am trying to find out

[@Studioterrel]

Hey aaron. Do you recommend all displays have the same size?

[@aaronrutten]

Nah. They can be different sizes. My Cintiq is QHD while the others are only 1080p. Doesn't cause any issues for what I do.

[@emilusfiogbe3450]

I mean do you really need a whole display just to play music XD? Jokes aside it's very useful great video!

[@januszantosz7314]

what if u have integrated graphic cart i mean i dont have graphic card i just have good cpu

[@radiomanjk]

What if your monitor is 2160p or 4K and your tablet is 1080p, do you still set the tablet as your main display, because I want to play games too and I want to play those on my 4K monitor they even are mainly setup to run in 4K doesn't that cause problems when you switch your main monitor to be your 1080p tablet?

[@ohshiet6726]

He only chose his Pen Display as his main display because of the QHD resolution ; while the others were 1080p. You can set your 4K display as your main monitor.

[@radiomanjk]

Thank you, that really helped

[@zsoltbaritz7225]

Great video Aaron! I have a Cintiq16, but i only use it sometimes i don't want it to be on for a long time. That's why i turn it on and off several times a day. What is the average lifespan of such a monitor for 3-4 hours per day, does switching it on and off hurt him? Thanks! Best!

[@aaronrutten]

It depends on the brand. I've been using my Cintiq daily for about 4 years, turning it off when not in use. There are Cintiqs that are still working after 10+ years. In rare cases, a defective unit will not make it that long, but generally they last a long time.

[@zsoltbaritz7225]

Thanks you for your answer Aaron! I have another question :) I am thinking about a Cintiq Pro 13. I need for only sketching. There is a tablet mode in pro models. Is this mode turn off the screen completely? I mean switch of the blacklight too? Thanks, best!
