I have a big problem, I use two msi monitors and msi desktop which only has 1 HDMI hole, so I bought the adapter so I could use two monitors but it shows the same thing in both screens, like if I click something, it does the same on the other screen at the same time, and my desktop doesn't detect any other screens, I need help big time
HI Britec09 I got a brandnew system and am familliar with duel or more monitors but I cannot get this new system to connect to either monitor, I have HDMI ports on the back of the new computer and even with extend it won't recognize either monitor? can you help?
Can you use this on a Dell laptop with no extra monitor? I want to fake having a 2nd monitor and in windows 11 it hates allowing me any control over my space. OTL The button brings up the menu but it does nothing.
Brian - I was trying to figure out the snap setting for months now … now my dual monitors are multitasking perfectly ! Another simple but needed video from Britec
OMG!!!!! Thank you sooo much! I never thought to just drag my #1 screen to the right side of my #2 screen! [ 2 ][ 1 ]!!! they REALLY should make that more obvious! {big hugs}
Hey man, first of all, thank you, second I have a vertical monitor and was wondering if I do split screen, can I put half of it on the bottom and the other half on top
I have 4 screens Through a splitter. Sometimes 2 screens won't work. Sometimes 3 work. It will always show my desk top on all 4. But when I extend it loses 2. But sometimes they are there. One Sometimes flickers. I realised it wasn't a cable or splitter issue when the desktop shows perfect on all.
Whaddya mean "put the monitors the correct way"? I prefer monitor 1 on the left, not the right side, and then I run Premiere Pro across both screens after opening it in the number one monitor. Your "correct" way would mess me up, since it would make me have to jump from the far right of the number one monitor on the right all the way back over to the far left of the number two monitor on the far left. There is no "correct way" to arrange your monitors, just a "preferred way" which makes your system work the way you want it to.
on windows 11 you can create more than one desktop through the taskbar, can I link one desktop to the 1st display and then another desktop to the 2nd display?
What I would like to do is adjust scaling and text size for each of four screens individually. Right now, If I select a screen and change its scale, all four screens are changed. Is this possible?
My screensaver goes to my second monitor and not my main monitor. What do I need to change to get the screensaver to go to my main monitor which is #1. thanks
Thank you somuch for this video. I have a question, I hope you could help with this. I am using a dual monitor set up with Windows 11, is there any settings or any way that I can use different vertual desktop on the second monitor, ie in the main display I use the default desktop, and I create another virtual desktop by Windows+Ctrl+D, and I want to use this new desktop on the second monitor. I hope you got the point :)
Thanks for the video love them all quick question of topic I remember back in the day I use to use norton ghost as a backup solucion 15 later Iater I only work with macs its norton ghost still a thing???
Hi can you help I have a Lenovo ideapad C340 and an old Digimate monitor. I have connect them but I can't get them to work together. If I choose show only on 1 or show only on 2 fine but if i choose Duplicate these displays it says out of range. If I choose Extend these displays it just shows my laptop screen with no app icons. Do I need to change some setting. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Regards Peter.
I am confused about the importance of monitor refresh rates. Back in the day TV broadcast signals were set at 32 frames/sec. and apparently at 28 fps lately. I have only had 60 fps monitors and it does not matter if I am watching a super/blistering fast actions in a vid, there is zero blurring. If I remember, the 120 - 240 HZ monitors were to eliminate the blurring of fast action on a monitor. Thanks👍
A few days ago, my monitors suddenly became unaligned even though I don't think I changed any settings. When I press PrtScn to take a screencap of both of my monitors, a sliver of the right monitor appears on the left of the screencap, as if it's wrapping around to the other side. I tried messing dragging the displays around like you showed in the video, but now not only is it doing that weird wrapping around thing, one monitor appears higher than the other in any screencaps I take. What can I do?
The whole snap feature is good.. The way to send a window to the other screen is just moving it faster and the snap will NOT trigger. If you move it a little bit slower the snap will trigger and snap
Sir, any option to deploy second virtual desktop on the second screen so we don't have drag and drop every app manually which we like in second monitor?
I have dual screens and want to have one on youtube and the other on gaming so that if I want to have a short break then I can click straight on youtube without leaving the game. Is it possible?
I have an HP Envy with windows 11 installed however it only has 1 USB-c display port and I want to have 2 monitors connected to my laptop to enable me to select extend these displays, is this possible and how would I go about it? Really appreciate any help if possible.
great video, both my monitors are capable of 165hz, however my second monitor only gives me the option of 60hz....could this be because i have an old HDMI cable connecting it and a new display port in the other? im also experiancing stutter on my second monitor while im using my main monitor..... i have a pretty high end pc i build last year, just not very good with the software side of things... thanks!
It could be the HDMI cable. There are different revisions of HDMI and DisplayPort so if you have a very old cable, it will work, but maybe not at the required resolution and/or refresh rate.
I'm having trouble, I have both monitors plugged into the GPU but when I restart my PC it changes main monitor displays and display settings only shows 1 monitor

Hey man, first of all, thank you, second I have a vertical monitor and was wondering if I do split screen, can I put half of it on the bottom and the other half on top
Not sure you can physically split a screen in that way
I have 4 screens
Through a splitter. Sometimes 2 screens won't work. Sometimes 3 work. It will always show my desk top on all 4. But when I extend it loses 2. But sometimes they are there. One Sometimes flickers. I realised it wasn't a cable or splitter issue when the desktop shows perfect on all.

Put the monitors the correct way you want them. I have a l shaped sort of desk setup, so I have my main monitor to the right
1.5x speed makes it perfect
