  • Adding a second monitor to a laptop is a great way to improve productivity and make your work easier to manage so learning how to connect a monitor to a laptop with HDMI should be your first step!
    In this video, we'll go through everything you need to get started, I'll show you how to connect the monitor to your laptop with the HDMI cable, and then I'll go over a few settings that you'll need to use your monitor more effectively.
    00:00 - Intro and what you need
    00:17 - Identifying the HDMI cable and port
    00:37 - Connecting the laptop with HDMI
    01:04 - Extending the display
    02:05 - Positioning your monitors
    03:30 - Resolution of displays
    03:52 - Disconnecting the second monitor
    If you are watching this video then you probably already have an extra monitor sitting around that you are able to use but if you need an HDMI cable then I recommend picking up one on Amazon if you can stand to wait a couple of days because they are typically very overpriced in local stores.
    Here is a great HDMI cable option: amzn.to/2ZPPO2m

    I want to connect my laptop to the PC and just do everything there with my laptop closed not really a dual monitor setup
    I just want to know if that's also possible as I am not tech savvy at all

    Hi. I want to be able to view 2 different websites at the same time.. Is this possible by using this system on two laptops? Also my old laptop runs very slow... It sometimes takes forever for windows to open and in the past it froze up alot..(so I bought new laptop) Do you know if I'll have same problem? Is it better for me to just buy a used monitor? Thanks in advance.

  • @lordiblees
    @lordiblees 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    In my case, it's not working. I've independently tested everything. The laptop is fine, the LCD screen is fine, the graphic drivers are updated, the cables are fine, but my laptop display just won't connect to my LCD via HDMI. In fact, I've tried 3 different laptops and same result. But my LCD plays direct HDMI input just fine using the same HDMI cable

    Question... when I plugged in my monitor to be used as a 2nd monitor to my laptop, nothing would happen. I used a display port (monitor) to HDMI (laptop) and still no signal and still "no detection" whatsoever. What am I doing wrong? Why wont the monitor be found on my laptop? Please help
