How do you connect 2 monitors to a laptop and have both show different things? When I connect with an HDMI splitter the 2 monitors I connected are showing same picture.
@@easams101 Windows Button + P then from the options choose "Extend." However, there are some HDMI splitters on Amazon that are only capable of mirroring your image so I'd double check the details on the listing page of the HDMI splitter if choosing extend does not work.
I have 3 ASUS VG248 24” 144htz gaming Monitors arranged side by side with a Mount-It! Triple Monitor Mount | Desk Stand with USB and Audio Ports | 3 Counter-Balanced Gas Spring Height Adjustable Arms for three 24 27 30 32 Inch VESA Screens. I have had this setup for 4 years and have been very happy with it. With Windows 10 or 11 it can easily be configured with a couple of minor settings changes, to act as one continuous screen 13” high but 59” across when they are set in a semicircular arrangement, for a true surround effect display. I have gamed with it set up in this fashion, and frankly, I found it a bit disorienting and on occasion cause slight nausea. I typically use each monitor to display something different. The two outer monitors display the Web browser on the left and my email client on the right monitor. While using the center monitor for file viewing or watching movies. I will eventually go to newer monitors with a smaller screen bezel, or perhaps one of the new extra-large curved monitors. After using this setup for 4 years I cannot imagine going back to a single monitor even a very large one.
By an odd quark I now have two Windows tablets. Just for the fun of it, I want to have them linked together to act as a single screen. I think you've taught me here how to do that.🙂
Thank you for making the videos. Information is valuable. Please prepare videos on what is the roles and responsibilities of an it support engineer in Microsoft Company.
Thank you, I was so pleased with your video, the port graph was super helpful. I bet I actually purchased the right cable, and that would definitely be a first....😎😎😎😎😎
Just because your video card has four ports, that doesn't mean it can handle four monitors at once, just that you have more choices to connect the monitors/s.
Good call out... largely depends on the graphics card. RTX 3080 supports up to 4 displays. Consumer-grade cards generally don't offer support for more than 4 displays.
Thank you. I was trying to connect 2 additional monitors to my PC. I couldn't get wireless casting to work but I think its because my 3rd monitor doesn't support it. But your instructions were super helpful and I also learned some new controls I wasn't aware of before.
Hi, Kevin. Thanks for the great tips. I got my second monitor set up just fine. That said, I can't make it work like I want. Here's my thing: I'm taking a class in Light room. I would like to watch the class on one screen (via internet) and work along with the teacher on Light Room (App) on the second monitor. Thanks for your help!

Trying to hook up dual monitors to my setup and just thinking about how I want to go about it. I use computers a lot but it's been a while since I spent time learning. Good introduction back.
I don't need things explained this carefully and simply, but I have to say that if I had very little experience with PCs, this would be exactly the kind of tutorial I'd want to see. You paced yourself perfectly, demoed everything clearly, and kept the language accessible to anyone. Really well done!!

If both your laptop and smart TV support casting, you can use that to wirelessly cast from your laptop to the TV. It can be hit or miss in terms of reliability, performance, and compatibility. The easiest way is to plug an HDMI cable into your laptop and the other end into the TV's HDMI port.
I went through this ordeal recently, but on Linux. The key point here is the **docking station / dongle** with 2x monitor outputs and with **driver support** for the video chip. And because the majority of the chip manufacturers are supporting Windows and Mac only, you got hit and miss situation on Linux. But there is one awesome company that offers Linux drivers: DisplayLink. I love these guys, I love the dock I bought and won't look into any other product without DisplayLink inside.

Half of this video is talking about a thunderbolt cable I think we all well aware of what HDMI USB c is USB a let's get to the point. More people are questioning the programming and software not the hardware. This man did not go over any of my questions that I had over the topic
While your level of technology knowledge may be high, many people are not aware of the differences between HDMI, USB-C/Thunderbolt, USB-A, DisplayPort, VGA, and DVI. Kevin is showing people how to identify the ports on their computers and monitors, and demonstrating how to find the cables that they need. This is important information when connecting more than one monitor to a PC, which is what this video is about.
By the title in your video, I assumed you would be demonstrating how to connect two monitors to a PC (or to a laptop). You demonstrated how to add a second monitor to your laptop. I was hoping to see how to have a Windows computer feed video to two stand-alone monitors, and be able to use them in such a way that your mouse travels from one monitor to the next monitor. Will Windows allow you to use more than one of your computer's display ports, to feed more than one monitor? Or is some type of hardware needed that will take a single output from your PC and split it to have a two-monitor display? Thank you.
If you have multiple display ports and your graphics card supports it, you can connect multiple monitors. For instance, the NVIDIA RTX 3080 supports up to four monitors connected simultaneously. You only need a splitter in the situation that your GPU doesn't support the number of monitors you want to connect to. When splitting, you'll lose some resolution for each signal.
@@KevinStratvert Perhaps I should have been more detailed in my initial comment (I wanted to keep it concise). My friend has a laptop. He does not use his laptop's monitor. He has his laptop connected to an external monitor. He wants to add a second external monitor (side-by-side) and use his laptop's keyboard and mouse to travel between the two monitors, as if it were one ultra-wide monitor. I do not know what type of display output ports he has. Assuming he has only 1, can he accomplish his goal? Is that where the "splitter" you referred to comes in? If yes, any recommendations? Thank you.
Hi Kevin, I love to watch your videos. You are an excellent teacher, not everyone can teach. It was a great video and super explained. I needed to know the difference between ports.👍 Thank you so much. God bless you.🙏🙏❤
Miracast is basically HDMI over Wi-Fi. If you're connected via ethernet, it'll use that instead of Wi-Fi. docs.microsoft.com/en-us/surface-hub/miracast-over-infrastructure
Thank you for this video!! Im trying to hook up my second monitor using a display cable but it says I need an hdmi cable too? Did I do something wrong?
Very useful, I actually have 2 display ports on my laptop, and 2 USB-A ports, but since I'm using one of those, I can only use the other one for something, so if it wasn't for that, I've tecnically would've had 4 display ports.

Second screen only: turns off your main display and uses only thr second one
Primary display only: turns off your secondary display and uses only your main one
Extend: the one you are looking for, makes it essential one giant screen where you can drag windows on and have different content showing and both screens on. After turning on extend mode, the pop-up should close and your second display to change,
FOR RIGHT NOW KEEP YOUR CURSOR ONLY IN YOUR MAIN ORIGINAL DISPLAY
after this go to windows settings and go to the search bar and search up display orientation, you should be seeing two boxes on the top, one box labeled one, and the other 2. You can click and hold each one to mimic your in real life display orientation. This allows you to move your mouse properly, between the two, for example if you have a 2ns monitor on your right side of your main, put the number 2 box next to the number on on the right side, I hope you get what im getting at. You can now test out the mouse and see if it smoothly crosses it properly like you want. Thats it! Drag windows and use it like usual.
If you have questions feel free to ask, I hope I helped

Hey I have a problem starting up Crome and I have uninstall it and reinstalled it and it still I sent opening
Now, can you do a video on KVMs for those of us trying to use 2 computers AND 2 monitors?
Timely lesson for me. Thank you!
I have download Mouse without borders and my machines are on the same network, and have the same MS windows OS but it does not work ,keep saying you have to be on the same network
Half of this video is talking about a thunderbolt cable I think we all well aware of what HDMI USB c is USB a let's get to the point. More people are questioning the programming and software not the hardware. This man did not go over any of my questions that I had over the topic
While your level of technology knowledge may be high, many people are not aware of the differences between HDMI, USB-C/Thunderbolt, USB-A, DisplayPort, VGA, and DVI. Kevin is showing people how to identify the ports on their computers and monitors, and demonstrating how to find the cables that they need. This is important information when connecting more than one monitor to a PC, which is what this video is about.
Superb as always,thanku.
Most welcome 😊
By the title in your video, I assumed you would be demonstrating how to connect two monitors to a PC (or to a laptop).
You demonstrated how to add a second monitor to your laptop. I was hoping to see how to have a Windows computer feed video to two stand-alone monitors, and be able to use them in such a way that your mouse travels from one monitor to the next monitor.
Will Windows allow you to use more than one of your computer's display ports, to feed more than one monitor? Or is some type of hardware needed that will take a single output from your PC and split it to have a two-monitor display?
Thank you.
If you have a Logitech Keyboard and Mouse you can accomplish this by enabling 'Flow' in the 'Logi' software.
If you have multiple display ports and your graphics card supports it, you can connect multiple monitors. For instance, the NVIDIA RTX 3080 supports up to four monitors connected simultaneously. You only need a splitter in the situation that your GPU doesn't support the number of monitors you want to connect to. When splitting, you'll lose some resolution for each signal.
@@KevinStratvert Perhaps I should have been more detailed in my initial comment (I wanted to keep it concise).
My friend has a laptop. He does not use his laptop's monitor. He has his laptop connected to an external monitor. He wants to add a second external monitor (side-by-side) and use his laptop's keyboard and mouse to travel between the two monitors, as if it were one ultra-wide monitor.
I do not know what type of display output ports he has. Assuming he has only 1, can he accomplish his goal? Is that where the "splitter" you referred to comes in?
If yes, any recommendations?
Thank you.
You are amazing, like literally the only person who gives me what i need thx a ton m8.
Thanks a lot for this quick tip but detail video.
Hi kevin, You are my tech instructor. Can you please make a video on making windows looks like an macbook icons?
WORKING! THANKS!
I just came across this video, and hopefully it will be very helpful for me, in wanting to connect 3 tvs to it and not have to use the laptop screen
Thank you Kevin for uploading this VERY helpful video I was able to make my second monitor work once I got to 4:03. You are a super helpful!!
Hi Kevin, I love to watch your videos. You are an excellent teacher, not everyone can teach. It was a great video and super explained. I needed to know the difference between ports.👍 Thank you so much. God bless you.🙏🙏❤
love
Thank you great video well explains
The best! Thank you!
Thanks Kevin 🖥️ 🖥️ 🖥️ for me. How does the wireless option communicate?
It uses Miracast
Miracast is basically HDMI over Wi-Fi. If you're connected via ethernet, it'll use that instead of Wi-Fi. docs.microsoft.com/en-us/surface-hub/miracast-over-infrastructure
Awsome!!! wonderful educational video, clear.
Thank you for this video!! Im trying to hook up my second monitor using a display cable but it says I need an hdmi cable too? Did I do something wrong?
Thank you for being so clear.
Thank you so much. I am not the smartest when it comes to computers so this really saved me a ton of time AND the explanation was 100% understandable
Amazing video
Buddy your a huge help!
that trashtaste podcast song at the end caught me off guard lmao. But thanks for the very informative vid
Thank you for this❤
thank you this helped alot
Very useful, I actually have 2 display ports on my laptop, and 2 USB-A ports, but since I'm using one of those, I can only use the other one for something, so if it wasn't for that, I've tecnically would've had 4 display ports.
Great tutorial! Do you know if I can use an old Mac as a wireless display?
