Connecting multiple external displays

Your desktop PC may come with VGA, HDMI, or DVI ports and allows you to connect multiple 

external displays. 

Setting up multiple displays

When using multiple monitors, you are allowed to set display modes. You can use the 

additional monitor as a duplicate of your main display, or as an extension to enlarge your 

Windows desktop. 

To set up multiple displays: 

1. 

Turn off your computer.

. 

Connect the two monitors to your computer and connect the power cords to the 

monitors. Refer to 

Setting up your computer

 section in Chapter 1 for details on how 

to connect a monitor to your computer. 

When a graphics card is installed in your computer, connect the monitors on the output 

ports of the graphics card.

For some graphic cards, only the monitor that is set to be the primary display has display 

during POST. The dual display function works only under Windows.
