How to connect two monitors to one computer
Connecting two or more monitors to a computer is quite feasible. Thanks to this, you can either expand the working area of the computer, or mirror the image.
Today, users of personal computers allmore tend to make of their own PC a kind of "iron monster." Computers are complemented with new components, install various peripheral devices, additional input-output devices, etc. Perhaps, many users have heard that one computer can be connected from two or more monitors, but not everyone dared to do it with their own PC.
What do I need to connect?
In order to connect to one computerseveral monitors, you need to purchase (if not) a video card that will have two or more outputs. Of course, you need a few monitors, which connect to these outputs. It should be noted that installing two video cards on one computer is highly undesirable. There can be various kinds of problems associated with the compatibility of components, and picking them up in such a way that everything works fine is quite difficult.Connecting monitors
After the monitors are connected to theoutputs on the video card, you can turn on the computer. After this, the user may have a small problem, due to the fact that the second monitor is not detected. In order to eliminate the imminent "threat", you need to go to the "Control Panel". Here you need to select "Screen" and go to "Screen Resolution", and then click the "Find" button. After the second monitor is connected and synchronized with the computer, you can proceed with the selection of the display mode. In most cases, after connecting the second monitor starts working in a "mirror" mode. In this mode, the second monitor will show exactly the same as the first one. Naturally, if this mode suits you, then you can leave everything unchanged. The user can also expand his workspace with a second monitor. Thanks to this mode, a computer can simultaneously use several users at once. In addition, with the help of a second monitor you can expand the viewing angle. This will allow you to have an extended desktop, a larger viewing angle when working with some programs, games, etc. Switch between modes can be done using a combination of hot keys Win + P.
