  1. How to Connect Multiple Displays  to your Computer System?    In a present scenario, connecting your laptop or desktop with                     multiple displays is a smart way to make your work easier. This                         process might look simple. I mean it’s just connecting one                     thing to another, how hard can it be? Hard enough to make                         you search all over the internet. It requires the right cables,                       fine-tuning, proper connections, and much more.        Let’s see how to connect your computer to multiple displays                     and all the other things you need to consider.  1​​

  2. Check The Connections    First and foremost thing to do is to find out the right type of                             computer monitor cables you need. With the variety of                   computers, you would have different ports, HDMI, USB                 Type-C, DVI, and other ports. You need to check the output                       on the computer and make sure it matches with the input on                         the monitor. In a scenario where the output does not have a                         matching input on the monitor, you can get the help of a                         computer cable adapters​ to help you convert the output.    “Extend” VS “Duplicate”    Once you select the right cable for your connection, plug into                       the computer and then the monitor. In doing so, you will be                         given multiple screen options. Since you want to work with                     both the screens, “Extend” would be an appropriate option. It                     allows you to divide the single desktop into two displays. It                       makes it easy to drag different windows from one display to                       the other. However, in order to make a presentation or to                       2​

  3. watch any video, choose the “Second Screen Only” or                   “Duplicate” options. The duplicate option would display the                 same windows on both the screens, while the second screen                     only option would shut down the display on the first screen.    Fine Tuning    Talking about typically windows system, it would position the                   first screen on the left with the new one on the right by                           default. As a result of it, you have to move the cursor from the                             right-hand side of the screen to get to the new monitor. If you                           are not able to do that, make an adjustment by following these                         steps:  ● Right click on the desktop and select the “screen                   resolution option”. It is important to note that the                   settings would vary with the versions of windows. In the                     latest version, it will show as Display settings.  ● Once the dialog box appears along with the screen                   images, click and drag the screen images until you get                     them, to their appropriate positions.  3​

  4. ● You can click on the “Identify” button on the right-hand                     side of the screen images to know the chronology of the                       screens.  It is important to note that windows do not restrict a                       computer user to just the right and left positions. You can                       arrange your screens in such a way that the new display would                         sit below or above the other one.    Adjust The Resolutions    In some video connections, it might not display the images at                       the same resolution as native computer’s resolution. That’s                 why getting the right resolution is another factor that could                     affect the choice of a cable. It depends on the specifications of                         the second connected monitor as well. To avoid display issues,                     it is important to own a good monitor with at least a 4K                           resolution.    4​

  5. Establishing A Connection On Apple Laptop Or               Computer    When it comes to apple computer, the process is same for the                         connectors. If you are done with the external monitor setup                     and it’s switched on, connect it to your computer with the                       right ​computer monitor cable​. The computer would detect the external monitor. You can change to your display references                                     by clicking on display settings from system preferences. If                   your external monitor is not detected, you can click on                     “Detect Displays” from the display settings pane and voila!    Extra Tips On Connecting A Monitor To A Laptop Or                     Computer    When you find yourself in a dilemma where you have all the                         ports for the cables including HDMI, DVI, VGA, etc. rather than                       avoiding the usage of multiple monitors. You can connect                   them using a dual personality cable such as DVI to HDMI or                         use a converter.  5​

  6.   In the present time, most of the Apple laptops come with a                         USB Type-C port which carries data, videos, and charges the                     laptop too. In Apple MacBook laptop, you would find one ​USB type C port ​which is multipurpose. To use an external monitor with the MacBook laptop, you have to use the computer cable                                                                   adapter.    Wrapping Up    Before purchasing an extra monitor, it is important to check if                       your system is able to carry such a high load. Check the ports                           from the backside. Most computers would have VGA, DVI, and                     HDMI. So, for example, if your monitor and computer have a                       VGA connection, then ​VGA cable would connect them. Based on your understanding of the computers, monitors and                                   computer monitor cables, you will need to pick the right                     accessory for the right function.    6​
