How to setup Multiple Displays

Asked By Ashley Probst 0 points N/A Posted on - 09/22/2011

 

I want to setup multiple displays on my computer to use the one of the displays just for watching the stock market. My motherboard is still using its built in video card. But it can accommodate to a PCI Express x16 card. What setup would you recommend for me? The cheapest setup will be better.

How to setup Multiple Displays

One monitor serves as the primary monitor, and this monitor displays the Logon dialog box when you start your computer. In addition, most programs will display windows on the primary monitor when you initially open them. You can select different screen resolutions and different color quality settings for each monitor. Multiple monitors can be connected to individual video adapters or to a single video adapter that supports multiple outputs. To configure the arrangement of multiple monitors:

1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
2. Click Appearance and Themes, and then click Display.
3. On the Settings tab, click Identify to display a large number on each of your monitors. This shows which monitor corresponds with each icon.
4. Click the monitor icons and drag them to positions that represent how you want to move items from one monitor to another, and then click OK or Apply to view changes.
