- Here's a quick tutorial on how to setup 1 monitor, 2 monitors, 3 monitors and so on. It's very simple and the main things needed are multiple monitors, the proper display connector or adapter, and a PC that has more than 1 display out.
Cables I Used Affiliate Links:
DVI to Display Port - amzn.to/3NeoS5v
VGA to HDMI Adapter - amzn.to/484yW9p

I have watched a dozen videos and this is the only one I found that actually showed the VGA plug. You made this so simple to understand. THANK YOU!!
This video saved me from an unneccesseray purchase. I almost bought a DVI to HDMI even though I have a DP cable and a HDMI cable. If it werent mentioned I never would have realised that my PC has both HDMI and DP input. For that I am forever grateful
omg. after multiple videos this is the ONLY one that worked....i kept checking settings on my computer and didn't think about changing monitor setting to display port. TY TY TY!!!!
This is the excat video I was looking for perfection you really walked me through everything I needed
So glad you mentioned the graphics card and the obsolete ports above it. I was banging my head into a wall trying to figure out why the hell they weren’t working.

Great video!
great video i appreciate it
Thank you!!
I think you can sometimes use the on board graphics from the Motherboard as well if you enable it from the BIOS software firmware. The onboard graphics card is disabled when you add an additional graphics card, but you can override it in the BIOS if you want to (more often than not).
Great explanation! well done. My monitor light is on but it states check the video cable ...?
Thank you.
thanks !
Hi, how to adjust the display color? It seems the other monitor is darker than the other one. I have the same model of monitor, one is attached via hdmi and the other one is via display port.

Cool man, I want an extra for having a WIKI open during games. Thanks!
Thank you for explaining that only the lower hdmi port is connected to the graphics card! was my main issue the entire time as I kept trying to connect using my upper hdmi port. Such a silly mistake.....but so glad you explained it!
You're welcome!
Nice setup....what suggest for a PC that uses 2 display port and I want to connect 3 monitor extended that has no type c
you'll need an active splitter or an added graphics card if applicable
i have 2 monitors, both use vga and dont have an hdmi option, i used one vga to hdmi, and that worked for one monitor, for the other monitor, i bought a vga to usb because my pc only has one hdmi port, and no vga ports, and now ive connected those all, but the second monitor (the one that takes vga to usb) isnt working, what do i do
thanks
I have a portable monitor that I want to use as a second monitor for my gaming setup. The portable monitor has mini hdmi to regular hdmi but my pc only has DisplayPort and hdmi on the graphics card. And my main monitor is connected to the hdmi port on my pc. If I get an adapter, will the mini hdmi to DisplayPort adapter work with the portable monitor?
thanks for making this video for those of us that can't afford fancy modern monitors
I want to use my main monitor for desktop and gaming on my oled tv without the desktop displaying on tv so when I start a game it's starts on my oled....can it be done?
Best explained short video. I get anxiety when videos are too long 😅
Honestly, a Goldilocks YT video. Not too fast and oversimplified, not too slow with way TMI, rather it was JUST RIGHT.
Gracias desde México.
straightforward content is SO refreshing! Might you help? I set up a touchscreen portable monitor and am having an issue with separating the touchscreen function from affecting the main monitor. As for the mouse, I can use it independently on each device, but when I try to use touchscreen with finger or pen tool, the mouse action is on both monitors. I'm a novice busy-minded Grandmammy and really will very much appreciate your assistance. Thank you in advance.😊
My tower is a refurb HP Elite Desk There are two display ports, no HDMI, therefore I am using display to HDMI for connection to each monitor. I have verified that drivers are up to date on any port I and employing. The portable monitor is a UPERFECT Y touchscreen model.
omg thx so much
And how to change hz so one could have 144 and another 75? Cuz when i try to change main monitor from 60 to 144 it doesnt let, i think because of second monitor cuz its limited to 75 hz
What active splitter should i buy? my gpu is a 1660
Question..I have 2 large monitors and I need 1 of them at eye level., when I put the other one to the side my head moves too much..is there a solution?
You caught me on a dumb mistake so thank you. First time trying 2 monitors i didnt have 1 plugged into the graphics card lol
For some reason, my Multiple Display option is gone, I'm not sure why or how it happened but, I can't display my Wacom Tablet 13...the only thing that works is the Pen itself and the touch screen. Do you have any idea how to fix it?
I bought a new monitor and I want it to be my main, but it just like acts as another window like a second one, with like it the apps there and stuff
hello i hv problem here, my monitor using vga and hdmi, i want use vga as a main monitor, but i cant do that, why?
That worked thanks!!!
You have 2 standard power supply correct 1 you getting smps what about 2nd one
Thank you didn’t know about the GPU hdmi
I set up my dual monitors but I can’t get my sound on my second one to work how do I do it?
Is your speaker for the second showing in the sound settings?
so if both of my monitors are only hdmi and I only have one hdmi on my computer, but have a DVI, is there a DVI adapter to hdmi I can use? or how would that work.???
Yes, you can buy DVI to HDMI cables/adapters.
Why everytime i want to do something on 2nd monitor my fortnite gets black bars so i have to restart everytime?
It doesn’t let me drag my 2nd monitor. Any ideas?
Bro I have only 1 port and that is vga in my cpu ,can I still connect 2 nd monitor to my cpu ?? With the help of vga splitter
Each monitor has to connect to the computer. A splitter is used if you want the same display to be shown on multiple monitors. If you want to use extended screens, you'll need to connect the 2nd monitor to the computer somehow. You may be able to use a USB to VGA adapter. It may or may not work
IF you have 2 ports in one monitor but only one port on my of can I connect the second monitor to the main monitor that has 2 ports?
Each monitor has to connect to the computer. I don't believe there's any way to daisy chain monitors together.
Can we match the colors?
how do you set up so it shows your game on one monitor and your browser/spotify etc on the other ?
You gotta do that in the game settings
what if its not detecting the second one
It won't happen windows and BIOS both smart to auto detect it .
If not the wire have issues or connector.
Make sure your second monitor is turned on and plugged in
@@SilentGhost318most stupid comment in youtube history
Dual hdmi adapter
mine won’t detect it either
TIP: For people who cant access there second monitor but it’s showing your day to day apps. LITERALLY go to settings and make the blue rectangle where your monitor are placed. If ur main mon is placed on your right and in setter its on the left 🚫
So I'm trying to find a way to stream my switch, there's too much lag doing it on one monitor I have no idea how to set it up for two
The lag is the capture what capture card are you using?
So if i have a GPU with 2 hdmi and 2 display ports, do i plug in both hdmi + display port for each monitor? ty
Just 1 port for each monitor
@@PCBrosTech Okay thanks, from my searching it seems display ports has better performance than hdmi
I have a question, if I have two HDMI ports in the PC, can I just put these 2 monitors in to these two HDMI ports and that's it?
Yep. You should be able to do that.
@@JJFlores197 alright thank you!
My pc have 1 HDMI And 1 VGA Port..So can I connect 2 monitors using these ports? Is it any problem in working?
Shouldn't be a problem
How to use a single mouse while I’m playing game on one monitor?should I use 2 mouse for 2nd monitor while gaming to use 2nd monitor
??? You just use your computer mouse as normal. It makes no sense to buy a mouse for the 2nd display. Otherwise, I'm not sure I understand your dilemma.
@@JJFlores197Hes asking if the mouse does not work for the second monitor
does thid really require a gpu? my pc only has a integrated graphics card (amd ryzen pro 4650g vega 7)
You can
When I click something on monitor 2 it respons on monitor 1 , How do I get round that please ?
Click extended display
What splitter/adapter I get if I just got 1 hdmi port
HDMI, 1 in 2 out adapter. On Amazon looks like it's about $10
@@PCBrosTechwould it be ok if you can send a link for it I’m afraid of getting the wrong that just duplicate my screen instead of extending.
so an issue I have is that I have an old gaming monitor HP omen brand and another new monitor is Aopen, the Omen brand is display cable and the AOpen is HDMI. The issue is that both are connected to the graphics card but only one displaying is the Aopen and my pc is not recognizing the display port Omen brand, would I need to have them both on HDMI and on a splitter for them both to work?
What graphics card do you have? Most gaming cards support multiple monitors. Can you confirm that the HP Omen monitors works fine if it is the only monitor connected?
@@JJFlores197 okay so on my end, I was pressing a wrong button that wasn't the actual power button XD so it's all good
I’ve got a 49 inch ultra wide and wanna run 2 27 inch screens on the side anyone know if it’s possible
If your graphics cards has the ports for it, sure.
Do you have a video that shows how to duplicate monitor to TV? Cant get mine back to duplicate, Just shows etend option. no matter what i do it goes back to extend3ed monitors.Please help!!!
Nope, but that’s a good video idea! We might just hafta do it
So i found out how to duplicate monitors. Use the Windows key +R and it will show you 4 options to choose from.
Try windows key +p it should give you option to duplicate
I am not really smart at technology, but these are the two cords I need to have two dual monitors working correctly?
Yes
i understand the problem but i still want to confirm, i just got a new monitor thats 180hz so im using that as my main monitor but my other monitor thats 75hz is going to be on the side, i have 3 display ports and one hdmi port on my gpu output, however neither came with a display port only with hdmi, so i can only have one on at the same time, i already ordered a display port for my new monitor but why is it that the gpu port is the only port that is outputting video? why cant i use the motherboards hdmi port?
also, my gpu is a rtx 2060 so does the gpu affect output ports?
Can I set up dual monitors if they are different brands
yup :). (love the profile pic!)
But, How to use those two monitors for separate tasks simultaneously?
Like watching YT in Monitor1 and browsing Wikipedia in Monitor2 at the same time
Yo open 2 browser windows. Move one of them to the other monitor. You can now use 2 different websites simultaneously.
One of my monitors won’t come on I can’t plug both in or one doesn’t come on😢
Dose my apple imac desk computer use any monitor?
Depends on the iMac in question. From what I recall, most Apple computers from the past 13 years support HDMI.
Thank you
Will connecting two monitors to one GPU connect the two monitors together?
By default, they will be duplicated. Meaning whatever is being displayed on your main monitor gets duplicated to the other monitor. You can setup an extended display so that you have 2 independent screens. You can change it in Display settings: Settings>System>Display
I dont have gpu What should i buy? I have dvi and hmi port in my monitor
how many ports are on your motherboard?
It is not letting me drag over
what if it won’t detect a second monitor?
how to we type in second screen when our keyboard is in first screen
You move the mouse over to the second screen and click on the item you want to write. Then, you can start typing.
Wow all this time. I just have to drag the monitors 😴 thanks for the vid!
Does this works on ps5 ?
It’s 2023. Daisy chain with display port.
Is 500 psu enough to run 2 desktop monitors?
That has nothing to do with the monitors. The power supply provides power to the components in your PC, like a graphics card. What you need to see is how many ports your graphics card has.
