Hook up multiple monitors

What Is Needed to Run Two Monitors Off of One Computer?

July 12, Ask a new question. I have two monitors plugged into an HDMI splitter, which is plugged into my work laptop. Although both monitors are connected, the laptop will only detect one at a time. Each monitor works if it is the only monitor connected, but when both monitors are connected, only one monitor will be detected. I have followed every online answer I could find, and nothing has worked. I've updated the driver, deleted and reinstalled the driver, changed the refresh rate, changed the resolution, I've tried detecting a new display in my windows settings - nothing is working. Was this reply helpful? Yes No.

Running dual monitors is relatively easy and requires only a few connections and settings adjustments to complete. The dual monitor setup helps with your workflow by making an easy transition between separate but related tasks. No more clicking through multiple tabs or toggling between windows. You can drag windows and programs across the monitors and easily use them together. In some cases, a third monitor is also possible and useful.
