Get more done with extra screen space
Do you use multiple monitors with your computer?
Many users find that dual monitors are a great way to improve their productivity.
To set up dual monitors on your PC, you’ll need to make sure that your video card and monitor both support this feature. Once you’ve confirmed that they do, it’s simply a matter of connecting the cables and making some adjustments in your operating system settings. Let’s take a closer look at how to set up dual monitors on a PC:
1. Start by attaching the two monitors to your computer, using the relevant cables for each one. Most PCs come with an extra VGA port or DVI port on the back of the case that is specifically designed for additional monitors.
2. Once the monitors are connected, you’ll need to make some changes in your computer’s operating system settings to enable dual monitor support. On a Windows PC, simply go to Start > Settings > Display and select “Multiple displays” from the menu on the left-hand side of the window.
3. From this menu, you can adjust things like which monitor is currently active and whether or not your mouse cursor appears on both monitors at once (known as “extended mode”). In addition, there are options for setting up a secondary desktop that only appears when using multiple monitors, for those who want to maximize their productivity!
4. Finally, it’s important to restart your computer after making these changes in your operating system, to ensure that everything is properly configured. Once you’ve done that, you’re all set and ready to start using dual monitors on your PC!
