    Color Display on 2nd monitor

    I am using Windows 10 on a Dell laptop with a 2nd monitor which has been working fine. For some unknown reason I have suddenly lost the full color range on the 2nd monitor. I don't know if I have changed some setting by accident or what. I have tried
    resetting the defaults but that didn't change anything on the 2nd monitor. The primary screen on the laptop continues to work fine. Any suggestions what needs to be done to restore the full color range on monitor #2?

  3. 2nd Monitor in Windows 10

    Unlike other posts on the subject, my system partially recognises the 2nd monitor.

    I was running my HD TV thru HDMI as a second monitor under Win 7.1 successfully. I upgraded to Win 10, and the system does not detect the tv. When I boot up, the windows logo appears on the TV, but after logging on I only get a blank screen. I have tried
    various 2nd monitor setting, tried dectecting in the display settings and control panel, with no success. The fact that I get theWin logo suggests that whilst booting up the system is using only the BIOS settings and therefore recognising the TV. After logging
    on it seems to use the windows settings.

    Any suggestions?

    Hi Billy,

    This is Wil, one of the independent advisor and an expert with Windows 10.

    I understand your concern with Multiple displays.

    To get your PC to recognize multiple monitors:

    1. Verify that your cables are connected properly to the new monitors.

    2. Select how you want the desktop to display. You can press the Windows logo key + P and select an option, or use the following steps if you need more settings options.

    3. Right-click anywhere on your desktop and select Display settings to open the Display page. Your PC should automatically detect your monitors and show your desktop. If you don't see the monitors, select Detect.

    4. Scroll down to Multiple displays, then select an option from the drop-down list to determine how your desktop will display across your screens. For the largest work area, select Extend desktop.

    5. Select Keep changes.

    6. Scroll up to Resolution and select an option. We suggest that you use the recommended resolution settings.

    7. Select Keep changes.
