    I have figured out how to connect my laptop to a large TV screen and I can get my homepage on the TV but I cannot change that screen. How do I fix this?

  2. i have a problem to connect 2 monitors.

    Hi Ron,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    • What changes did you make in the BIOS? As making the changes in the BIOS is only recommended by Microsoft if done by the manufacturer.
    • How are you connecting to the 2nd monitor?
    I suggest you to follow the steps from this article below:

    [Applies to Windows 10 as well]

    Regards.

    Things to do once connected new G-Sync monitor

    I'm getting my G-Sync monitor today.

    I think I have to take the following steps:

    • Connect 1440p G-sync monitor with DP cable
    • Connect second 1080p 60Hz monitor by HDMI
    • Startup PC
    • Reinstall display driver
    • Restart PC (I always do that after display driver install)
    • Activate G-Sync in NV control panel (I believe also V-Sync is auto on after that?)
    • Set my 1440p monitor from 1080p to 1440p
    • Calibrate my 1440p monitor
    Also ingame, I should turn off V-Sync?
    Are there any problems running a second 60Hz 1080p monitor?

    Is there anything else I should do/know?

  4. Connecting to a larger monitor

    projecting to a monitor

    Hi,

    The issue that you’re encountered regarding the display size when you use a different monitor on your
    Windows 10 computer may be caused by some configuration or files mismatched. To sort out your concern, we suggest that you manage the resolution from the
    Settings to make it compatible with the larger monitor that you are using. To do this, you may proceed with the steps below:

    • Click Start > Settings.
    • On the Windows Settings search bar, type resolution.
    • If you're using Windows version 1607, select
      Change the screen resolution.
    • For version 1703 and 1709, select Change the resolution of the display.
    • Under the Resolution section, change the resolution which is similar to the monitor that you are using.
    • Once you’ve changed it, you may check if you’re able to use the larger monitor properly.

    Note: You may go to the manufacturer’s website of the larger monitor that you are using to determine which resolution you are going to choose.

    Keep us updated about your concern for additional assistance.
