    Display 2 not showing


    I have an issues (literally yesterday 2/11/2019) one of my monitors stops showing up


    I have Surface Pro and a dock.


    -If I plug in one monitor at a time they both work and will extend screen.

    -If I plug in two monitors one of them will not display anything. In the 'Display' window it detects the second and third monitors but one is greyed out and is 'Not Ative' and will not let me reconnect.

    -I have also tried using a second Surface Hub and the effect is the same - so as thescreen are working independently, the hub is working I guess it must be windows


    Any ideas? Display 2 not showing d9d1b7ea-4148-49f7-a41c-350c704d1cb4?upload=true.png Display 2 not showing 4275b629-8ffc-4b3b-9cbe-763d345c4df4?upload=true.png

    Hi Maheen,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    Try the steps listed here and check if it helps:

    Method 1:

      Device manager.
    • Double-click on Display Adapters to expand.
    • Right-click on the display adapter driver that is listed and select properties.

    4870x2 won't display at 1680x1050 at all!

    OK. Now I know what ur problem is. Step by step:
    1. Go to Catalyst Control Center
    2. Click on the word "Graphic" right on top left corner. It will display drop down menu
    3. Click on Display monitor and will see the list of monitor at near bottom
    4. Right Click the monitor and select "Configure". It will show up the window
    5. There will be 3 option to select. Select the middle one and then click on the tab which show the bar with 15%.
    6. Drag the bar to max, and the screen will stretch to the native resolution 1680x1050.
    7. Also click the tab with showing RGB drop down list and select the last one (it will change to image quality for pc).
    That's it. Good Luck.
