Windows 10: Display Setups

I hadn't thought of this option for the longest time, until this past week when putting a fourth monitor in place.
I thought this post may be helpful for others.

If you have a 'whacky' setup like the mess I've got, you might be inclined to drag your mouse/cursor in the natural direction of the next physical screen, instead of moving in a straight left to right motion according to the default screen array.
With my setup, it was driving me crazy, so I settled on satisfactory setup then changed the screen schematics.

When doing this, it's a good idea to close all programs and don't have any items on any desktops.

Triple Display Setup

I have one Dell Inspiron laptop, and recently purchased two identical Dell 23" monitors.

When I plug both displays in via VGA (through a Monoprice VGA splitter) both monitors work, however they're only detected as a single monitor, and everything is duplicated, and I need to be able to extend the views, rather than duplicate.

I've downloaded the latest drivers as far as I know, and my computer is still only detecting one out of the two monitors as a display. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated!!

 

Triple Display Setup

Hi

Open Settings / System / Display.

In the Multiple displays section, use the drop down menu to select the
Extend these displays option.

Click Apply.

You may need to restart the computer to make the change.

How useful is the touchscreen for you? I am sure you still use the mouse. *Biggrin
Nice setup, btw. *Smile

 

Thanks. I'm kinda hopin, when all is said and done in W10, the touch screen will have as much functionality as a tablet; it's kind of half baked in the TP.
Works good in W8, but I like the edge swipes in W10 better.
It's nice to get right on top of your work with some applications.
Still experimenting for now.
