    Dual External Monitors using a labtop


    Using a laptop, I want to use Display Duplicate and Display Extended at the same time. I only have one HDMI port. If I get a USB video adapter can I do this?

    External monitor display settings

    Hi,



    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.



    I understand that you are facing issues with the display scaling on your external displays. We will certainly look into this for you.

    As you are using Vizio TV, you may have to try using custom resolution settings if the in-built settings do not provide the required settings.

    For better clarity, please let us know:

    • What is the version of Windows 10 that is currently installed on your computer? You can click on Search and type
      winver.
    • Are you aware of any recent changes to the system, such as updates, after which you are facing this issue?
    • What is the make and model of your computer?


    Meanwhile, I would suggest you to check the steps mentioned in the Workaround section in

    Windows scaling issues for high-DPI devices

    I would also suggest you to check the Display drivers. Please refer

    Troubleshoot external monitor connections in Windows 10

    Let us know how it goes.
