    I recenty bougyt a gaming rig and 2 monitors. I have both monitors plugged in a hdmi splitter workingnperfectly fine. But my 2nd monitor is duplicated on my main monitor and has the same resolution on my main monitor which doesnt have the same resolution as my 2nd monitor. Windows doesnt detect all but 1 monitor but they are connected to the system. How can i fix this?

  2. 2nd Monitor

    Hi

    Thank you for helping me. When it is on duplicated both monitors have same resolution, however, the 2nd monitor the text is unreadable and screen blurred. If on extended my default monitor is fine but the 2nd monitor goes off and my laptop screen comes on.
    I wish to have both default and second monitor displaying at the same time. As it is the 2nd monitor drop down resolution is showing 800x600 and is faded out and unable to change it.

  3. 2nd Monitor


    Monitors connect but it duplicates my 2nd monitor and shows it on my main monitor and... 36e097ff-f842-4a98-9a50-09efba693b40?upload=true.jpg

    I’m running Window 10. I have just connected a 2nd monitor. My default monitor is Eizo CS2420 resolution and needs to remain 1900x1200.

    My 2nd monitor Dell U2412M is duplicating my default monitor however, the screen and icons are far too big and need to change the resolution for the 2nd screen. I have gone into Display Settings clicked on the 2nd screen
    but the icon for changing resolution is faded out and can’t change settings for resolution. When I click on Detect it come up in red ‘Didn’t detect another display’

    The 2nd monitor is not appearing in the control panel

    Original; Title: dual monitor problem

    Have just upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10. In Windows 7 my dual monitor set up worked perfectly but now both screens are identical (duplicated) with everything exactly the same on both. The 2nd monitor is not appearing in the control panel at all
    and any help to solve this would be appreciated.

    I have disconnected the 2nd monitor and tried most things suggested on the forums but no change is the result.
