    TV as 2nd monitor


    Hello, I hope you can help! I have a Dell Inspiron 3847 desktop PC. I ran an HDMI cable from the single HDMI port on the back panel of my PC to the HDMI-2 port on the TV, I have set the PC display settings to duplicate the screens and all was working fine, I switch to input 2 on the TV, change the audio output on PC to TV and im using my TV as a 2nd monitor. Until now... Now I get a no signal message on the TV when I switch inputs, I have not made any changes to PC or installed/deleted anything. I have swapped out the 1 + 2 hdmi ports on the tv and both are operational. I have purchased a new

    2nd Monitor in Windows 10

    Unlike other posts on the subject, my system partially recognises the 2nd monitor.

    I was running my HD TV thru HDMI as a second monitor under Win 7.1 successfully. I upgraded to Win 10, and the system does not detect the tv. When I boot up, the windows logo appears on the TV, but after logging on I only get a blank screen. I have tried
    various 2nd monitor setting, tried dectecting in the display settings and control panel, with no success. The fact that I get theWin logo suggests that whilst booting up the system is using only the BIOS settings and therefore recognising the TV. After logging
    on it seems to use the windows settings.

    Any suggestions?
