  1. When using Extend monitor, the monitor extended is going to sleep


    I need some assistance. I have a new Acer monitor that I hooked to my X1 Carbon Lenovo laptop. When I am in duplicate monitor mode everything works great. However when I put the computer in extend mode, I am having issues. The monitor extends as expected, but if I do not have any activity for 60 seconds, the monitor goes to sleep which forces my computer to go to sleep and the lock screen comes up. Obviously this is not helpful because many times I am in a meeting watching a presentation. If I wiggle my mouse every 30 seconds, the issue goes away but that is not a practical solution.


    I have Window10 on the laptop. I have tried ever power setting that I can think of. I know I am missing something obvious so any help would be greatly appreciated.

    :)

  2. extending monitors

    Hello,

    I hope I can help you today

    solote allow two monitors but here I leave this possible solution

    Step 1

    Connect a monitor to the normal video card, using the necessary cable (DVI, VGA or HDMI). This will be the main screen, so place it directly in front of your computer's cabinet.

    Step 2

    Connect the second monitor to the alternative port of the video card, and then restart the computer. The PC will automatically detect the second monitor.

    Step 3

    Go to the "Show options" window by right clicking on the desktop, then select the "Properties" option. From there, click on the second monitor (which will appear in the drop-down menu), and then activate the "Extend my desktop on this screen" checkbox.

    Step 4

    Connect the third monitor to your original video card (if it has three outputs) or to another video card, and then restart the computer one more time.

    Step 5

    Go to the "Show options" window by right clicking on the desktop, then select the "Properties" option. From there, click on the third monitor (which will appear in the drop-down menu), and then activate the "Extend my desktop to this screen" checkbox

    regards...

  3. extended monitor

    Hi,

    I'm trying to have a dual monitor, I'm currently using acer monitor 17inch. I accidentally change the resolution of the extended monitor to the recommended resolution of my laptop (lenovo ideapad s145) which is not compatible to the extended monitor, now
    the extended monitor is not working anymore.

    How can I default the resolution from my laptop? Should I try a factory reset?

    Monitor extend

    I have an issue with monitor extend. When I tried to extend the monitor, the monitor didn't react properly, it looks like the monitor is freeze but the cursor is visible and you can moving the cursor but when I tried clicking on an object on the screen
    or use right click nothing happened. Other monitor projection works, when I tried to detect monitors, system see both monitors.

    I already tried update graphics, restart notebook (DELL Latitude) but nothing happened.
