Connecting multiple monitors will allow you to take a fresh look at working at the computer in the programs, applications and games you are used to. You will be able to place more information and files on the screens. If you connect two 17 "monitors, they can fit more information than a single 21" screen. You will have the opportunity to appreciate the merits of multiple monitors when playing video games. Many manufacturers make it possible to use two or even three monitors to make their games more realistic.
Necessary
Computer, two monitors, video card with two video outputs or two video cards with one video output
Instructions
Step 1
First you need to make sure that your video card supports connecting two monitors, i.e. whether it has two video ports for connection, usually modern video cards support this function. If you haven't found it, then you should buy another video card or get a video card with two ports.
Step 2
Once you have connected the second monitor, you need to turn on the computer. When the OS boots up, your second monitor will not show any image. To turn on and configure the monitor, you need to go to the "Start" menu, "Toolbar". A pop-up menu or window will open in front of you, in it you need to find "Monitor Properties" or "Screen" open with one click. The "Properties" window will open, go to the "Settings" tab, there we will see that two active monitors have appeared, the first is our main monitor, which has already been connected, and the second will be the connected monitor. In order to enable the second one, you need to click on the image of the monitor with the number "2" and check the box "Extend the desktop onto this monitor" or "Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor" here you can also configure each of the monitors individually.
