Can I connect 2 monitors to my laptop?
Connect two monitors to a laptop when only one port is available. Even if your laptop only has a single HDMI or USB-C port, you can connect dual monitors. Using a suitable HDMI splitter, a USB-C dongle, or a USB-C dongle with HDMI interface, you can easily connect two or more monitors to your laptop.
How do you connect a monitor to a laptop and use both screens?
Most laptops also come with ports that allow you to hook up an external monitor. Plug a monitor into your laptop's DisplayPort, DVI, or HDMI port and Windows will allow you to use both your laptop's integrated display and the external monitor at once (see the instructions in the next section).
How do I make two monitors display different things?
To get the monitors to show different things, each monitor must be attached to a separate video port on your computer. Attach the second monitor to the extra VGA or DVI port on your computer.
