hey guys in this video gonna be walking
you through how to set up a dual monitor
system with your computer now most of
you guys are probably just gonna be
using the integrated graphics that are
in your computer but if you have a
dedicated graphics card GPU then that is
what you're gonna want to be hooked into
but if you don't have that dedicated GPU
then again you're just going to be using
those integrated graphics now if you
have an HDMI port that is what I would
recommend using for your primary monitor
and then whatever port you have left
over that is what you should be using a
4-year second monitor so for this
instance with the dedicated graphics I
would put my primary monitor right here
in the HDMI board and then the DVI port
for my secondary monitor now I'm hooked
into my graphics card and there's a lot
of display ports here none of my
computers have DisplayPort options I'm
hooked in with HDMI to my primary
monitor and then I also have the DVI
going to the secondary monitor so once
you have the respective cords hooked
into the display ports the next thing
that you're gonna want to do is set up
things on your PC itself so that's the
step I'll take you to next alright guys
so now I'm over on my computer and to
change your display settings it's
relatively simple just right on the
desktop itself right-click and then go
down in the menu and click where it says
display settings and then this will
allow you right at the top here to
rearrange your displays how they show up
it's actually exactly how I want it
right now with my primary monitor on the
left in my secondary monitor on the
right but let's just say for instance
your secondary monitor is above your
primary monitor you could set it up like
that or maybe it's over to the left you
could set it up over there or maybe it's
just kind of off to the side there's a
bunch of different ways that you can go
about rearranging your monitors but I'm
gonna put it back to how I had it so
then also when you want to change the
display settings to a specific monitor
just make sure that it is the one
selected and highlighted in blue so for
instance let's say I wanted to change my
secondary monitor to being in portrait
mode so I have it selected here I go
down into my settings and then I can
change the display orientation over to
portrait or portrait flipped or also
landscape flipped if you want to do it
in that manner you can also change the
display resolution as well as the size
of the text
in apps and other items that show on the
display and again whatever monitor that
you want to change those display
settings for just make sure it is
selected and then also there's different
ways that you can have multiple displays
the one that I recommend using most
often is just extending the display but
you can also show only on monitor one
show only on monitor two or you can
duplicate the display so that the same
thing shows on each of them but more
often than not you're probably just
gonna want to extend these displays so
those are the different things that you
can go through in your display settings
to set up your two monitor system I hope
this video was helpful I appreciate you
guys that stopping by and best of luck
until I see you next time
