i have a problem to connect 2 monitors.

Hi Ron,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

• What changes did you make in the BIOS? As making the changes in the BIOS is only recommended by Microsoft if done by the manufacturer.
  

• How are you connecting to the 2nd monitor?

I suggest you to follow the steps from this article below:

[Applies to Windows 10 as well]

Regards.

 

Extending monitors or cloning Problems win 10

Hi Brad,

It seems the it was not identified yet as to which monitor should be the main display or the secondary display. For us to sort this out, let's ensure that your PC monitor is set as the primary or the main display. Follow these steps:

1. Make sure to plug in both monitors (HP monitor and 4K HDTV).
2. Once done, navigate to Settings > System > Display.
3. Click the Identify button to display the number of the monitors to match with the display.
4. Once identified, set your PC monitor as the main display.

Now, if your HP monitor still shows up as display 2 even if it's already set as the main, then it has something to do with the ports where the monitors are connected. There's a possibility that it's not connected to the NVIDIA graphics card. You may have
to unplug it and move it to the port where your TV is currently connected and vise versa. Once done, check your display settings again and see if your HP monitor now appears as display 1.

With regard to the resolution, there's a possibility that your NVIDIA graphics card can only throw the maximum resolution shown on the options. I suggest that you use the maximum or the recommended. For more information about the resolution the graphics
card can support, you may get in touch with the NVIDIA support for assistance.

Looking forward to your reply.

 

Things to do once connected new G-Sync monitor

I'm getting my G-Sync monitor today.

I think I have to take the following steps:

• Connect 1440p G-sync monitor with DP cable
• Connect second 1080p 60Hz monitor by HDMI
• Startup PC
• Reinstall display driver
• Restart PC (I always do that after display driver install)
• Activate G-Sync in NV control panel (I believe also V-Sync is auto on after that?)
• Set my 1440p monitor from 1080p to 1440p
• Calibrate my 1440p monitor

Also ingame, I should turn off V-Sync?
Are there any problems running a second 60Hz 1080p monitor?

Is there anything else I should do/know?
