    Issue hooking up a 2nd monitor to my laptop


    I have a 2nd monitor connected to my laptop via VGA or Serial cable not sure which it is. I have all of the settings correctly input, but the extended screen will not show up on both monitors laptop/secondary. It will only show on one or the other. Is there a patch or something that I can download to fix this issue?

    :)

    Color Display on 2nd monitor

    I am using Windows 10 on a Dell laptop with a 2nd monitor which has been working fine. For some unknown reason I have suddenly lost the full color range on the 2nd monitor. I don't know if I have changed some setting by accident or what. I have tried
    resetting the defaults but that didn't change anything on the 2nd monitor. The primary screen on the laptop continues to work fine. Any suggestions what needs to be done to restore the full color range on monitor #2?

    Issue hooking up a 2nd monitor to my laptop

    Dell Monitor Camera

    I have a Dell Monitor hooked to a Dell XPS Laptop. I want to use the monitor camera not the laptop camera. I've tried the suggestions from a closed thread about activating the camera but when I try the steps it keeps going to the laptop camera.

    Suggestions or am I asking the impossible.
