Connecting to multiple monitors










Under windows, it is possible to connect multiple monitors enabling simultaneous displays in view to extend the office size and rely on a larger working area.

To proceed with this feasibility, it is however compulsory to acquire graphic card like pci, pci express or agp to be integrated on your computer.


Once you have installed the graphics cards and monitors connected:

Double click on Control Panel > Display and select the tab Settings.


- In the Display dialog box, choose the card to use, then check the box Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitorand select Ok.


If the display is unique, you should however install the latest drivers for your graphics card!

The graphics card is the primary monitor on which the system will start.


To change the screen serving as primary monitor, turn off the system and reverse video cables. This is not possible through the system!
