Question about dual monitors.


Nov 4, 2020, 2:15 PM

Ever since I've been full time remote I've been using a 27" monitor, but I just got two 22" monitors and set them up. Thing is I only have one HDMI input on my laptop and no cradle. I tried hooking the second monitor up via USB but Windows can't find it.

I only have another week with this company and the new one will probably provide a cradle. Just surprised I can't connect a monitor through USB.

TIA

Nah this one is more oval shaped, most newer laptops have it

You can get a USB-C to HDMI adapter that should work well if so.

If not, you're best going with some sort of docking station.

Lol, docking

How many hdmi ports on your monitors?


Nov 4, 2020, 2:34 PM

Can you hook them in series?
No clue just guessing

Looks like just one.

There's some other kind of input that says DP, which I just assume stands for double penetration.

Using an adaptor to get to USB?


Nov 4, 2020, 2:41 PM

If so, do you have the drivers? Why do you care? You've only got a week left and it is time to pass off tasks.

I've got two extra monitors set up already, can I have your old job?

badge-donor-05yr.jpgringofhonor-aero.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

It's just USB to USB.


Nov 4, 2020, 2:49 PM

You make some compelling points. You don't want my old job. Sounds like I'm getting out at the right time.

I like this one because it has "hole" in the name.
