    Absolutely the most concise and direct description I've seen as to how to accomplish this. I love my desktop but it's giving me problems so I was considering buying another one until I saw this video and realized how easy it is to use my laptop and get the same big screen that I prefer! Thank you so much!!!!

    thank you, i was trying to figure out why, when i closed my laptop lid, that the big screen would have a screen tearing effect in the middle of the screen, it was so annoying, the only thing that was fixing it before this video, was leaving my laptop partially open, but lowered enough that it wasnt distracting. but now i can close the lid without screen tearing because you showed me the multiple screen display options. i didnt know about it since this is my first time using multiple displays.

    Hmmm. Mine was set to "Hibernate" for battery & plugged in. I've never had a problem with my monitors working when the laptop's lid was closed - until today. The monitor screens literally went black as I sat in the chair at the desk. No amount of key-tapping would make the monitors come alive. Thank you!

  • @mikewil7571
    @mikewil7571 3 года назад +53

    Don't close the lid with an Alienware or any other laptop that has holes for heat exhausting on the keyboard side of the chassis, otherwise the heat will blow onto your screen and wreck your laptop's screen.
