- Step by step guide on how to connect your monitor to a laptop. I talk about adapters, cables, and what setting to use for the best experience.
I recommend getting a 4k 60Hz USB C adapter. The one I'm using in the video is a cheap one and can only do 4k 30Hz.

I spent 45 minutes on the AOC website trying to figure out how to change the new monitor settings and get my sound back, before searching to find your video. You did more for me in 6 minutes than the mfr did ever! Thanks a ton. You have a new subscriber!
This was super helpful with additional tips that felt like you were reading my mind (e.g., lost sound when adding the 2nd monitor) along with bonus tips I didn't expect but were so useful, such as changing the options when closing the lid on my laptop. Great pace and step by step. Thanks!!
Thank you so much for making this video. I originally didn't think I had the right equipment to begin with. But I found your video and solved my problems within seconds. Again I have to thank you so much for helping me with this as now I can set up my streams for twitch way better now. Hope the rest of your day is wonderful dude!
Thank you!!! I was already going crazy trying to set my monitor up, and i saw another video that had me update my videocard driver and still didnt fix my problem... but your solution worked and now I have different applications running on my laptop and monitor! You are simply the best!!!
This was incredibly helpful, was able to setup my monitor to my laptop at the same length of time as the video. Thank you
Simple and easy instructions. Thank you.
For connecting second monitors I hear it's much better to use a docking station which gets you more connections and is safer, reliable. Well that's what I'm gonna be getting!
This was awesome. I felt so old trying to find these settings. :D
What a great video, helps A LOT in the beginning.
Thank you for this video. I was able to follow along easily and make the adjustments I needed. Great job !

I just got a new one I really wanted it to work. Thank you! I have one question, how'd you do it while watching?
Words cannot describe how perfect this video was. Thanks bro
thank you so much ive been trying to get the extended displays for so long lol i never knew it was so simple
This was there helpful thanks
very helpful. thank you
Thank you sir. God bless you brother.
so ive got a second monitor which is larger in size but the same resolution, but i want to set it up to scale and its not letting me. How do i go about setting it up so that when panning to screen to screen, my mouse moves straight across laterally rather than jumping to the bottom of the other screen
Perfect what I needed. Easy and quick
Can you use the keyboard on the laptop but only display on the extended monitor and nothing on the laptops display?
thank you for the video !
Thank you much. Easy to follow step by step instructions. The extra bonus was very helpful!!!
Thanks this worked for me
i know this is super old but my monitor at work doesn't have an HDMI port, there are just two ports, one connects to power and the other connects to the CPU, I want to use it as a second screen with my laptop, is there a way?
my monitor doesn't have a power button and it's an AOC monitor, it got usb type B and VGA port, can i connect it to my laptop? my laptop has hdmi port
Do I have to connect two monitors in two different out from pc?
I used one out fromnpc and used split adaptor...now I only get mirror image on the two monitor?.
If I want extend the monitor do I need to connect separately?.
Please advice.
Thankyou.
I set up my hdmi cable and its mirroring both screens but when i go into settings it still only detects one monitor. how do i fix this? i only have one hdmi port on my tower so i bought an hdmi splitter and plugged both hdmi cables into it then one each into both the monitors but its only mirroring the other monitor. do i have to use a different cable instead of using two hdmi cables?
I figured out my problem, I had my laptop on the left, and my monitor on the right, so I had to move my cursor to the right to switch it. Thank you so much!
this helped me alot thx
nice tutorial!
it is working properly, thank you bro✔✔✔✔✔✔
If i play first person game and i move it to the right does it change monitor? I HOPE NOT

ok, how bout my problem, when i open a game on one screen and click on the other, it will exit the game and minimize it, making it teriibly inefficent, and for elden ring, it is way to difficult to put it from minimized to regular
I have a problem. The mouse only moves in my monitor, but not my laptop and when I gointo the settings it only shows up on the laptop screen so I can't select anything because the mouse is stuck in the monitor screen...... what should I do!?
Can I just use a portable external monitor or do I need an actual computer monitor as my second screen?
What if my monitor only supports DVI port? do i have to buy a HDMI to DVI connector or USB-C to DVI connector?
When I tried to open it doesn't work. It shows the command line interface for one second and it dissappears. Any ideas? Thank you
How did you stand your laptop up so it’s next to the monitor.
Thanks You so much !
I have a question. Can you connect monitor to a all in one computer? Will it work same like a dual monitor setup?
The split option works fine for me until I start playing the sims 4..... then the expand screen/split screen option doesn't work anymore....beacause I only can play the sims 4 and nothing more unfortunately.... How comes???.... I would love to play the sims 4 on 1 screen and use my internet browser on the other screen.....
I think i've just bought the wrong kind of lead. I bought a new laptop recently, a ASUS Vivobook flip 14 and i'm trying to run a second display on a Samsung monitor; like basically so i can do multiple tasks at once (like you described). But this particular laptop only has micro/mini HDMI ports and usb ports. So i bought a HDMI - HDMI micro lead/cable and connect laptop to monitor thinking that would do the job; but my laptop is not detecting it, so i guess i need to buy that other kind of lead.
Tried to connect a monitor to my laptop which showed 1|2 in the display, but could not seem to mirror or extend the display at all. It clearly detected the monitor because I could see it in Advanced Display Settings. It was as if the monitor refused to get a signal from the laptop. The monitor works perfectly fine with a desktop.
Man can you tell me if you already have these cables in the box with the monitor when you buy it or you have to buy the cables separated?
Sir 😢 i need your help.. my laptop has a broken screen i cant even see and change the setting to display.. i also connect the HDMI😢 but still nothing happen😢
Thanks Dude!!
