What monitors are you looking at this Black Friday? Let me know!

[@arinzeanikokwu4940]

Hey bro, this didn’t work for me, i use an intel card and my pc has only a vga port.

[@stevenlogue794]

Same, didnt work for me either. I can see the second monitor box, but it wont let me check it.

[@Xaezyy]

@@stevenlogue794 did you fix it? I cant check the second box either

[@Zouldin]

I’m legit about to kill NVDIA Giving me so many problems since I got it then actually helping smh, since I’m not familiar with pc it’s been more of a problem then helpful tbh, but thanks for the video it did help

[@nerta6852]

no way it was just as simple as one not being checked! thank you so much it was so frustrating

[@LimeJ0SH]

for those having issues "detecting" their 2nd montior AND are using the hdmi port from their mother board on the 2nd monitor: Check to see if your CPU supports integrated graphics, if so load up your BIOS boot window. I use an AMD GPU with an intel CPU and i went up to the "search" feature and typed in "Display" or "Monitor" to show an option to enable multple display setting. After I did that I could finally detect my 2nd monitor and begin the process of setting it up.
Hope it helps since it took me like 1 hr to figure this out and thank you for the video

[@anuragpandey9945]

For me none of this worked, my graphics driver was updated already, I tried uninstalling, reinstalling, performing a roll back of the Nvidia driver to a previous stable version. Stopped and started the Nvidia processes in the services app, tried all the hacks I possibly could in the display settings section, none worked. I remembered that recently I had turned the "Intel Virtual Technology" feature ON from the BIOS settings for a software I wanted to use, so I turned it back OFF, and my second monitor immediately came back on. That was it. For any other folks who might have the same problem.

[@gianlucaoliveri5477]

How did you do it? I tried switching it off from the BIOS but I couldn't find it! 😕

[@user-mx9kh4im1s]

@@gianlucaoliveri5477Hold the shift key while restarting the device from the windows tab, and it will take you to a blue screen titled ‘Choose an option’, click troubleshoot, advanced options, then click on UEFI firmware settings and click the restart button. After the computer restarts, it should take you there

[@stqirx]

@@user-mx9kh4im1swhat does this do?

[@faithfamilyandfuntech5062]

I had my crg9 49 inch working fine on surface pro 8 I moved to an all in one pc hp with 4k and I get a monitor undetected I tried using wireless display adapter vs hdmi and it works but lacks 4k recognition so I get a middle picture but unable to get full extend screen any ideas

[@swatibhargava4140]

Thanks a lot!!!!! Your video was a savior! I was troubleshooting since a few days and nothing helped (checked connections, updated drivers etc) , UNTIL I TRIED YOUR RECOMMENDATION!! Thanks a lot for taking out time to share about checking NVIDIA settings! None of the google searches mentioned looking into that, but that’s what helped me in my case!

[@Gamja1344]

Thank you so much. I was searching for solution for hours and I was so frustrated and nearly bought a new monitor. Your video was my last hope and it fixed my problem.

[@pricebrazzel5507]

theres no display dropdown in my nvidia settings. only 3d settings and video. Any advice?

[@user-oo3tf9sj5d]

same here

[@JcapNoCap]

For those who can’t select their second monitor in nvidia, I fixed that issue by going into my settings-Bluetooth & devices-devices, and deleted my second monitor from my devices. I then went back to my display setting and hit detect which actually detected my monitor, and finally I was able to select the monitor in nvidia.

[@imaginelol8045]

i spent a total of 4 years tryna get 2 monitors hooked up, trying all diff cords and adapters, this INSTANTLY fixed it LOL im so sad, tysm tho!

[@Hunter-ed4wv]

thank you so much!! Fixed my issue!

[@flqxyy]

Thank you so much man.

[@wtunstall713]

Thanks so much perfect explaination

[@raqueltadewosian9442]

I just bought a new HP laptop and per the MS support, if I'm trying to use a display splitter extend display to more than one external monitor, you won't be able to. The splitter is duplicating the same original signal instead of creating two independent signals. My laptop only has one video output port, which by default only supports a single external monitor. I need to support one more monitor by using the splitter, but again it won't work :-(. I also bought a new splitter, again didn't work. Do you suggest I need an USB to video output splitter? This is extremely frustrating. Thanks in advance!

[@Midlawz]

THANK YOU BROTHER !

LEGEND is right! Easy and perfect fix!!! Thank you.

fixed it, unplugged the plug from the monitor and restarted my display drivers by hitting the Windows key + Ctrl + Shift + B and then replugged my monitor and then restarted my display drivers again. Hopefully this works for some people as well

[@Flammefaen]

I had issues with my 2nd monitor as well, had to unplug the power and plug it again, worked when I did that.

[@Fragranceeducation]

Thank you man❤

[@bigsacred5209]

thank you , only one every worked

[@ISM.7767]

I have this problem where both NVIDIA control panel and display settings only detects the second monitor but shows a duplicate screen on both monitors. I think it could be due to the fact that I have an HDMI splitter and my pc only has one HDMI port.

[@xfafwg]

Did you fix it

[@313FLASH]

did u find a way to fix it bro ive been struggling with the same exact thing and i need a solution asap bruh

[@Eternal_Tech]

An HDMI splitter will send the same video signal to both monitors. Therefore, you will not be able to extend the displays using an HDMI splitter, if that is what you are attempting to do.
