Thread: Dual monitors
Tiago 15:29 22nd May 2017
First time i did it i also had strange colors, but in my case, i was able to config each monitor.
This weekend i bought a Samsung led fhd sf350fhu 24". I am happy with it.
So now i have my main laptop screen at full hd my new Sansung 24" at Full HD via HDMI and an LCD TV Sansung via RGB at (1366x768)

The LCD TV with HDMI can make fullhd but with VGA can only output 1366x768. Is this normal?

Anyway i have a question now:
My Laptop has a Nvidea GeForce 745M and a intel onboard card.
So when i use HDMI and VGA is he using the Nvidea or the onboard card? I Guess if if is bu duplication is the Nvidia, but what about expantion screens? Is is all the Nvidea or does he uses the onboard card?

Don't you have any DVI or Displayport ports on your graphics card? Would give better output.
I just swapped the cables now, same result. Swapped back again, but strangely enough the second shows now 1080p plus the YPbPr color, and the first is 1920*1080 and RGB??

What do you mean? My GPU has 1 DVI and 1 HDMI, thus the 2 monitors are connected.

The second one seems warmer, although I set them up completely identically. You know what I mean, the white is not pure white, like the LED light bulbs, warm white and more yellow, higher Kelvin values.

EDIT: I noticed now in AMD Catalyst Control Center, that my 1st monitor has a Color Temperature Control setting under Display Color, and the new one hasn't. Because it's set t0 6500K, and when I slide it down a bit, like 500K, it looks like the new one.

EDIT 2: I did it!!!

After restarting the PC after a GPU driver update, I started AMD Catalyst Control Center again, and this time, like before, it swapped again both settings, so that this time I was able to change the temperature of my second monitor. The first one I left at 6500K, and the second one I just raised to 6700K, now they're both quite identical

Also added a little bit of saturation to the second monitor.

I get similar, or if anyone sees my office at home comment "do you need all those monitors?". It's one of those jokes getting very thin.

I still know people whom still can't comprehend that the monitor is not the computer.

Nice. I was going to suggest looking at the colour temperature.

One thing to note. Sometimes monitors will show less settings depending on how they are connected. HDMI normally offers less control compared to dvi or displayport.
