Two Primary Extended Monitors (Optional TV Connected to Computer)
When you have two primary extended monitors (optional TV connected to your computer), the TV turns on and becomes the cloned monitor #1. To configure it manually whenever it turns on, follow these steps:
Steps to configure the TV as a cloned monitor #1:
- Press the "Input" or "Source" button on your TV remote control to select the correct input source for your computer.
- Go to your computer's display settings and click on "Detect" or "Identify displays" to identify the TV as monitor #1.
- Once the TV is identified, drag and drop it to the position you want as the cloned monitor #1.
- If needed, adjust the resolution and refresh rate of the TV to match the settings of the primary monitor.
- Save the changes and exit the display settings.
Notes:
- Resolution: Make sure the resolution of the TV matches the primary monitor to avoid any scaling issues.
- Refresh Rate: Ensure the refresh rate of the TV is the same as the primary monitor to maintain smooth visuals.
- Orientation: If the TV is rotated horizontally or vertically, adjust the orientation settings accordingly.
