Kevin, the best setup I came up with is an ultra wide monitor (34 inch) along with a portrait mode monitor (24 inch) to read long articles. This set up is perfect for a workstation and the size of monitors are bare minimum.

@@randy9046 funny enough, I used to use two monitors but switched to one when I bought an ultra wide. It’s like two monitors but without the split in the middle. When I film, I still use two though.

@@randy9046 I have notebook with 24 inch monitor above and an LG ultra wide to the left in portrait mode. Besides reading long articles, I can finally enjoy looking at vertical phone media. Another benefit is the Phone screen from "Phone Link" looks great on a large screen.

@@AdamsTaiwan yep, it seems that having second monitor in a portrait mode improves productivity as in these days multi tasking is a necessity as far as laptop monitor I use only for zoom meetings and chating.

Kevin, what software do you use to record like, Bandicam, Obs Studio, Streamlabs obs, what?

Great!! I am also a teacher in my school in Nepal and this video helped me to setup my monitors. Now I can help my students.

How do you connect 2 monitors to a laptop and have both show different things? When I connect with an HDMI splitter the 2 monitors I connected are showing same picture.

@@easams101 Windows Button + P then from the options choose "Extend." However, there are some HDMI splitters on Amazon that are only capable of mirroring your image so I'd double check the details on the listing page of the HDMI splitter if choosing extend does not work.

​@@easams101I have the same issue

Thanks for the note Natalie!

Ok?

For what..... ??

So you can use Google on another side. 🤣

For those who doubt it, an extra screen helps me to expand the windows more and avoid clogging

Slick setup!

@@easams101 You do not need a HDMI splitter for what your asking, so unfortunately it was a waste, a simple regular HDMI will just do the trick @easams101 on windows hold down the windows key, and click p at the same time. A pop-up should slide in on the right of your screen, there are multiple options: Duplicate: the one you have one which duplicates the screen from your main monitor on the second, being a mirror Second screen only: turns off your main display and uses only thr second one Primary display only: turns off your secondary display and uses only your main one Extend: the one you are looking for, makes it essential one giant screen where you can drag windows on and have different content showing and both screens on.

Sure thing!

Agreed

I totally agree, great tutorial

I wish he specified which device to do the settings on. I am lost because I don’t know weather to do it on my monitor or my laptop

Welcome onboard! 👍

While your level of technology knowledge may be high, many people are not aware of the differences between HDMI, USB-C/Thunderbolt, USB-A, DisplayPort, VGA, and DVI. Kevin is showing people how to identify the ports on their computers and monitors, and demonstrating how to find the cables that they need. This is important information when connecting more than one monitor to a PC, which is what this video is about.

Good call out... largely depends on the graphics card. RTX 3080 supports up to 4 displays. Consumer-grade cards generally don't offer support for more than 4 displays.

That's an awesome one! Thanks for sharing! I'll be using this moving forward 👍
