Most laptops support two monitors. If your laptop has at least one video output port (such as an HDMI or VGA port), you can attach an external display via the video port.

  • Some Windows laptops don’t support dual monitors, but all Apple MacBooks do – if you’re using a Mac, skip to the second monitor connection section. [1] X Research Source

Not all desktops support two monitors. Your computer’s graphics card and motherboard determine whether you can use two monitors at the same time. [2] X Research Source

  • Again, if you use an Apple iMac desktop computer, you can use two monitors.

Check your computer’s video output port. Most computers have at least two video output ports; that means you can usually connect to a second monitor. However, if the computer has two (or more) ports that are not in the same row, they do not have the same graphics card and cannot be used to connect two monitors. [3] X Research Sources

  • For example, if you see two HDMI ports side by side horizontally (or vertically), it means your computer’s graphics card supports two monitors. This also applies to other outputs (such as the VGA output in addition to the HDMI output).
  • Desktop Windows computers typically have these three ports on the back of the case.
  • If you only see one video output port on your desktop, your computer’s graphics card only supports one monitor. Laptops with a single video output port can often support multiple monitors.

Determines whether the computer’s motherboard supports two monitors. Nearly all motherboards on newer computers support multiple monitors, but older machines may not. You need to do the following steps to check if the motherboard supports dual monitors:

  • Find the name of the motherboard.
  • Type the name of the motherboard into a search engine (such as Google).
  • Select a search result that lists motherboard features.
  • Look for the “Multi-Display”, “Multi-Monitor” or “Dual Display” feature.

Identify the computer’s video connection port. On the back of your computer’s CPU enclosure (or monitor if it’s an iMac), you’ll see multiple ports; one of those ports is being used for the main display. Common connection ports include:

  • DVI — A large piece of plastic with many small square holes inside.
  • VGA — A colored trapezoidal piece of plastic with many round holes in it.
  • HDMI — Slim and flat hexagonal port. This is the port found on most newer computers and televisions.
  • DisplayPort — Similar to HDMI, but with an extra thin edge instead of symmetry.
  • Thunderbpt — Available on the back of most iMac screens; Thunderbpt connector has lightning icon below. You can attach an adapter for the above video connections to the Thunderbpt port (such as VGA to Thunderbpt). [4] X Research Sources

Check the connection of the second monitor. The second monitor must have at least one of the above ports. You don’t have to use the same connection for the first and second monitor.

  • For example, you can connect a first display using a DisplayPort cable and connect a second display using HDMI.
  • In some cases, you can set up a second monitor using a wireless connection. For example, if you want to use your iPad as a second display, you can create a wireless connection between the device and some computers through the Air Display app.

Buy a cable or adapter that you don’t already have. If you don’t have the right cable or adapter to connect the second monitor to your computer, you can find them online or at a computer parts store.

  • Especially when you want to connect a second monitor to your iMac, you need a Thunderbpt cable or a Thunderbpt port adapter to connect to the port on the back of the monitor.

  • Advice

    • Repeat the connection process for more monitors if your computer supports it. In this case, you can use three or more monitors.

    Warning

    • If the second monitor has a higher resolution than the primary monitor (or vice versa), you will have to reset the settings of the higher resolution monitor to be equal to the one with the lower resolution. A graphical error will appear if you skip this step.
