If you are planning to use multiple monitors in your PC, you will first need to identify each monitor. Click the Identify button to identify each monitor, and then you will see its number on the center of the screen. Drag the monitors to rearrange them as needed. You will need to choose the correct monitor from the Display menu and then set its resolution in the Resolution Menu. You can find out more info about enabling multiple displays by selecting the Multiple displays function.
DisplayPort
If you want to use more than one monitor at once, you can easily setup your PC with multiple display ports. The display ports used in this configuration are called mini-DisplayPort (mDP) and mini-HDMI. Once your PC has two mini-HDMI ports, you can connect a second monitor to the first. The second monitor can either be HDMI or DisplayPort or a combination of both.
HDMI
HDMI for multiple monitors in a PC is an easy way to extend or duplicate your current display. To set up a dual monitor setup, simply plug one monitor into an HDMI port and another into a VGA port. Then, you can use the other monitor’s display port to connect to the main display. When setting up a dual monitor setup, make sure your graphics card and Windows are up to date.
DisplayPort to HDMI adapter cable
If you’re looking to setup multiple monitors in your PC, you’ll need to use a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter cable. You can purchase a six-foot cable at most retail outlets. These cables are unidirectional, so they flow from the GPU to the HDMI input. When you buy these cables, be sure to check the manufacturer’s specifications to ensure compatibility.
Dell’s 22-inch screen
To get started, you need to install the drivers for Dell’s 22-inch screen and connect it to your PC. The Dell monitors have many convenient features, such as an input select button. Click on the input select button to switch between the monitor’s two video inputs. You can also assign a short-cut key to switch between the two inputs. When you’ve finished, turn on the monitor and check that it detects it. If it doesn’t, then you may need to download a firmware update.

Extending your screen to the other monitors
You may be interested in extending your screen to other monitors in your PC. You can set up a second monitor to work alongside the first. To extend the display, you’ll need a second monitor that has the same connection type as your PC. The second monitor may have a DisplayPort or HDMI connection, or a combination of both. Once you’ve made the decision to extend your screen, you’ll need to tell Windows how to manage the two monitors. The process is slightly different for Windows 7 and Windows 8 users.
