On my Laptop, if I want to use TWO monitors that are extensions of each other, I hold down the Fn Key and click F8.

How does one do the same on a DESKTOP PC running Windows 10 Pro.  (I have done it countless times in Win 7) I thought I tried everything, obviously I did not!

Can anyone help?!

Thanks,

Have a client who has dual 24" monitors setup vertically and has just purchased a Surface Pro 13" and is using RWW to access her office workstation.  The problem is the display on the Surface Pro is so small that it is impossible to read.  Does anyone know how to change the display on the the Pro to make it more readable?

Monitor goes black periodically, then comes on by itself.

I purchased a Samsung 390 Series 24" LED Curved FHD FreeSync Monitor.

Without any pattern that I can tell, the monitor goes black. The computer thinks it's on because windows on the monitor don't jump back to my other monitor. The monitor power is definitely on because I can toggle between HDMI and Analog, but that's the only thing that happens when you push the power/menu button in the back (when it's black). When the monitor is on, the button gives you all the menu options, to include power.

I noticed that on Display settings the monitor isn't registering ... so something's going on. Both monitors are HDMI connections to the PC, and I switched the ports, but the reaction is the same.

Just thought I would check if anyone has any possible solutions, before I lug it back to Best Buy to get a new one.

(btw, I love the curved monitor, but apparently they did not catch on (nor curved TV's), you see 99% flat in the stores.)

Samsung not registering

HP Monitor shows up ok in Settings

Hi,

We are currently creating a conference room to be used for meetings.

We have many cables coming to our board room table which can be used for people's laptops during meetings.

The table we have ordered has no slot for a connectivity box so we will be making a hole in the table to fit a connectivity box.

The ports needed for the connectivity box are:
- Cat 6a/ 7
- Display port (version 1.4)
- Power socket (Irish/ UK or universal socket)
- Audio in (for 3.5mm cable)
- HDMI port (version 2)
- USB (Type A) (version 3.0)
- Telephone port (RJ11)

This is what we were recommended:

EVOline FlipTop Push Large brushed stainless steel, brush strip

Socket Modules:1 x 75mm

Multimedia Modules:
1x USB Type A 200mm Cable (50mm) (version 3.0)
1x HDM-I No Cable (25mm) (version 2.0)
1x Display Port 400mm Cable (25mm) (version 1.4)

Data Modules:
2 x CAT 6A No lead
1x Main Lead 3 meters.

Price: €350.42 less 10% net before vat €315.38, Transport charge included.

This is fine except that the price is a bit high and we were told delivery would take 6 weeks.

Is there an Irish or UK companies that sell the EVOline FlipTop Push Large brushed stainless steel, brush strip or something like it for around €100 with a much faster delivery time?

Thanks,
Robbie

Looking for a bit of advice guys.. I have a asus ZX270 MB, i7 processor all is running great.  I am using 2 monitors 1-hdmi and 1-display port, I have no graphics card installed. I want to be able to run, say a video on the tv and  work on the pc on the monitor.  since I only have one graphics source I don't think I can do it.  But the question is this-  I have a usb c port could I use this to stream to the tv while running the monitor from the display port.  My own feeling is no, since there is still only one source but I am no expert so I thought I would ask you guys if this is possible.

On some Dell laptops, the keys on the keypads can be made to light up
(when typing in the dark): I'm now using Thinkpad x270 : can it do this?

x270 comes with a camera : does this camera has an LED/flash to light
up when in a dark room?

We’re restocking our cat 6 preterminated data cables.

We’ve ordered from monoprice for years and like them.  Anyone have a better vendor we should try?

Wonder what else we should add in the way of adapters and cables. Usb 3.0? A? B? C? Male? Female? In what combinations <g>

HDMI to Mini DisplayPort? VGA to hdmi? Mini hdmi to vga?  

Haven’t dealt with DPI connectors in a long time.  But there’s loads of vga monitors and newer computers don’t have vga ports

I’d like to be able to be at a client and get the adapter or cable I need from the truck and not have to order it and make a return trip.

Does anyone have a list they could share?

Hi,

I have  an Apple Monitor Thunderbolt Display 27" which is discontinued now. I need to plug this monitor to my Lenovo P720 which has miniDP port. Is there any adapter for that?

Thanks

I spilled hot tea on the right side of my monitor. I wiped it immediately, but some may/must have gotten into the crevice where the screen meets the black plastic frame(monitor for a desktop).

It seemed OK after, but this morning the bottom right has a black spot in the corner and I can't see the taskbar because it is flickering very fast.

I can't move the taskbar because what's in the flickering portion seems to be images of icons on my desktop.

I am trying a system restore to an earlier date, but it's not done yet.  Please advise as to what to do. I don't really know if it's because of the spill or some other issue. Thanks in advance.

We use LogMeIn Rescue and configure hosts on our servers and other devices. Is there an option to disable or turn off the hosted device monitor?

The concern is someone closes the host while we're logged in as admin. We understand it's unlikely with the location of the servers and who's onsite (the majority of the time it's our clients trusted staff). There are times cleaning and phone techs, etc are standing next to the server. We looking at this as a precaution. What would be great is something similar to RDP how the remote connection is locked from public viewing. Note, not looking for another solution because we have a contract with LogMeIn.

LogMeIn hasn't really been any help discussing with them and their forums are nothing like this...not that helpful.

We turn off the monitors but they get turned back on and this doesn't help with security. We prefer to have the ability to block the monitor on the host from being seen by end users.

If there isn't a solution to this we'll just disconnect the monitors and view other options when our LMI contract ends.

Thank you.
