monitor Display Identities.

Hi, I have a AMD R9 280 video card. I am running Windows 10. I have a new LG 27" lcd desktop monitor, and a 40" Panasonic plasma wall mounted, for watching movies. Outputs from my vid card are hdmi out to lg, displayport out to hdmi in on my surround sound receiver that is connected to the plasma. My problem is when I start my computer the Bios post screen shows properly on my lg monitor, than when windows loads everything goes to my plasma, unless it is turned on. I am trying to figure out how to run my desktop monitor without having to turn the plasma on, and leave it running? I have tried switching cables to no avail, and also tried windows display settings, and amd radeon settings. Let me know if their is a solution, or if I have to buy a new card? I have installed the latest graphics driver 15.301.1801.1001.160203a.299101e Thank You Paul Smith

From my thoughts i think only Display port supports multiple monitors outputs on a video card.

I don't think you understand the issue, this worked fine with a older 23" monitor, and doesn't work with the new 27" monitor my wife just bought me.

In display settings click on the square 1 or 2 that represents your computer monitor. You can click the identify link to tell if the monitor is 1 or 2. With the correct square selected for the computer monitor and see if "Make this my primary display" is checked. It needs to be checked, then apply.

I like your solution, but it might be tricky for my 7 year old, who shares my computer. So I found dvi out from my card to svga in on my PC monitor works. Thanks
