Dual monitor issue
Hi guys,
I am trying to connect two monitors to a single laptop, so that I can extend the display across both monitors. The devices are:
Dell SE2417HGXF Full HD Gaming Monitor, 24" (x2)
ACER - Aspire 5 A514-52 14" Laptop - Intel® Core™ i5, 256 GB SSD
Splitter - Rankie HDMI Cable, High-Speed HDTV Cable, Supports Ethernetm, 3D, 4K and Audio Return, 1.8 m
When I connect everything up I can see the screen displayed on both monitors, however nothing happens when I try and extend using the projector settings. When I go to display settings I cannot find the second monitor, when I "Detect" i get the message you can see in the attached.Display settings.docx
I can extend across one monitor and my laptop screen, however it doesn't find my second monitor when I have the laptop lid up or down. I have updated all drivers, however again I seem to be having issues with one of the monitors as the Dell driver does not appear. See attached Drivers.docx
Can anyone help with this please? I'm using WIndows 10 Pro. I have tried another laptop and encountered the same issue.
Thanks
Mike
