adam6604 Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 should be just the HDMI then he has to go into his display settings, normally you can find that by right clicking on the desktop and under personalization. Then find monitor settings and it should give you some options for dual monitors. I'm assuming you want to have both monitors on at the same time? if you just want the TV on as the only monitor, it should be a plug and play....

Maxim Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 Windows key and P will bring up 4 options to connect to an external screen/projector. Windows can usually do the rest once you tell it which option you want. If it can't figure it out on it's own, you can try adding it manually through Display Settings as adam posted. wtf is lolcats? I'd def get a fat hooker if i had to resort to that kinda thing. I feel like they'd be grateful and work harder. Also its more bang for my buck, more real estate for my dollar if you catch my drift. its like the Costco of streetwalkers. I was hoping for 150 . I was hoping she would let me put it in her butt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stone Ellek Shearin Posted January 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 ok so thanks to your help we managed to bring the image to the tv but now instead of just mirroring the same image on two different displays we want to have 2 different displays that work isolated from eachother....no mirroring...but i think its called extending in the settings....but our problem with that is not having a taskbar on the 2nd monitor(toshiba tv) ....do you guy know of a way to bring a second individual taskbar to the television monitor??

adam6604 Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 you have to set which screen you want as the preferred display while your in the display settings.
