How to setup and configure dual monitors?

Connect your cables, then use system shortcuts to choose between "Extend" or "Duplicate" modes and arrange the display order.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Fast Mode Switching (Windows)

  • Press the Win + P shortcut.

  • Select [Extend] to use both screens for different content (Recommended).

  • Select [Duplicate] to show the same image on both.

2. Arranging Display Layout

  • Windows: Go to [Settings] > [System] > [Display]. Drag and drop the rectangles to match your physical monitor setup. To change the primary screen, check "Make this my main display".

  • macOS: Go to [System Settings] > [Displays] > [Arrangement].

3. Hardware Troubleshooting

  • Ensure all video cables (HDMI / DP / USB-C) are securely plugged in.

  • For laptop users, verify that the USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alt Mode.

  • For Daisy Chain setups (supported on select VP models), ensure MST is toggled to [On] in the OSD menu.
