      I have a big problem, I use two msi monitors and msi desktop which only has 1 HDMI hole, so I bought the adapter so I could use two monitors but it shows the same thing in both screens, like if I click something, it does the same on the other screen at the same time, and my desktop doesn't detect any other screens, I need help big time

    Whaddya mean "put the monitors the correct way"? I prefer monitor 1 on the left, not the right side, and then I run Premiere Pro across both screens after opening it in the number one monitor. Your "correct" way would mess me up, since it would make me have to jump from the far right of the number one monitor on the right all the way back over to the far left of the number two monitor on the far left. There is no "correct way" to arrange your monitors, just a "preferred way" which makes your system work the way you want it to.

    • @Britec09
      @Britec09  2 роки тому

    A few days ago, my monitors suddenly became unaligned even though I don't think I changed any settings. When I press PrtScn to take a screencap of both of my monitors, a sliver of the right monitor appears on the left of the screencap, as if it's wrapping around to the other side. I tried messing dragging the displays around like you showed in the video, but now not only is it doing that weird wrapping around thing, one monitor appears higher than the other in any screencaps I take. What can I do?

    I am confused about the importance of monitor refresh rates. Back in the day TV broadcast signals were set at 32 frames/sec. and apparently at 28 fps lately. I have only had 60 fps monitors and it does not matter if I am watching a super/blistering fast actions in a vid, there is zero blurring. If I remember, the 120 - 240 HZ monitors were to eliminate the blurring of fast action on a monitor. Thanks👍

I have to say I have never used a display port simply because I don't see why conveyance of audio and graphics should have two different ways of doing that?? Is there for example a special reason for having display ports?? As for your video on this it makes me wonder if there is something that you cannot fix!! as I have followed you for many years.🙂
