- Step by step guide on how to connect your monitor to a laptop. I talk about adapters, cables, and what setting to use for the best experience.
I recommend getting a 4k 60Hz USB C adapter. The one I'm using in the video is a cheap one and can only do 4k 30Hz.

This was super helpful with additional tips that felt like you were reading my mind (e.g., lost sound when adding the 2nd monitor) along with bonus tips I didn't expect but were so useful, such as changing the options when closing the lid on my laptop. Great pace and step by step. Thanks!!
Thank you so much for making this video. I originally didn't think I had the right equipment to begin with. But I found your video and solved my problems within seconds. Again I have to thank you so much for helping me with this as now I can set up my streams for twitch way better now. Hope the rest of your day is wonderful dude!
I spent 45 minutes on the AOC website trying to figure out how to change the new monitor settings and get my sound back, before searching to find your video. You did more for me in 6 minutes than the mfr did ever! Thanks a ton. You have a new subscriber!
This was incredibly helpful, was able to setup my monitor to my laptop at the same length of time as the video. Thank you
Simple and easy instructions. Thank you.
Thank you!!! I was already going crazy trying to set my monitor up, and i saw another video that had me update my videocard driver and still didnt fix my problem... but your solution worked and now I have different applications running on my laptop and monitor! You are simply the best!!!
This was awesome. I felt so old trying to find these settings. :D
What a great video, helps A LOT in the beginning.
Finally a good video on this topic. Thanks 👍
For connecting second monitors I hear it's much better to use a docking station which gets you more connections and is safer, reliable. Well that's what I'm gonna be getting!

I wanted to use my PC with a monitor but also use my laptop`s screen as a 2nd monitor. This video shows how to use a monitor as a 2nd screen for a laptop.
OMG THANK YOU
Thanks❤❤❤❤
Super helpful, thank you! Just one question, does having a second monitor affect the overall performance of the laptop-PC set up?
Yeah of course, the laptop's battery will drain faster and having another screen puts a load on the CPU maybe slowing it down
makes sense..does upgrading the RAM improve the performance?
@@jmb1819 it can stop different softwares from lagging but according to me the display performance depends more on the quality of processor and I don't think you can change ram in most laptops
Man can you tell me if you already have these cables in the box with the monitor when you buy it or you have to buy the cables separated?
Omgg thnksss so muchhhhh
thanks
Can you use the keyboard on the laptop but only display on the extended monitor and nothing on the laptops display?
Thank you for the informartion.
I have a gaming laptop and a second monitor connected to it.
I want to game and multitask on the other screen but once I launch the game I am stuck with the mouse and keyboard for the game and can't use the second screen.
Is there a solution for this. Please reply.
Thank you and keep up the excellent work. Look forward to seeing more of your content.
so ive got a second monitor which is larger in size but the same resolution, but i want to set it up to scale and its not letting me. How do i go about setting it up so that when panning to screen to screen, my mouse moves straight across laterally rather than jumping to the bottom of the other screen
Do I have to connect two monitors in two different out from pc?
I used one out fromnpc and used split adaptor...now I only get mirror image on the two monitor?.
If I want extend the monitor do I need to connect separately?.
Please advice.
Thankyou.
Hey can i connect an xbox to the big monitor like when i open the xbox app on the big monitor and use mouse and keyboard so when i drag it, it changed slot
