2 screens - Safen - Dec 19, 2016

Had 2 screens at home so why not add them together but when I do the programs I use only shows in one screen and the other is empty but has same background Picture.
How can I open different programs on the screens like ytube on one and facebook on the other?

This tutorial sort of explains it.

It's a setting on the computer that tells the monitors how to behave. If you have a different OS than Win 10 just look up "How to set up dual monitors on (INSERT OS)"

Have a look at the program UltraMon it's got a lot of advanced dual display settings really useful.

I just plugged mine in and it worked right away. Download a taskbar program and you're good to go, I use https://sourceforge.net/projects/dualmonitortb/

Drag one window to the other screen...

Why do I feel this is a bad troll?

Will it work on a fullhd online game like csgo to play with both screens? One of mine is not opening and the other is all fine.

Just google if CS:GO supports dual monitors or not. I believe it does, just have to configure it correctly. <- Google should also help you out on that.

You should be able to seamlessly drag windows from one screen to another. Go into your display settings and configure which side the secondary monitor is on.

If you try to use a game like CS:GO on 2 monitors, the crosshair is going to be between the screens. You're going to want to get a third before anything.
