As far as the tags i submitted, I think its ridiculous when the words display, or monitor, or options or anything relating to my question when no results come back so I just chose anything. uhg. Im trying to add 2 Dell p2419h monitors to my dell inspiron 3480 aio pc, but it only reads 1 monitor. Im using a MS Idd usb to hdmi adapter with a connected 2 port hdmi splitter that has the 2 p2419h monitors connected to it. The monitors are displaying but only in landscape mode and they are duplicated while the Inspiron display options only read 1 out of the 2 extra monitors. Ultimately I want to extend all 3 displays. My Inspiron only has 1 HDMI port and when I connect my 2 port HDMI splitter, only one monitor even displays. The other monitor cannot register whatsoever. I hope this is enough information and that someone might prove to me that Im a idiot. LOL!

    Hello there,

    Extending your Dell Inspiron 3480 AIO PC with two additional Dell P2419H monitors should be possible if your PC supports multiple displays. However, there are a few steps you need to follow to ensure everything works correctly:

    Check Graphics Card Compatibility: Make sure your Dell Inspiron 3480 AIO PC has a graphics card that supports multiple displays. Most modern PCs have this capability, but it's always good to double-check.

    Connect Monitors: Connect the two Dell P2419H monitors to your Dell Inspiron 3480 AIO PC using appropriate cables. These monitors typically come with HDMI, DisplayPort, and VGA connectors, so choose the appropriate cable for your setup. Your AIO PC may have HDMI and/or DisplayPort outputs for connecting external monitors.

    Access Display Settings: On your Dell Inspiron AIO PC, right-click on the desktop and select "Display settings." Alternatively, you can access display settings through the Control Panel.

    Detect Additional Monitors: In the display settings, click on the "Detect" button. This will prompt your PC to search for connected monitors.

    Configure Display Settings: Once the additional monitors are detected, you can configure how you want them to work. You can choose to extend your desktop across all three screens, duplicate the display (show the same content on all screens), or use one of the external monitors as the primary display. Drag and drop the monitor icons in the display settings to arrange them according to your physical setup (if needed).

    Adjust Screen Resolution: It's important to set the appropriate screen resolution for each monitor. If the monitors have different resolutions, you'll need to adjust them individually in the display settings.

    Update Graphics Drivers: Make sure you have the latest graphics drivers installed for your PC's graphics card. You can download the drivers from Dell's support website or the graphics card manufacturer's website.

    Restart if Necessary: After making changes in the display settings or installing graphics drivers, you might need to restart your PC for the changes to take effect
