Idea Center B520 - how to add second monitor?

I want to add a second monitor to my B520, but the only monitors I have connect with a DVI cable.  I don't see a DVI plug anywhere on the B520.  Is there a way?  If not, if I buy a monitor with HDMI connections, can I connect it to my B520 using HDMI?  My B520 is 3D and touch screen.  Thanks in advance.  New to the all-in-one world.

I have my B520 connected to my 42" Monitor via a HDMI cable
Go to Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Display > Screen Resolution, and then choose 'Detect'.  (It is my understanding, you need to make the B520 your 'main display', or you can not use Touch on the B520)
You will also need to set your Monitor Source to 'HDMI'  (My old PC is still connected to my Monitor via Source 'DVI'.  It allows me to use my old PC, and new B520, on the same Monitor; by just changing the Source)
As for connecting the B520 to an external Monitor that does not have HDMI Input ... there are cables, and adaptors, that you buy to convert HDMI to DVI (or whatever).  Once you have the converter, then choose the applicable Source on you Monitor.

  • How do I Add second monitor to ALL in One ENVY23 that has a HDMI port

    How do I Add second monitor to my ALL in One ENVY23 that has a HDMI port the computer has Win 8  Model #: 23se-d494

    Here are the specs for your HP ENVY TouchSmart 23se-d494 All-in-One Desktop Computer. Based the specs, the HDMI port on the side of your computer is an INPUT only. This model doesn't have a video output of any kind.
    1 - Controls           2 - HDMI In port (model dependent)
    You will need to purchase and use a USB-to-video adapter such as the EVGA UV Plus+ UV39 (or any of the many other adapters on the market) to connect an external display to your computer. I personally use and recommend the EVGA UV Plus+ UV39.

  • Upgrade graphics card, or add second monitor?

    I have an Aperture rebate that needs to be used by the end of this month, but what to spend it on?
    I have a dual core 2.3 G5 PM with the stock 6600 graphics card. What would be the better choice, upgrade that graphics card (I have some questions on that, below) or add a second 20" ACD?
    Questions on cards:
    1. The Apple Store is offering two PCI-e cards that appear on the Aperture recommended list: the 7300GT and the X1900XT, but the store says that they're for the Mac Pro. Will they work in a PCI-e PM anyway, or are they really only for Intel boxes?
    2. The 7300GT is cheaper than the 6600. Que?
    Colour me unadventurous, but I don't really want to get into flashing cards, or buying unsupported cards (not that I could f=do that from Apple anyway.)
    With respect to the second monitor route, anyone had any experience with two 20" ACDs and the 6600? Other than it may be a bit pants with Aperture, what is your experience?
    I'm not an Aperture hard core user, in fact I've found it difficult to whip up much enthusiasm for using it at all until recently, so I don't need a killer card like the 4500.

    As far as I know there is NO graphics card
    upgrade for G5 towers in the Apple Store.
    Thanks, that looks like a card upgrade from the store is a no-go then.
    Radeon X800XT,
    According to the store, that's AGP.
    Looks like my options on the rebate are:
    1. second monitor
    2. Shure earphones to replace the cruddy ipod ones
    3. do nothing and donate the money to Steve's retirement fund.
    Not sure how well a second ACD would work with Aperture and my 6600, or whether I want to give Apple another CHF880. And I don't think Steve needs the money.

  • How to add a monitor to an iMac 20 inch

    How to add an extra monitor with VGA connector to an iMac 20 inch ( model 7,1)
    Wich adaptaer cable do I need?
    What are the set ups  I have to go through?

    The Mid 2007 iMac 7,1 has a Mini DVI output port.
    To connect a VGA only monitor, then you will need a Mini-DVI to VGA adapter and a VGA cable.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/M9320G/A
    However check the monitor closely, because if it also has a DVI connection then would be better to use the Mini-DVI to DVI adapter and a DVI cable.

  • How to use second monitor as extended monitor

    Want to use a second monitor at MacbookAir 11. I get the mirror to work and I know resolution is unfortunately not the same, but I wanted to use the two as one extended monitor. I cannot move or extend any window to cover both. Any advises how to get to that?

    You should be able to drag the application off the right side of your monitor and it appear on the TV.  You can size and position as desired.
    Check System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement tab  for the placement of the external monitor.  It normally defaults to the right side but could be above/below or left of your primary.

  • Best way to add second monitor with HDMI input

    I have a 24-inch Mid 2007 iMac.  Processor  2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo  Memory  4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM  Graphics  ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB.  I need to add a second monitor, and while I'm at it, this new monitor will be an HDTV Monitor with an HDMI input.  My iMac has the original USB connections.  So I'm thinking an ethernet to HDMI adapter should do the trick.
    Is this right?  If so, what supplier makes a good ethernet to HDMI adapter?

    Hi
    I've always thought powered DVI (ADC) was introduced on the Gigabit Ethernet G4s, like your dual 500. It should be easy to check, as the graphics card has an extra power 'stub' which fits into an extra slot on the logic board, between the main AGP slot and the back of the computer. If all the gold connectors on the Radeon 9000 are seated, I think you must have powered DVI/ADC. If some are 'floating' above the logic board, you haven't.

  • How to sychronize second monitor to be an extension of my 20" iMac

    I have a second 19" Flat Wide Screen Monitor next to my 20" iMac. However, there are a couple of things that I don't know how to adjust.
    1- The Wallpaper on both monitors are different how can I have the same Wallpaper or the same rotation of images to be the same on both monitors
    2- I can't sychronoze both screen to display the same size for the browser or whatever I'm viewing. I have gone to Display and to Arrangement and moved the second monitor up or down but somehow the page on the second screen RT side it's about 3" longer. How can I make the Browser or page extend to the second screen appearing exactly or close to the same size as on the iMac

    What Al said is correct. With two different size monitors you will not be able to have things "line" up. Your primary display, in this case the iMac, is what your settings are based on.
    Lets say the bottom of both of your monitors are at the exact same height and the top of your iMac is 2 inches taller than your secondary display, if you were to slide a window that was aligned at the top of your monitor over to your secondary display, the top of that window would be cut off by that 2 inches. As far as your computer is concerned both monitors are at the same height.
    Another example is to draw an imaginary line from the top of your iMac display across to your secondary display, Your window that you slid over in the previous example would be inline with that "imaginary" line.
    Like Al said in his post, if you want things to line up you need two monitors that are the same size.
    I use my secondary monitor for (a 20" Samsung) to house all of my tool pallets when working in graphics programs. Or if I'm working on multiple things at once "multi tasking" I'll move some of the windows over to the other display for reference.
    I hope I didn't confuse you even more, it's a bit difficult to explain without visuals.

  • Add Second Monitor

    I just purchased a new HP ENVY 700-410xt in late November, with just one monitor (HP ENVY 24 w/audio spkrs).  What would you recommend for a second monitor (w/o speakers?)?

    Cool. In my setup, both monitors are about the same size and I use the second vertical...works well for working writing documents/word processing. But they are both the same rez for and dimensions.

  • How to add second A/P Down Payment or A/P Reserve Invocie

    Hi
    A/P with following terms:
    - 30% Down Payment after issuing PO
    - 70% Payment before shipping
    For the 30% DPM an A/P Down Payment Invoice is posted, and later paid - no issues so far.
    Now, before scheduled shipping the rest of 70% is due. The correct thing would be to post a A/P Reserve Invoice.
    However, the Total Down Payment selection dialog available in A/P Invoice is missing in the A/P Reserve Invoice.
    As a workaround, direct posting of an A/P Invoice is possible, but this already does post all the items to stock which is not correct.
    Creating another A/P Down Payment Invoice seems not to be the correct solution either.
    How does SAP suggest to handle this?
    Thanks and best regards,
    Franz

    Kerstin,
    I'd like to pick this up again and add some questions:
    First, what is the purpose of posting the Final Invoice at the end (7.) - except for closing the GRPO?
    Second, I have some issues with Freight cost.
    If I already know freight cost when I create the PO and add it there, it is not shown in the DPM Request nor in the DPM Invoice. Since I am really paying it in step 5, I need to add it somehow - I did as 'divers-item' what I feel is somehow nor really correct - to the DPM invoice, otherwise I can not post the correct outgoing payment.
    Is the final invoice the place to add the freight at its correct position? I'd like these freight cost to add to the item cost as well, as they do with any other usual PO.
    Any suggestion on how to handle the freight cost, that usually is not known before the 2nd (70%) payment?
    Thanks and best regards,
    Franz

  • CUCM 6.1 - Phone Directory - how to add second number?

    Does it possible to add another directory like corporate directory, or how can we add people's second number to corporate directory?
    thanks

    Yes you can add a second directory - if you look at your enterprise parameters, you'll see that there's an url for the directory. Enter that url into your webbrowser.. you'll see it's a regular CiscoIpPhoneMenu.. so you an create a page like that but with a second entry, and then the second directory will also be listed when you press the directory key.

  • SCCM 2012 R2 - How to add second Software Distribution?

    I already have a Primary site server setup so I added another site system server so I could add the Distrubution Point to a remote 2012 R2 server (hope that was correct?)
    Now I would like to also add the Software Distribution role to that secondary server. I'd like the types (security, optional, etc...), of software updates pulled from my primary site, but want the actually updates pulled from Microsoft. To have that setup
    do I install the WSUS role on my secondary site server and then add the Software Update role?

    Hi,
    WSUS when used in SCCM as a SUP is only used for the clients to download the information about which updates exist, the actual updates are downloaded from the assigned DP. There is no way to configure a client to download security updates from SCCM and the
    rest from Internet.
    Yes, you did correct, it is not a Secondary site though it is a Site System for your Primary site if that is the same site server you are refereing to later.
    The data actually downloaded by the clients from the SUP is not that much so it is normally no ide to install a new SUP.

  • How to add second access point using coax

    I have FIOS with the coax line split out of the main fios box. One split goes to room A that has the Actiontec router and a STB.   The other line goes into room B where there is just a STB. I have poor wireless signal in room B and I would like to add a second access point.  I've read up on the devices that try to amplify your signal and see that they tend to reduce speeds, so this does not seem like a viable option. Because of my building arrangement, I can't do any sort of new wiring. 
    I'd like to try to minimize how much configuration I have to do and even if it means paying a bit more to do so. From what I can tell, I could split the coax in Room B and plug in an ActionTEC ECB2200.  But, this would only give me a ethernet connection. If I plug in a second router via that ethernet connection, would that give me a second access point? Would I need to set up the second router in bridge mode? If this is the case, would it just make sense to plug the second router in without the ActionTEC ECB2200 in bridge mode from the coax input? 
    Thanks in advance.

    My only question is, when starting the process and performing the following:
    2.1) You will need to reconfigure the remote router, BEFORE you connect it to the coax.
    Perform a hard reset on the Actiontec to restore factory defaults.
    Connect a PC to a LAN port of the Actiontec.
    By default, DHCP server should be enabled on the Actiontec, so no need to set a static IP address on the PC.
    Login to the router at 192.168.1.1 
    How do I connect the primary and secondary actiontec? Do I disconnect the primary and plug the secondary into coax and do all this, and then when finished plug the primary back in? Or, do i Ieave the primary plugged in the whole time?
    First you set up the secondary router by connecting it to any computer using an Ethernet cable.  Assuming you have reset the device, go to 192.168.1.1 and make the necessary changes in router number two.
    Leave the primary router alone (unless you decide on a scheme with a fixed IP for the second router) and it will supply an IP to router two, which will serve as a simple wireless access point.  Detailed settings and a step-by-step cookbook procedure are provided in the references given above.  Good luck.

  • Anybody know how to get second monitor to display portrait mode on new quad

    Hi all,
    I have a G5 quad with a 6600 video card and 2 monitors. 1 is a sony 24" and the other a dell 20". I have them both succesfully running in expanded desktop mode, but I would like to set up my dell to display in portrait mode. I can set it up on the dell monitor, but when the nvidea software takes control, I am back in landscape.
    anybody know how to fix this?
    Thanks, Neil

    The Nvidea video cards don't support rotate. You need an ATI video card.
