Hi All,
As part of a new job, I've been purchased a Dell Insprion with a second monitor.
I'd ideally like to extend the desktop across both, however have come across a couple of issues:
The monitor has only DisplayPort and VGA inputs, the laptop has only a HDMI output.
To try and get around this I purchased a USB C hub with (amongst other things) a VGA output. However it appears this can only mirror the same resolution of the laptop screen (which the monitor is not) which means it simply does not work when trying to extend the display.
Has anyone successfully managed something similar before? If so how please?
Thanks!
