Can I get my 2 external displays to show DIFFERENT things? Thanks!

Hi,

I just bought my second external monitor, but somehow it seems I can only show the exact same image on both screens.

What can I do in order to be able to show DIFFERENT things on each screen?

Thanks!

Hi Mic1820,


Welcome to the Apple community where some of us do our best to help each other.

Sorry I don't have experience with this myself, however ...


Apple has a support page, (and links from that to more info.) that may help you find answers:

Use multiple displays with your Mac:

Hope this helps
