If you want each of the screens to have a different display you need 2 graphics cards, or a duel head graphics card, once they are installed go into display property, enable the second monitor and tick the box that seys "extend my desktop onto this display" A cable splitter will only allow you to have the same picture on each of the displays, go have them different you must have multiple graphics cards, there is no way that it can be done.

Hook up the two one or 2 USB mice and Keyboards. (in case your contemporary gadget has playstation /2 set up, in simple terms upload the USB version.) Now it particularly is the draw lower back. in spite of two mice, and keyboards, you in basic terms have one mouse courser, and the two keyboards will in basic terms paintings interior the present application. With 2 video reveal instruments, set it up so as which you have an added enormous laptop workstation. once you load dissimilar apps, you are able to drag the app to the different homestead windows. builders making use of a seen programing language, would have their gadget menu on one reveal screen, and what they're engaged on yet another. it particularly is a great area of do. sturdy success.

If you have a laptop, you can attach a monitor to it and have two screens including your laptop monitor. In the display settings you can select extend my monitor.
That's how I have my system setup and it works great.
