Can i use all my monitors as a desktop on one computer?

[oronor24]

Ok i connected two monitors on my pc , i have one next to my bed when i sleep and one on my office , i want to be able to use both of them as a desktop at the same time instead of extending the display or using only one of them as desktop , this will most likely mean that whatever happens on one monitor will also happen to the other , something like merging the display , is that possible?

I assume you are running windows. You just go in to your display settings (where you set your monitor resolution) and under the multiple display setting you can change it from "Extend these displays" to "Duplicate these displays".

Which windows are you using ?
If it's Windows 8 or higher you could hold Windows button and press P, till you go on duplicate.
But if both monitors are on different resolutions, it will auto switch to lowest resolution.

It is possible that your AMD driver is taking care of display properties.

Only one monitor is connected to the graphic card , the other is connected to the motherboard therefore catalyst center detects only one monitor. do i have to connect both to the graphic card?

Yes, connect both to Video card.
It is even possible, that this prevents you from duplicate currently.
I guess then even with Windows you would be able to duplicate em without a problem.
Connect em both on video and check.
