just bough a yoga 2 and cannot hook up a second monitor. I am using a mini hdmi to hdmi and have tried the Acer monitor, a HP monitor, and a Samsung tv. They all show up under my devices and I know the cable works because I have used it on other devices. I also trimmed the mini hdmi side to it bottoms out when plugging into my yoga. I looked on acer website and they claim that there is no need for a driver and they are compatible with windows 8.1. Any suggestions?

Go to the "Screen Resolution" and see if it shows up there.
Right-click desktop -> Screen Resolution

Change the display modes, Extend/Duplicate, to see what's going on.

As soon as you plug in a 2nd monitor to the laptop, the laptop screen may flash for a second, as it readjusts for the new real estate. If you don't see that flash happening, you may have a problem with your laptop.
