Hey guys, I connected 2 Dell monitors to my older Dell:


but in the Display settings I am not noticing any option to use both monitors independently or I am not understanding how to do this, any possible workaround or options for this please?

The 4 options you show in your screen shot are all there is. Choose "Extend these displays" and you'll get what you want. You get a single desktop that covers both displays and you can drag/drop windows between them freely, working on whichever monitor you wish without interfering with the other.

BTW guys, might there be any way for me to add a 3rd independent monitor please, maybe get some sort of adapter or apparatus of some sort for this? I had seen one guy who does trading have 4 monitors but didn't know he was able to do it?
