In a tutorial by Jackson from PC Bros, the video covers the process of setting up multiple monitors for both office and gaming environments. Key points include the importance of using appropriate display adapters (such as VGA, DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort, or USB type C) and ensuring the device features multiple video outputs. For laptops with a single HDMI output, an active splitter is suggested to achieve separate displays. Jackson discusses the types of connectors and the use of graphics cards for additional outputs, highlighting the need for correct connections and monitor power.
When a graphics card is installed, it typically overrides the integrated graphic ports, necessitating the use of new display connections from the card itself. He illustrates troubleshooting steps in the display settings to manage and reorient the monitor layout, adjust resolution, and scale settings to ensure optimal display performance. Finally, Jackson shows how to set a specific display as the main monitor, discusses adding additional monitors based on available ports, and emphasizes the productivity benefits of using multiple monitors. The video concludes with a recommendation to consider multiple monitors for improved efficiency and invites viewer questions.

In this part of the video, Jackson from PC Bros provides a tutorial on setting up multiple monitors for an office or gaming setup. He explains that setting up multiple monitors is quite simple and can be done with laptops, desktops, and even some tablets. Key points include the necessity of having more than one monitor, appropriate display adapters (VGA, DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort, or USB type C), and ensuring the device has more than one video output. For laptops with a single HDMI output, an active splitter is recommended to achieve separate outputs rather than just duplicating the display.
Jackson demonstrates the different types of connectors, highlighting older style monitors with VGA or DVI and newer monitors with HDMI or DisplayPort. He shows the back of two monitors to explain their power inputs and connection options. He also briefly discusses the use of graphics cards for additional video outputs, emphasizing the importance of using the correct type of connector based on the available outputs from the computer.
