The cables are all specific to one port. Depending on the cables we have on inventory you might have converter, which has the end of one type of cable on one side and another on the other. 

Configuring the displays settings on Windows

1. Right click on your desktop to open the menu below, click on "Display Settings". Your menu will look a bit different, but should still have the Display Settings option.

 

 

2. This setting shows a diorama of your displays as they are detected by your computer. The Identify button will display the numbers shown on the boxes on their respective screens. Make sure the diorama matches how your monitors are physically configured. You can do this by clicking and dragging the boxes to match your physcial monitors.

 

 

3. This settings correspond to how content is display on the screens. The Scale, Resolution and Orientation options should be automatically set up on your computer. If both of your monitors are showing the same image, make sure that Multiple Displays is set to Extend These Displays, rather than Duplicate.
