I bought a secondary diplay for my setup (Fujitsu 23" B23T-6)  tried to connect it and it didn't receiced signal...
I'm using an MSI optix g24c4 as my main monitor, and I have a GTX 1060.
Before I been able to use both my monitor and TV as displays for my pc, but right now I can only connect 1 at the time.
I'm trying to connect one via Displayport and the other with an hdmi cable with an DP adapter (that I know works).
Can somebody help me?

  • Does it show 1|2 under Windows Display settings (Win+R, desk.cpl) or just 1?
  • If you open device manager (Win+R, devmgmt.msc), and unplug it does device manager refresh?

Neither PC or the monitor acknowledge they´re plugged in.
When I unplug it, the manager doesn't refresh.

Make sure the monitor is on the right input as some display controllers won't send anything through the cable if it's not.

I plugged the secondary only (with DP cablçe) and it worked but then I tried plug my main one with HDMI cable and my pc didn't even detect it

Odd, it sounds like port sharing but I've never heard of a GPU sharing a DP and HDMI port. What specific GTX 1060 do you have?

But if it's not working because it's shgared why does it work when i have DP connected to the monitor and the HDMi to the TV?

Not sure. Not physically there and having an issue imagining the setup.
