Yes I can. And my old one has VGA but Im using a VGA-DVI adapter to connect it. problem is I have my ASUS VX239H on the right side and the Samsung one on my left. Now my cursor wont go to my Samsung monitor by just swiping it to the left. I need to go to the right instead lololol. Know anything how to fix this?

Right click on your desktop (like on your wallpaper), press the screen resolution (that was the third option from below) and there you will see both your monitor. Grab the right monitor and drag it to the left, this should fix that .

Hey guys!

 

 

I just recently bought an ASUS VX239H monitor.

 

 

Now I wanna use my old 720p Samsung one as a secondary monitor but just for web browsing/streaming with twitch while im gaming on my ASUS VX239H. How do I set it up?

Plug both into your GPU and both should be detected.

I guess you can connect your new monitor via HDMI and what port(s) does your old monitor have?
