Sometimes when the system does recognise the Dell monitor, it will have swapped its position with respect to my laptop screen (i.e. Sometimes the Dell monitor will be black for a few minutes and then it will just turn on, and everything will look fine. Sometimes it will appear and then disappear and then reappear, every 10 seconds or so. When I go to display settings, sometimes the Dell monitor appears as a display and sometimes it does not.
Sometimes the laptop screen comes on and the monitor remains black. When I use it again the next day at work: I will try to describe some of the weird things and see if anyone has any idea of a fix.įirstly, when I take my laptop home and use it alone, I always have to adjust the screen resolution so it looks okay. I have a Dell hub that has the monitor, ethernet, mouse and keyboard as inputs, and then this connects to my laptop via USB.įor the most part it works fine, but there is some strange behaviour regarding the monitor. At work, I have a Dell monitor as a dual screen in addition to my HP Spectre laptop screen.
