I received my two new Dell UltraSharp 24" ( U2414H ) monitors today to be attached to my Microsoft Surface Pro 2 ( 512Gb / 8MB ) and docking station. I ordered these monitors because they are designed to use in a display port daisy chain arrangement. So I set them up as following, plugged micro-display port into the Surface Pro 2 dock then plugged the other end of the cable with the full sized display port into the display port ( IN ) port on monitor one ( 1 ) and then plugged another display port cable into monitor one ( 1 ) display port ( OUT ) then into monitor two ( 2 ) display port ( IN ). Both monitors display beautifully, but not as I was expecting.
I feel like I am missing something here but don't know where to start. I was expecting the display settings in control panel to show three ( 3 ) displays, the Surface Pro 2 display and the 2 Dell external displays. But what I am seeing is the Surface Pro 2 display and the 2 Dell U2414H monitors as a single display. What I wanted to do duplicate the start screen on the first Dell U241H monitor and then extend the desktop to the second Dell U2414H monitor. But I can not see how to make this all work. Has anyone daisy chained 2 external monitors like this and if so how did you get them setup correctly? Is there something that I need to set on the second monitor in the daisy chain to make Windows see it as a third display panel?
So can someone help me please...
