Simulate Multiple Monitors

This is what I did to make windows think I had two monitors.

I have solved my own problem by:

  1. Right click on the desktop, click 'Screen Resolution'

  2. Click 'Detect' on the next screen

  3. Click 'Another display not detected' and under the multiple displays option select 'Try to connect anyway on: VGA'

  4. Click 'Apply'

  5. You can now enable your desktop to be extended as if you have a second screen plugged into your computer.

To view the second screen. This can be done via LogMeIn or TeamViewer on iOS, Android, Windows, Mac and I believe Linux:

I used TeamViewer as I already use it, so already have it installed

  1. Opened TeamViewer on iPad

  2. Connect to the computer setup previously

  3. Using a 'Monitor' button at the bottom, select and show screen number 2.

  4. iPad now shows screen 2 from PC.


Sounds like DisplayFusion would provide the features you're looking for.

Monitor splitting allows you to divide your monitor into multiple "virtual" monitors with their own Taskbars, Wallpapers, and Screen Savers.
