CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) — Question 61

A user wants a second monitor installed on a laptop. The VGA/DVI or HDMI cables have already been connected. Which of the following should the technician do to configure the laptop to show both screens?

Answer options

• A. Power cycle the laptop.
• B. Plug in the monitor to the USB port.
• C. Adjust the monitor display settings.
• D. Power cycle the monitor.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because adjusting the monitor display settings allows the laptop to recognize and configure the second monitor for use. The other options, such as power cycling the laptop or monitor, will not configure the display settings, and plugging the monitor into a USB port is not a valid method for connecting most monitors.
