Note: Different monitor resolutions are not supported with the multi-display configurations unless stated otherwise in the table below.

Multi-Screen Support

The list of supported multi-display configurations is rather large, and it changes whenever a new graphics device is introduced. Thus, if you are considering a Single Logical Screen or any other multi- display configuration, we recommend consulting your HP Sales Representative and inquiring whether the configuration you have in mind is indeed supported.

There are general guidelines, however. For example:

Multi-display configurations may be limited by available power. Depending on the capacity of your computer's power supply, and the power demands of the combination of graphics cards you are considering, there may or may not be enough power to operate them all.

Single Logical Screen configurations must use identical graphics devices (see the next section).

Single Logical Screen (SLS)

SLS is a mechanism for treating homogeneous multi-display configurations as a single "logical" screen. This allows the moving/spanning of windows across multiple physical monitors. The word "homogeneous" is included because SLS only works if the graphics devices included in the SLS Configuration are of the same type.
