This was very helpful and explained in easy to understand language. I have been trying for ages to find a way of mirroring what is on my laptop with what is displayed on the monitor (simple stuff, I know). Thank you.

I had the extra monitor working fine with the laptop closed (lack of space), but now, after a power cut, when I close the laptop the monitor goes to sleep !
Any ideas please ?
Thanks
That is healthy behavior. If you don’t use the laptop, there is no reason for the monitor to consume power, and remain on.

I am trying to get my laptop connected to a monitor. The monitor has only VGA (+DVI), and my computer has only HDMI. I have bought an adapter and connected laptop and monitor with the VGA cable and the adapter. It worked for a short while but then came the notice: no source signal. What could be wrong?
You forgot using a tablet as a second display with SpaceDesk.
Thanks for sharing this tip.
