Hello,

Im a new BRIX customer, just bought a GIGABYTE BRIX I7-4500U WLAN/HDMI/DP/LAN BAREBONE.
When I bought this computor I thought I could use my two DELL display-screens as extended displays.

Does anyone know if this is possible with this computor?
I have only managed to get the screens to mirror eachother.

Using Windows 7 proffessional.
When Im going to controlpanel/screen settings I can only see one screen in the settings.
My primary screen is connected with hdmi->vga.
The second screen I have tryed with both mini-displayport->vga and mini-displayport->dvi-d.

Regards
Mikael

I wonder if any official person from gigabyte is looking at this forum.
It would be nice to come in contact with them, cannot find email or phone on their website.

Did you have any results with this issue? We recently bought 19 Brix II i5 systems for a school. They will be used to run a projector as well as a monitor. One thing we did find (using DisplayPort ---> VGA and HDMI ----> VGA adapters) is that the HDMI output has to go to the monitor. If we use it on the projectors the display periodically blanks out for several seconds. Using DisplayPort to the projectors works fine. However, sometimes we need to leave the Brix running for about half an hour for it to turn on the second display.
