HP Monitor E234D Showing as Dual Monitors

[Jobos]

Using Win11 24H2 with a single HP E234D monitor and in display setting the display is showing as 2 monitors extending. Normally I would leave it as it works fine but it's displaying 2 wallpapers side by side. We use BGInfo and this will refresh every logon so it's not just a case of changing the wallpaper.

 

Any idea how to get the PC to just see one monitor?

How's it connected to the PC?

Displayport to HDMI lead plus a USB lead  for the built-in webcam.

My guess is the usb c connection is doing it.

 

I'd pull the DP>HDMI cable and see how you get on.

the D in e243D stands for dock so that cable is also carrying your display output.

Thanks I'll try that.

As already mentioned - you’re double-feeding it a display signal. It’s coping well by the sounds of it

Well I pulled the HDMI and there was no display until I put the HDMI back in. Not the end of the world but it does cause problems for GBInfo.

Did you try changing the source?
