Hi again,  & once more thank you for your helpful and considerate reply. Since yesterday I have, however, found out that the USB-C size connector on the laptop is in fact a Thunderbolt 3 port (I didn't know and the seller didn't either) so I think the immediately most obvious solution would be to use the Thunderbolt 3 port to connect with a suitable docking station - and then connect both the monitors to this dock. In this way I would only have to plug & unplug one small cable when using the laptop elsewhere.  Mind-boggling BTW that signal speeds on these small connections now have reached 40 Gbps (although I think this is Thunderbolt 4 standard) ... Speedy, indeed ... In any case many thanks for replying & helping out - it is great to be able to find this kind of backup when matters are beyond my fields of knowledge  Cheers & have a good day, Jesper M
Hi all,  I have a question that I would appreciate getting a bit of help with: As it is I have just bought a Latitude 7490 (seems to be a fine laptop BTW) - yet for some reason I cannot make the HDMI connection to my monitor go beyond the 1920*1080 resolution that is the native resolution for the laptop's screen.  The 7490 finds a monitor with the correct model No. (IIyama PL2779Q) but even if the monitor's native resolution is 2560*1440 the 7490 does not show this as an option. Trying to register a new monitor gives no result.  I think I have tried everything that is immediately accessible in the "monitor setup" dialog - so I would much appreciate help from someone who knows what can be done.  Cheers & thanks for any help in this! Jesper M  
Cannot set up external monitor to high resolution ... ?
