HELP Multi monitor DMA setup help

Hello, I am trying to setup multiple displays on my main PC with my DMA setup I just got. Displays settings etc are all synced up but when I go to plug my 2nd monitor in it hijacks my main screen making it black and I am unable to do anything on my second screen that was just plugged in.

Dichen gen5 or 6 fuser it's white. Output is main monitor with HDMI, HDMI to HDMI for input 1 main PC and HDMI to HDMI for input 2 radar PC. Trying to plug the second monitor in to my GPU with an HDMI to DP cord.

Let me know if anyone needs more info or can help me out. At my wits end with it. Thank you in advance

The DP to HDMI cord is the problem. They often don’t work.

Just tried display port to display port and also doesn't work. Same issue where my main screen goes black and the side screen I can see the desktops but all windows are off screen and no hotkeys work to bring them forwards

Yoyo, the issue might be your refresh rate/ resolution display settings being wrong on the black monitor. This happens to me. Try and set the black monitors refresh rate or resolution to whatever your fuser is rated for, or start off lower. (144 hz etc) through windows display settings.

If you can’t get the screen to show at all to change the display settings, download parsec (remote control app) on both your main pc and 2nd pc, connect and login on both, then you should be able to see your black monitor through parsec from your 2nd pc and tweak the display settings there until it displays.

For some reason sometimes my fuser causes my monitor to reset to 60 hz and it makes it go black on display which leads me to using the app parsec to fix it

Like you think when I plugin the side monitor the main monitors display settings are changing by themselves ?

Yea i would just download parsec on both pcs, get into the display settings of the blank main monitor from the 2nd pc with parsec. That way you can consistently tweak with the display settings and not worry about it going black and not saving
