There are several ways to connect displays –

  2. External HDMI Display (Chromebox & Chromebase only)
  3. External DisplayPort Display (Select Chromebox models only)
  4. USB->HDMI (DVI, or VGA) Display Adapters (Must be UDL 3.0 compatible, works on most Chrome devices)

  1. Log in to Chrome OS
  2. Click the clock in the bottom right hand corner
  3. Click “Settings
  4. Scroll down to “Device“, Click “Displays
  5. Arrange monitors as needed
  6. Choose Extended, Mirrored, or Unified Desktop (must be enabled, see instructions for Unified Desktop)
  7. Apply settings to each monitor by clicking on it to select it (turns blue) and then changing the options – resolution, orientation, etc.
  8. Click “Done”
