Nvidia 2060

Laptop screen 1080p

the Surround configuration options seems disabled in Nvidia control panel.

Please help

All you need is to connect the display port to your monitor and daisy chain it with another one to get a dual surround monitor experience as the Thunderbolt one can do it but I’d stick to the display port.

Well thunderbolt is based off of DisplayPort and the technology to configure multiple monitors together is daisy chaining where you can get up to 3 monitors with 1 cable.
