Dual Screen with Precision 7520
I just bought a Dell S2719NX monitor and want to use it as a dual screen along with my Precision 7520 workstation's screen. The monitor only has an HDMI connection port; when I connect the cable from the monitor to the workstation (with the workstation screen up), the workstation doesn't know which screen to use and freezes up. How can I make this work?

If you boot to Windows, right-click on your desktop and select Display Settings. You should find a setting (Multiple Displays) that will allow you to either replicate the display on the laptop onto the external monitor, -or- to extend the desktop. You can also set which will be the main display when extending them.
Can you call up that settings?
It's possible you need to set a resolution for the external display that is compatible with the 7520 (1920x1080). Start there, and then try other settings.
Let us know.
