How to Connect an Additional Monitor to Your Cree8 Workstation

Adding an additional monitor to your Cree8 workstation can greatly enhance your productivity and improve your overall experience. Whether you need more screen real estate for multitasking or want to have a larger display for your projects, connecting an extra monitor is a simple process. In this article, we will guide you through the steps to successfully connect your additional monitor to your Cree8 workstation.

Step 1: Connect Your Monitor

The first step is to connect your additional monitor to your local computer. You can do this by using an HDMI, Thunderbolt, or Display port. Make sure to use a high-quality cable for the best results. Once the monitor is connected, you will need to reboot your computer.

Step 2: Check Your System Settings

After rebooting, you need to make sure that your system recognizes the added monitor. This step may vary depending on your operating system.

For Mac Users:

If you are using a Mac, go to System Preferences and click on the "Displays" option. This will open a window where you can see all the connected displays. Your added monitor should be listed here. If it is not, make sure the cable is securely connected and try rebooting your computer again.

For PC Users:

If you are using a PC, go to Settings and click on the "System" option. From there, select "Display" and you will see a list of connected displays. If your added monitor is not listed, make sure the cable is properly connected and try rebooting your computer.

Step 3: Let Cree8 Do the Work

Once your system recognizes the added monitor, the Cree8 Client will automatically add it to your Cree8 workstation. This means you can start using your additional monitor right away without any additional setup.

It is important to note that it is recommended to connect the added monitor directly to your local computer rather than using a break-out box or connection hub type peripheral. This will ensure the best performance and minimize any potential issues.

That's it! You have successfully connected an additional monitor to your Cree8 workstation. Enjoy the extra screen space and boost your productivity.
