Considerations for a built-in display (e.g. a laptop screen)
Built-in displays typically use either an eDP (off the chipset or mobile processor) or LVDS connector type. To determine which connector type your built-in display uses, try one of the following options:
Option 1
- Open the Intel® Graphics Command Center :
- From the Windows Start Menu, search for Intel Graphics Command Center. Click the Intel Graphics Command Center icon to open the application.
- Select Display.
- Select Information.
- Check the Connector Type field.
Option 2
- Open the Intel® Graphics Control Panel :
- From the Windows Start Menu, search for Intel Graphics Control Panel. Click the Intel Graphics Control Panel icon to open the application.
- Select Options and Support.
- Change System Information to Built-in Display.
- Check the Connector Type field.
Supported configurations
To find the maximum number of screens and resolution supported by your Intel® Graphics Devices, follow these steps:
- Visit the product specification site .
- Search for your processor model. If you don't know your model number, you can use the Intel® Processor Identification Utility.
- Under the Graphics Specifications section, find the maximum resolution specs and maximum number of displays supported by the graphics controller included in that processor.
Most combinations of HDMI, DVI, VGA, DisplayPort (DP), and Embedded DP (eDP) are supported on Graphics for 3rd Generation Intel® Processors and newer. If you are unsure on which Generation your processor is, you can identify the Generation of Intel® Core™ Processors .
Intel HD Graphics 4000/2500 of 3rd Generation Intel® Core™ Processors, Intel HD Graphics of Intel® Pentium® Processors 2000/G2000/G2100 series, Intel HD Graphics of Intel® Celeron® Processors 1000/G1000 series products support three displays with the following configurations:
- If two of the displays are DisplayPort monitors
- If one of the displays is Intel® Wireless Display (Intel® WiDi)
- If the built-in display is an Embedded DisplayPort (eDP)
