    Hi to all,

    I don't know much about it, so I have a question for you.
    Is it possible to connect two laptops so that one of them works only as a second monitor to the first?
    Laptops include Lenovo y50-70 which is to be the "base" and Lenovo Y530 who wants it to be an additional monitor.

    And some program that remotely displays on a second laptop via wi-fi or other miracles?

    You mean that you have a damaged matrix in one and you want to display on the other?

    Both are operational, but I often work remotely from home and want to use one laptop with an extra monitor connected from the other laptop. One laptop with two screens but independent of each other.

    It's best to draw a diagram, because nobody understood what you mean. If you want to have two laptops on one desk and a monitor to have 3 screens from one laptop, it is impossible. If you want to have a connection at home to a laptop at work and a screen from this laptop from work on the monitor screen, and the home screen on a home laptop, it can be some remote desktop program, eg Teamviewer.
    Helpful post? Buy me a coffee.

    There is no such option and the end of the topic - you would have to physically stick to the latpopa matrices.

    Some older aliens had such an option that had an HDMI input (not an output, but an input).

    Installs on both teamwiewer on the same account. If you add them to your account, they will be visible when they are turned on. You can log in from one to the other and vice versa.

    Through teamviewer, I will see the same on both screens, and I want to have a word on, for example, and Excel on the other

    What systems do you have?

    In Win 10 there is screen sharing from another computer over the network. I guess it was something from Miracast or derivatives.

    The equipment had to handle it too. Maybe it can be done.
    best regards

    It won't work, I searched myself and found nothing.

    If you want to use the monitor without cables, maybe you should be interested in HDMI wireless transmission, I tried, but it did not work for me due to the constant re-plugging of the wires (I wanted to save on the number of transmitters and it did not work for me).

    best regards

    @_robert_ B Here I did not know that Win 7 and 8.1 can handle it. Time to get back to fumbling. Thanks!

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the feasibility of using two Lenovo laptops, the Y50-70 as the primary device and the Y530 as a secondary monitor. Users express skepticism about directly connecting the laptops for dual-screen functionality, noting that traditional methods do not support this setup. Suggestions include using remote desktop applications like TeamViewer to share screens, although this would not allow for independent displays. Some users mention potential solutions involving Miracast for Windows 10, but compatibility issues arise with Windows 7 and 8.1. Overall, the consensus is that a direct dual-screen setup is not possible without specialized hardware.
