Configure Your Tablet to Work with a Second Monitor

You can improve your productivity and efficiency by using a second monitor. To work with an external monitor, your tablet must have a video output port, such as VGA, DVI, or HDMI. If you do not have such a port, check with the manufacturer to see if an adapter is available that enables your tablet to connect with an external monitor.

After you have connected your tablet and the external monitor, you then need to configure Windows 8 to extend the Start screen to both the tablet screen and the external monitor.
