How many monitors can Samsung DeX support?
Here's how it works: By the power vested in VMware's Horizon client and Samsung DeX, owners of a Galaxy Tab S8 series, S22 series, or other flagship Galaxy device can enjoy a virtual Windows desktop PC experience with the added capability of being able to double the screen count to two.
With larger tablets, DeX can be used directly on-screen with a keyboard case, as well as on a connected monitor with an external keyboard and mouse. You can also run DeX on a monitor from Samsung's flagship foldable, the Galaxy Z Fold4.
Right-click on your desktop, and then select Display properties or Display settings. Then, scroll down to Multiple displays, and select your desired option in the drop-down list. Extend these displays: This lets you use both monitors and have something different on each one.
A laptop is always going to be more powerful and more versatile than a smartphone linked to a big screen. Good laptops don't have to cost a fortune either. However, DeX is a good alternative if you're thinking about using an Android tablet for productivity.
First, with your TV remote, open the Source menu and activate screen mirroring. Now, on your Galaxy device, pull down the notification bar and tap on DeX in the Quick Settings panel. Tap on DeX on TV or Monitor. You'll see a list of available devices to connect with.

Samsung's latest series of high-resolution displays — the S Series — comes ready for daisy chaining, supporting everything from ultra-high-definition (UHD) to ultra-wide quad high-definition (Ultra WQHD), plus built-in technologies like HDR10 to deliver precise, vivid visuals.
You can't daisy-chain via USB-C, VGA, or HDMI ports. While you may see some talk of a USB daisy-chain setup, these typically involve the use of USB hubs or other accessories to be successful.
It is possible to chain together monitors with different display resolutions. For example, one 2560 x 1600 monitor could be used with two 1920 x 1080 monitors.
Is Samsung DeX discontinued?
In October 2019 Samsung announced that Linux on DeX will not be available for Android 10 and warned users that after upgrade to Android 10 they will not be able to downgrade back, permanently losing the ability to use full Linux applications.
The good: Quality of life features (like window snapping) have made DeX much more approachable. Many apps (especially from Samsung and Google) work better on the big screen than they used to. Performance is decent on a phone older than 2 years, and I've had no overheating problems yet.
Samsung DeX is the way to get a desktop experience with select Galaxy devices. Simply place your phone onto the DeX Station and DeX Pad, or plug in the DeX Cable, and connect to a monitor, keyboard, and mouse to continue what you're doing on your phone on the large monitor screen.
Here's how it works: By the power vested in VMware's Horizon client and Samsung DeX, owners of a Galaxy Tab S8 series, S22 series, or other flagship Galaxy device can enjoy a virtual Windows desktop PC experience with the added capability of being able to double the screen count to two.
Running DeX uses more processing power and battery than normal smartphone-only modes. Without a fan, there is a risk of things overheating even with the Galaxy Note 9's stronger cooling system.
With the latest Galaxy devices, including Galaxy Z Fold3, Galaxy S22 and Tab S8, Samsung has introduced the ability to use DeX wirelessly. Wireless DeX works on most Smart TVs that support Miracast, though Samsung Smart TVs released in 2019 or after provide the best experience.
DeX will now enable flagship Galaxy tablets and smartphones to act as second screens for Horizon client-based virtual Windows PC setups. Samsung named the Galaxy Tab S8 series and S22 series as two examples of device lines that'll play well with the two-screen DeX experience.
