MAINGEAR shroud Edition & shroud Signature Edition - Internal Screen Setup Guide

The internal screen in your Shroud Edition or Shroud Signature Edition PC works just like an external display—only inside your PC! It comes pre-installed, set up as a secondary screen in portrait mode in Windows display settings, and even has its own preset wallpaper.

Note: If no other displays are connected when you turn on your PC, the internal screen will act as the main display. This can cause orientation issues in Windows since it's meant to be a secondary screen.

If you're having any trouble setting up your displays, please follow the instructions below:

  1. Ensure all displays are powered on and properly connected.
    • Connect your primary display(s) to the graphics card via DisplayPort or HDMI.
    • Ensure the internal screen is securely connected to the motherboard I/O via USB-C (some models may also need a USB-A cable for power).
    • If the internal screen isn’t displaying, press its power button to turn it on (it should be on by default).
  2. After turning your PC on and logging into Windows, right-click anywhere on the desktop screen, then click Display settings.


  1. Once in Display settings, click Identify to check what number Windows has assigned to your main display. It will most likely be "1". If your main display is not set as the Windows main display (Display 1), click Make this my main display, then click Apply.
    1. This will ensure that programs and games are opened in the correct display:

  1. While in Display settings, ensure that the internal screen, most likely Windows display number "2", is set to the correct resolution and orientation:
  • Resolution: 720 x1920
  • Orientation: Portrait or Portrait (flipped)

  1. If the stock wallpapers are incorrect, you can reset them in Settings → Personalization → Background. In Picture mode, hover over the desired wallpaper, right-click, and select "2" to set it for the internal screen or "1" for the main display.

After changing these settings, both the internal screen and your main display should now be set up correctly!


Lastly, be sure to check the refresh rate of your main display and set it to the maximum refresh rate for the best gaming performance. To do this go to Settings → System → Display settings and then Advanced display. Select the highest refresh rate available and you're ready to game!
