I have these specs below, but I can't seem to configure how the two displays works the same or work as one with the same activity, like using the laptops.

CPU: AMD A8-7600 Radeon R7 (APU used in 20" Samsung LED monitor

GPU: Palit Nvidia GeForce GT730 (used for 55" TCL TV)
RAM: 8gb 1866 ddr3 w/ heatsink
OS: windows 8.1

thanks for all your help..

Usually people buy APUs, such as your A8-7600, so they can use the integrated graphics and not have to buy a separate videocard. It's a cost effective way of building a computer if you don't plan to need the power of a separate videocard.

The next step up is to pair a videocard with the integrated graphics, so you get extra performance. There are certain requirements though. This only works with certain models of videocards, you can't just buy anything and pair it up.

The final option is to just buy the videocard you need and use that, and not use the integrated graphics at all.

Not sure what you are asking, are you saying the onboard and the nVidia card do not work at the same time for multiple monitor connections? Or are you trying to configure them for something like Dual Graphics, Crossfile or SLI to increase speed? The second won't work with your system, you would need an AMD card to use dual graphics, and not all of those will work with the APU.
