# Can I Change the Monitor Type for an Existing Monitor?

Unfortunately, **no**. Once you have setup a Monitor you cannot change the Monitor Type of that Monitor. We do not allow this because every Monitor has a set of different features that are not always interchangeable with your existing settings.  
  
Alternately, you can accomplish this same task by deleting your existing Monitor and setting up a new Monitor with the desired Monitor Type. You can then redefine all of your monitor settings under that new Monitor.
