no display settings in nvidia control panel

That is, there is no problem as such, and the display settings can usually be done in another way, as discussed later in the article. I hope the logic of what is happening is clear. In PCs it also happens that if you have a discrete NVIDIA graphics card, the monitor is connected to the integrated outputs on the motherboard (for example, because there is no monitor with a compatible input), as a result there is nothing to display and no appears in the 'Display' section.

The above does not mean that an NVIDIA graphics card is not used in games, for example: it does its job, but the output is through the integrated video (although not always - it depends on the specific graphics switching technology used by the manufacturer.

Also, when there are multiple monitor outputs on a laptop, some of them may be onboard video outputs and others may be discrete video outputs from an NVIDIA GeForce graphics card.

In the case of a laptop, the integrated display is usually physically connected to an integrated graphics card, such as Intel HD, rather than a discrete NVIDIA GPU.
