Dual monitor info needed

Hey RedsYNWA,

I had the same problem when I went to dual monitors and this is how I got around it.

I have my left monitor connected to the normal VGA port. My right hand monitor is connected to a DisplayPort. It is necessary to get a VGA-DisplayPort adapter to act as a bridge. Adaptor shown below.

If you don't have DisplayPorts on the back of the box, you may be able to do the same with DVI or HDMI ports.

I would be interested to hear of multiple monitor setups from others.

Good Luck

could you specify the exact monitos i will not be able to help without incomplete information of exact set up

You can also use a USB vga adapter if you don't have HDMI or Display port
I had one at work as far back as 2015
https://www.amazon.ca/USB-to-VGA-Adapters/b?ie=UTF8&node=3341293011

It comes with its own device driver and instructions (or mine did anyway)

If your computer has display port connection, try to find a monitor that has display port inputs to save the adapter cost.
Display port is faster than vga

I don't know how it compares to HDMI

I thought i had a display port on the back of the pc but i was wrong.So ill try hdmi to vga and maybe third time lucky.

Best of luck.
If you haven't already ordered one, perhaps post images of the ports on your computer, and the ports on the monitor you want to use.

Good idea but ive already ordered a hdmi to vga and sent the other one back for a refund but if it doesn't work ill certainly take a picture and post before trying again.

Cheers.

Tried this one and it works perfectly the connection on the end looks the same as the one i sent back so who knows what i was doing wrong.

It might have been defective.

Who knows.

Good to hear you're on your way!
