How do I plug in the second monitor? There's only one port.

If your machine has a dvi port you can split it with a dvi to two vga connector. If not you will have to get a different video card. You could also call tech support from where you got it they will help you.

You need a Y splitter. When I ordered mine, they sent it with the PC. Amazon has some that very inexpensive.

It should have came with a cord that is like a splitter. The video card supports two monitors but you need that splitter to plug them both in. It should have a black plug that goes into the computer and two blue plugs that come out and go into the monitors.

Hello, I do not think that you would be able to connect an additional monitor unless there is a way to do that by USB

One side is a normal size HDMI connector (female) so you would plug in a HDMI cable (not provided) into this then plug the other end into your tv or device (it also provides a hdmi to DVI adapter if you want to hook it up to older monitors that don't support hdmi input), the other end of the device is a common mini usb (female) connector, you plug the provided usb cable into this then connect it to your pc usb port. http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-High-Speed-HDMI-Cable-Meters/dp/B003L1ZYYM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1402726969&sr=8-1&keywords=hdmi+cable

Hi, I haven't actually tried this myself and don't have a spare monitor home to attempt it. But if its not displaying to the second monitor after connection the hdmi port, try going to control panel and changing the display settings. Sometimes the settings for the display remains on the main monitor only and you have to set how you want the computer to handle the second monitor. You could usually set it to duplicate the same screen on two monitors with either both on or the main one off; or it can be set to span the desktop image accross the two displays.

Make sure both cables on the screen are securely attached to the main board. It sounds like one is plugged in but the others not.

Depends on your monitor, the newer monitors have a power plug, if it is an older monitor then you would have to purchase a power supply seperately.

I'm not exactly sure.....here is my setup: 1 - laptop native display 1 - hdmi out FROM laptop 1 - hdmi out FROM this universal hub although from their picture - looks like they have 2 monitors connected to the hub (1 is hdmi, the other might be the DVI port)

I use a laptop which I have on a separate stand as a second monitor to the side

You can connect it via HDMI or DVI, there is no USB video source unless you have 2 monitors.

nope, you plug this into an usb port, let the plug and play install the drivers, then connect a second monitor.

It has only one DVI and VGA Port. May you can think of some spiliters and connect two sources! I have not done it.

I believe the computer only had Display Port out and you'll need an adapter. did you use an adapter?Startech DP2HDMI DisplayPort to HDMI Video Adapter Converter

I would first check to see that your laptop could support two monitors at 2560x1440 and then confirm it has to display-port ports.

Yup, I used one DVI cable, one HDMI cable, and one DisplayPort to HDMI cable. Worked perfectly.

Yes...this is exactly what I did. I already had one monitor hooked up to my pc with a regular vga cable. I wanted to add a second monitor and the only video port I had left on my pc was an hdmi port. So I plugged the hdmi end of this adaptor into the back of the pc and attached the vga cable of the second monitor to vga side of this adaptor...so far, it works perfectly and both monitors work. Hope this helps.
