My desktop has a DVI and a HDMI output, if I want to setup dual monitors, do I need an extra HDMI-to-DVI or HDMI-to-VGA cable?

Most Windows PCs will drive only 2 monitors, some of the newer ones will support 2 external monitors plus the laptop display at the same time, although not all will do this.A special usb to dvi/hdmi box is about $50, I use 2 of those for 3 full monitors plus the laptop display. Do t forget you wont have touch without a touch monitor...

These monitors have a DVI and an VGA connection. DVI and HDMI are digital, where VGA is analog. I would go with an HDMI to DVI cable to add to your existing DVI cable.

Yes, I currently have two monitors hooked up to my computer. We have 2 DVI hooked up by using a DVI adaptor on the VGA output.

It comes with two standard computer VGA monitor connections. It does not have DVI or HDMI video outputs, but your monitor or TV may provide multiple types of inputs, including VGA.

Nope. Only inputs are DVI and VGA. HDMI is less likely to be on monitors specifically since it includes audio signal which the monitor won't process (and could play havoc with your audio out from your computer).

I'm running two monitors on it right now. Just be aware, there is one VGA port and one DVI port available with the onboard setup, so if you are wanting to run dual DVI monitors, you'll need an additional video card. If you're fine with one on VGA and one on DVI, you're good to go out of the box.

You need a converter box which are fairly expensive. DVI are Digital and VGA are analog.

the hdmi can carry an audio signal from your video card, so games etc will play video and audio through the monitors' speakers, whereas, the DVI signal will only carry the video signal w/ no audio. both are indistinguishably great quality video though.

I'm using it with 1 passive displayport-to-dvi connector, one active hdmi-to-vga connector, and the dvi port. It will also deliver VGA through its dvi port so you can use a passive adapter from dvi to vga.

two DVI and one HDMI You can run two monitors and your TV all at the same time you can plug a VGA adapter in it if you don't have DVI on your monitor

BTW if youre still thinking and didn't buy, I use it for that, windows desktop on monitor 1, and HDMI to tv on TV that's monitor 2. You can buy a 10 foot blue rigger mini hdmi thats on the card on 1 end, and regular that's on your TV on the other. As far as DVI my monitor understood it fine as it was HP 52031. Very happy with the card and the cable.

This desktop has a vga and a hdmi port. Since both are on an integrated video card I believed it will not run dual monitors its and either or situation

You will need a mini displayport to DVI adapter/cable. Both adapters (where you would need to buy the adapter + a DVI cable) are available as well as full length cables that are mini displayport on one end and DVI on the other. Just search Amazon for "mini displayport to DVI" to see various options.

I recently just set mine up last night. I am using 3 monitors and had to go into the BIOS and enable onboard video to get the 3rd monitor to work. 2 of my monitors are plugged into the Video Card using 1 DVI and 1 HDMI and the 3rd is plugged into onboard DVI. Im assuming you could use the extra onboard VGA to hook up a 4th monitor if you needed to. If you didn't want to use VGA then you would have to install a 2nd video card in the machine.

No, you would need a VGA to DVI when I bought this it was for a DVI to VGA just get the connection the other way around

I agree with what ReynerN said in response to your question; so long as you have a DVI output from your desktop, VGA is cake.

HDMI or VGA cable will work. If you only have a DVI port, you can get a HDMI to DVI adapter.

Video card has a HDMI out a DVI out and a VGA out. For the clearest resolution you're probably going to want to get HDMI cable.
