Given that this machine has both VGA and a HDMI output could I run monitors off of both jacks simultaneously for a total of 3 monitors? Thx.

I haven't done this with A7200 that but I don't see why one can't because I have done that with my work laptop at work.

Hi - Let's clarify something right away. Do not use VGA & HDMI cables from the same source at the same time. Just remember that what ever source you feed this monitor with an HDMI cable will be the one that sound is applied to the headset jack on the back. Anything else, you will have to hook up your speaker system straight to the source unit ( PC-Game unit - video feeds ) Hooking up directly to the source unit will generally give you the best sound anyway. If you have more than one feed to the monitor, it has a switch to select which one you will receive at any given moment. The HDMI feed will be the only one that sends sound to the monitor headphone jack, and you can plug a sound system into this jack or just headphones. - Good luck and enjoy! - Jim T.

Yes, that is how my setup is: http://i.imgur.com/vc7h9mm.jpgHere's the trick though, you need to buy 2 of these. I know there are directions that say "the third monitor must use the adapter" but it's actually 2 out of the 3 screens need to have them in order to work. I'm using an older mac pro tower and it has 2 mini display ports and 1 dvi. I have the 2 mini display cables each running through an Accell adapter, and then my third screen goes straight from dvi to hdmi to the TV. Make sure all of your connections are seated properly, I thought my adapters went out but it was the weight of the cable "pulling" slightly on my HDMI. I've been using these for a few months now and they haven't failed yet! Yes, that is how my setup is: http://i.imgur.com/vc7h9mm.jpgHere's the trick though, you need to buy 2 of these.

Depends what you want to do with it. Can you run 3 monitors? Yes. Can you play games on 3 monitors? Probably not. http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1649970/geforce-gtx-650-run-monitors.htmlhttp://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/video-cards/57285-video-card-choices-3-4-monitors.htmlhttp://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1649970/geforce-gtx-650-run-monitors.html#.

There should be 2 VGA ports IIRC and an HDMI. Try it with a different monitor too!!

Tom - you'd have to connect each PC to BOTH ports, a DVI and VGA. For example, my Dell laptop docking stations all have both DVI and VGA outputs, so I can switch back and forth between my two laptops and each gets both monitors. Pretty sure that if you just connect the DVI jack to your computer you will only have one monitor, not two.

It will run 3 monitors at once. It has DVI, DisplayPort, and HDMI outputs. I have 2 running on mine, as I don't use the DisplayPort output. It runs an HDTV at 1824x1024 through the HDMI, and a 23" LED monitor at 1920x1080 through the DVI.

You can use the DVI and HDMI to run two monitors. You can also use the DVI connector and the onboard VGA connector. That is the way I use it (my monitors don't have an HDMI connection). To use the DVI+VGA you have to go into the BIOS setup and enable the onboard VGA.

There is also a DVI output but I have not used multiple displays. However if I had to bet my life on it I would bet that if there are multiple outputs you would be able to use 2 monitors.

Yes you can. Just use the different display ports. Some say you need a active adapter if you are going with eyefinity. I do not use mine for eyefinity so I cannot confirm this. http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2168652/290-run-triple-monitor-setup.html

No you can't run dual monitors with the onboard ports you will need to use a video card. I have already exhausted all other possibilities.

I have never seen computer monitors enter into a duel...they have a hard time walking 20 paces :) However, the built in "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 645" can output to up to 4 displays (spanning 3 together plus a separate accessory display): 1 HDMI port, 1 Displayport, 1 DVI-I and one DVI-D, so you will need to combine these available outputs.

This unit has (1) HDMI output and (1) VGA Output. You can hook up one monitor directly to each port and use both monitors with no additional equipment. If you need to hook up multiple monitors of the same type to either port, a video distributor (splitter) can be added. For VGA, you can use the EL-VGA4 for up to 4 monitors and the EL-VGA8 for up to 8 monitors. For HDMI, you can use the HDMI-4S for up to 4 monitors and the HDMI-8S for up to 8 monitors. Hope that helps!

Hi, This card will support two monitors simultaneously, as stated in the manual. Given that, I don't really see why you would want to drive one monitor from the card and one from the motherboard - using system RAM rather than dedicated graphics RAM. However, if the latter is what you wanted to do, I can't think why that would not work. But, it's a great card at a bargain price so why not drive two monitors from it?

no it will not work, you will need to purchase an **active** display-port adapter in order to do 3 monitors. Atleast one of your 3 monitors will need to be set up with an active port and the other two can be hooked up with any other type of connection.

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

Not with this. It is a switch. Its either one or the other. Its mostly used for TV's with only one HDMI. You can use HDMI out on a laptop and possibly VGA out but probably not for 3 separate screens. Need a decent graphics card in your PC to do that.
