Can you connect 2 displays to this computer and have them be 2 independent monitors?

Yes. One monitor plugs into the VGA port and the other has to plug into the HDMI port. If you don't have an HDMI enabled monitor (and are using a VGA monitor), then you need to get a VGA to HDMI adapter. The computer is kinda laggy on audio and video though, I don't really recommend it. Get used to your music buzzing a lot.

Sorry, but I just don't know. Maybe you could google that question or even call Dell and ask them :-D

Yes, one to VGA & the other to HDMI. You may need an adapter. You can extend or mirror the two displays. See - Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Display\Screen Resolution. Had no issues.

Instead of plugging in a monitor to each of the different ports, you might be able to daisy-chain your monitors through the DisplayPort. Your monitors will have to support DP 1.2.

Yes, but only if you have a second rgb or dvi plug on your computer side then you could plug in the hdmi to the monitor if it supports hdmi. If not, I suggest using an RGB splitter which uses 1 to the computer and and 2 out to the monitors. It is located here on amazon as follows; (copy this and paste it to the amazon search) PTC Premium 1-FT GOLD Series VGA / SVGA 1 source to 2 displays Splitter cable - 2 separated leads for the displays for greater reliability and eliminates signal interference. Duplicates the image from the video source to 2 displays. If I did not understand your question I apologize

You may run a single signal and split it to both monitors , that's how I wired mine.

Dell has two monitor slot on a single graphic card. In that case yes you can hook up two monitor at a time.Dell is very users friendly in the matter of dual monitor use.

No. There is just a single input on the splitter. It allows you to have the same screen view on two separate DVI monitors, but it is not capable of providing the ability to dispay two separate programs or files at the same time.

I have not found this to be possible - only two at a time.I typically do 2 DVI or 1 DVI + HDMI.

Hi Ah yes you can connect 2 lcd's but you will need 2 video cables one VGA to DVI or one HDMI to DVI and the second one DVI to DVI and it should work fine

No. One port is one signal. You couldn't even get two displays with one port and a splitter.

Yes you can but I don't have a need to add another monitor. Also you can upgrade the ram yourself and save on the cost of not getting the 8gb ram version.

you need to have a video card that can support 2 monitors...look on the back of the computer , are there 2 vga or DVI connectors? then it will support 2 monitors.

Possibly, but I'm not sure. I only have connected to single monitor.Check with Dell support forums.

Hi, Yes you can. This unit has DVI, VGA and HDMI ports to plug in your monitors and Windows 8 supports multiple monitors. Thanks, PCrush

Not concurrently, in my experience. It will let you toggle between 2, if you have 3 connected. If you want to have a third monitor for basic 2-D stuff, you might get one of those add on USB-DVI/VGA devices, but they are CPU intensive.

You need to buy two. Each adapter allows to connect one single monitor using USB port.

I do not believe so, as the output is singular to one display. I think what you want is this: http://www.monitorsanywhere.com/

yes, we have 2 monitors set up on this computer. We had to order cords for it I think.
