If I purchase two monitors for use as dual with one computer what kind of cable do I need to link them together?

You will first need a duel video card VGA or DVI in your computer to support the 2 monitors so you connect each cable to video card ports and you need to have the software in your computer to link both monitorsThe 1908FP monitor comes with VGA and DVI ports

If you are working from a desk top computer you will need to purchase a duel video card along with the second monitor. The EVGA GeForce GT 620 1024MB DDR3 Dual DVI card for sale here on Amazon looks like a good one. If you are not familiar with how to install it check out videos on YouTube.

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.

You would need to get either two DVI to VGA adapters or two DVI to VGA cables. Or better yet, two monitors with DVI inputs.

You will probably need two DVI cables (connect from splitter to the monitor) or if you have VGA cales, you will need DVI to VGA adapters (available at Amazon or Walmart) to connect to the splitter and then connect the VGA cable from Adapter to the monitor.

This specific adapter will allow you to add 2 monitors to any setup you currently have. All you need is a USB port available (preferably USB 3.0).

You will just use any HDMI cable. There is a very slight chance you will need to use a display port connector though. They look similar but there is a distinct visual difference. Look up HDMI and Digital Port on Googel images and you will see the difference. A DisplayPort is a computer connection format. There is only one television with DisplayPort , and don't expect it to see much further adoption on the TV side. It's capable of 3,840x2,160-pixel resolution at 60fps, if you have at least DisplayPort 1.2 and the Multi-Stream Transport feature. If you're looking to connect a computer to a monitor, there's no reason not to use DisplayPort. The cables are roughly the same price as HDMI. However, HDMI is most likely what the monitor's using. Hope this helps.

Two PC's to one monitor? Yes. You just switch which channel for each PC you want to view.

Via VGA. It's the same connection your present monitor is probably already using.

I have it setup so that either of my laptops can use one central monitor. First you need to figure out what you want your central monitor to be, plug that central source into the VGA out, then the two devices you want to use this display would be plugged into the two in ports.

You can connect two displays with what comes in the box. You will need to buy mini active display port to whatever (hdmi, dvi etc) for each additional display. Active is important and, from what I remember, there are some adapters that say they are active and won't work.It was a while ago, but I used 8 Accell B087B from Amazon and that works fine.

1) You'll need a standard HDMI cable (not a "mini" or "micro"), male connector on one end and female on the other. Don't buy a cord way longer than what you need, as signal degradation increases with length.2) you'll need a mini stereo phone cord (not 3.5 mm, that's the old standard phone jack size), male connectors on both ends; and3) a VGA cable, male connector on one end and female on the other (this is the cord you'd use to connect another monitor to your laptop)

This is a splitter, not a switch.For two computers to a single monitor, you need a switch.

This will work. You plug both devices into this box. You need a seperate male-to-mael VGA cable to run from this box to the monitor. The box has 2 buttons, one for each device; press the button for the device you want to see on your monitor screen.

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

Depends on the monitors you want to connect. But i recommend DVI + DVI or DVI + DisplayPort.

Er, yeah. You run a USB cable from the monitor to the computer, and then get two USB ports on the monitor. I've never used these though.

This simple cable is to connect 1 VGA (Computer/Output) to 2 (Monitors/Inputs), which is useful for having 2 monitors in different locations viewing the same output, like a security system video output. If you want to connect 2 Towers (Computers) to 1 Monitor, you will need a VGA Switch box or a KVM to be able to select which Computer to be displayed on the Monitor.
