How many HDMI ports does this have? I saw on one website that it has 2 HDMI and 1 DVI which would work perfectly for my 3-monitor split, but I wanted to hear from someone who has actually seen the machine hands-on.

The unit actually has a single HDMI, one DVI and a VGA.(There is also a VGA from the motherboard, but I have not tried using that in conjunction with the graphics card) The DVI and VGA are linked so if you are doing split monitor operations, they are the same output. I do use the HDMI port as a split monitor and the controls allow you to designate which will be mon1 and mon2 --- with the desktop where you want it. Hope that helps.

Yes. Dual monitors should work fine provided you use any 2 of the three interfaces (DVI, HDMI, VGA). Using three monitors seems to have been an issue for some, and using 2 monitors with same interface/cable would require an adapter and *might* cause an issue. Just use one DVI and one HDMI and you will be fine! That being said...if you plan on doing anything more than watching video or playing VERY simple games (like puzzle/adventure games or old school DX9 games) then I have to agree with KYle -- buy a cheap graphics card. The nice thing about this new board is it is cheap,rock solid(so far), and allows you to make that upgrade down the line when you have more cash.

Hi Thomas, only one. It has x1 DVI-I port, x1 DVI-D port, x1 HDMI and x1 display port (i have this last one connected to a apple cinema display 27' monitor and works like a charm). Same as seen in the photo.

i have 2 monitors hooked up - 1 through standard VGA and 1 through a DVI -> HDMI connector (the computer has an HDMI port). but they are old monitors, and it took a bit of doing to find the correct windows drivers. but it is doable.

No, there are 2 DVI and one HDMI. That said, they do come with a DVI -> HDMI converter. So while there aren't two HDMI ports, you do have the ability to drive two HDMI monitors.

no, you can get a special adapter and split the two monitors. it only has one hdmi port, no dvi or vga connections so if you want good resolution you need a graphics card with two ports i would recommend getting a dedicated graphics card with two ports,, if you split each monitor would be splitting up the resolution because it would be a single output stretched across two monitors, i use one and it works fine, and windows 8.1 comes preinstalled, dell and windows will automatically update it for you,, if you want Microsoft office you have to pay $70 for it and there's an app for that.

I don't remember how many monitors came with it, it's been awhile since I bought it. if I remember correctly, they offer a model with dual monitors. I have #2 extra ones for sale. Shoot me a fair price and your location for shipping, if you can only buy a unit with less monitors then you need...

I bought one yesterday, had one monitor in the DVI, one monitor running on the HDMI with the included HDMI/DVI adapter and the Surface Pro 2 monitor was also available. Just for kicks, I plugged an HMDI/Mini Display Port adapter into the port on the Surface Pro 2 and it also sent video to that screen. All said, I had 3 external monitors and the Surface display all running different things at the same time. All displays were at 1920 x 1080 resolution.

one dvi port serves for Y cables to support two monitors, the other supports one. Haven't tested it yet, but that's what the manual says

I have two 27 inch monitors and it works good for that.. I don't know if it supports three but I'm thinking you could hook up to your dvi and hdmi ports so you have a few ways of hooking up 3 monitors

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.

In addition to a HDMI port it also has DVI port. You can dual monitor HDMI with one DVI adapter/cable and an HDMI cable

So just to make sure: with my Mac Pro I can use my 29 inch with the regular HDMI out of my Mac Pro and then add 2 additional screens? So in total I have 3 screens, right? I have one regular PLUS 2 additional with this unit?

Yes, you can hook up two monitors at the same time. It has two HDMIs and one DVI.

Yes. It supports up to 4 monitors. But you have to use 2 DVI, 1 HDMI, and 1 Display Port. If you have 3 monitors with only DVI, one of them will need an adapter.

Yes, supports two monitors. I have 1 VGA and 2nd VGA connected via a dvi-i to VGA adapter. Dvi-d is the digital version on some cards that requires a more expensive active adapter.

This card can support 4 monitors, but you have to use the two DVIs, the display port, and HDMI ports to hook them up. I hope this helps!
