Would this monitor require a second video card on a desktop?

if this is a second monitor (meaning you already have one connected to the computer), then you would need a video card with dual video output. If you look on the back of the computer, see where the video cable is plugged in - try to see if there is a second connector that looks just like it. If you don't have a dual video card adapter, then you would need a new video card.

Yes. You'll need to connect it with a USB 3.0 Cable since there is only one monitor port.

Yes, you can. It has supported two monitors. There are vga, dvi, and hdmi ports on the card.

not without a video card. the guy at geek squad told me not to waste my money (which was too late). Apparently it's a very complicated (and spendy) project to install a video card onto the new laptops. I ended up buying a new monitor that had both VGA and HDMI ports and gave my one-year old VGA port-only monitor to my mom.

Yes, the card does support dual monitors, however, I do not recommend this card at all. I am currently in the process of trying to get a replacement from the manufacturer as the card overheats, making a loud noise constantly.

The computer does have both VGA and HDMI ports but not sure whether both monitirs can be used simultaneously.

You can use the display port and the DVI ports at the same time. You will just need to change your display setting in order to get the second monitor to display on your desktop.

No. This will show the same thing on both screens. You need a video card with dual outputs to do what you want.

I have dual monitors on mine.. it has the radeon card in the machine and the other monitor runs on the onboard chip

I doubt it. I used to add a 2nd & 3rd monitor. You might contact Diamond to confirm.

Yes it will support it I believe but you will need to install a new GPU that supports dual monitors. Be careful that you don't buy a card that needs more power than your power supply can handle since the power supply is on 300W I think. I am guessing either a 256 or 512 will work fine.

No, this card is a 2 head card. For three monitors you would require a2 separate card with at least 2 video heads on 1 card. There are some cards on the market that have several heads VIA cables.

I cant give you a solid yes but i can say that ive never found a video card that wont support any monitors ive thrown at it. Plus this is a newer card so i would say yes but no guarantees. From what i can tell all video cards on the medium end support all monitors maybe every video card does. However best thing to do is google it. Ive never had a issue with a video card not supporting a monitor and i build computers a ton.

Yes - one must be VGA and the other digital. You can also run one monitor of either input type.

Yes, but remember each will get a piece of the processing power from the GPU. It is better to run a video card for the these purposes. You can get a decent mid range card for under a hundred bucks. Another consideration is that unless you lower the resolution on HDMI and DVI to that of VGA, your resolution will be inconsistent. This is very annoying when trying to work with multiple screens.

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

no without additional hardware. it can handle 1 extra monitor out of the box
