Can you hook a 2nd monitor to this machine and, if so, what connector is required? Thanks!

I don't see a way to do that unless you have a monitor that could connect with a USB port. Other than that, I love my new computer! I've had it since mid-August.

It does not come with dual monitor capability. You will need to add a low profile DMS59 video card and then can connect two monitors using VGA or DVI splitter cable.

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.

Can it connect to a VGA connector, you ask? Why, yes it does--a DVI to VGA adaptor is included. See this page http://hothardware.com/Reviews/NVIDIA-GeForce-GTX-650-Ti-BOOST-Review/?page=2 for the specifics. It only comes with one, so you'll have to go find a second one if you plan to run two VGA style monitors from this hardware.

You are correct, this box only boosts and splits the identical output to 2 monitors. If you want to EXTEND your desktop to a second or third monitor, and your equipment doesn't already have a dual monitor video card (or if it is a laptop), then you need a device like the Plugable (brand) devices found on Amazon, which are USB to VGA/DVI/HDMI Adapters. There are at least 3 different models, one for USB 2.0 and one for USB 3.0, at various max resolutions and prices. Hope this helps!

Yes, I currently have two monitors hooked up to my computer. We have 2 DVI hooked up by using a DVI adaptor on the VGA output.

Yes, I have two monitors hooked up to the computer now and they work great.For best results (at least for me) get a monitor with HDMI capacity. There isan HDMI port in the back of the computer. Only one can hook up with that, but it all depends on the quality of the monitor you purchase. The graphics are excellent. One monitor hooks up with the HDMI port, the other with a VGA cable cord.

If what you mean is..Is there a another port for a monitor?..Then YES, there is a VGA port as well. I use it for my monitor. Im loving this little computer - so far so good

No, you need a special 3rd party adapter. Other monitors offer VESA adapter out of box while this does not.

No, this cable is for use with TrendNet KVM Switch. It is not to directly connect the computer to another monitor.

Yes you can. That is exactly my setup at work. You could also hdmi out to another independent monitor and usb out to another if you wanted. Thanks rMBP!

As far as what I have read on another site it can support 2 but for the third monitor you would need an adapter.hope this helps.

You can have two monitors connected without needing any other hardware. One connected to the VGA port and the second to the HDMI port. Both VGA and HDMI are active in the default configuration.

Your laptop should have an analog vga 9 pin plug or an hdmi port for one monitor. You would only need one of these adapters for the second screen.

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.

I am not using the adapter for that purpose. My need was to connect a second monitor to my desktop and it works perfectly. Installation was easy, plug the monitor cable into the adapter and plug the adaptor to the DVI port on the computer. Done, now have two monitors.

Yes, easily. You need no special cables or software, just a video card with 2 outputs. If a video card has 2 outputs, the normal drivers will support 2 monitors.
