No this will not work. I ended up actually buying a dual video card it works so much better

I wasted my money on these, they did not work for me the vga side was OK but the DVI-d did not match up with my plug I guess mine is a DVI-(a, or b, or c, or z, or sum other letter other than d) If it will plug in it might work, sorry I can't be more help.

DVI-D is digital and will not work if you have and old analog monitor but will if you have and LCD monitor ( flat screen thats HD ) some of the old LCDs are analog.DVI-D is digital only as per the 'D'. DVI-I is integrated as per the 'I' If you look at the DVI-I connnector, it has 4 pins around the flat blade looking pin. Those 4 pins are the analog signal. DVI-D connector is missing those pins so a simple adapter will not work as the analog signal is missing. The signal converter will most likely cost more than a HD LCD monitor. Hope this helps.

Theoretically yes, and I have done it in the past. However with this unit I haven't been able to get it to work. It is a new setup and monitor though so I may be my issue.

This monitor will connect to a tower with a VGA connector only. Hope this helps!

there is a VGA, DVI and HDMI port in this desktop. I have a monitor with VGA, DVI, and HDMI port. It works good with VGA port, I have not tried DVI port, I tried HDMI port but that did not work.

You are correct, plug the adapter into your Graphics Card and then use your own DVI cable. Please be aware that this adapter will not work for monitors that require Dual-Link bandwidth (120hz+ monitors, or resolutions above 1920x1200).

Does the monitor work? Are you connecting it were another monitor was already connected? Already mentioned but is the monitor set to the right port? If you have more then just a new monitor you need to eliminate everything that is different in your new setup. Have you used the display port before? Is this a new cable? You already said the monitor was new.

This desktop has a vga and a hdmi port. Since both are on an integrated video card I believed it will not run dual monitors its and either or situation

I have both HDMI and VGA connections on my HDTV, but the VGA didn't work until I bought a VGA/HDMI converter box. They're not expensive (mine was $10) I have an older Dell tower that's been refurbished but didn't have the HDMI connection, so the converter box was an inexpensive way to go.

Only if you have the DMS-59 connector, its Wider by 1/4 of an inch then DVI. If you have a DVI then NO!. You will need another splitter for DVI to 2x VGA. see http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords;=DVI+to+2x+VGA

This device converts from Display Port to Digital Video, DVI. It will not help your VGA issue unless you add a DVI to VGA adapter.

Edited answer: Monitor is VGA, no this will not work. HDMI and DVI are both digital signals. VGA is analog. DVI carries additional VGA pins that can be adapted to VGA, but those pins to not exist in a VGA header. You need a specialty adapter or a DVI/HDMI capable monitor for this to work.

Pretty sure this model is DVI out - that is the HDMI variant, not the VGA variant. If you have a DVI to VGA adaptor it will work, but if you don't have an HDMI monitor you should start there instead.

The back of the tower has one hdmi port, and one vga port. I hooked up dual monitors (both the same) using an hdmi to vga adapter. I suppose you can hook up anything as long as you can find an adapter to make the second port work.

If your machine has a dvi port you can split it with a dvi to two vga connector. If not you will have to get a different video card. You could also call tech support from where you got it they will help you.

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.

Greetings friend Russell P. works like this: The Vga and DVI is a single output (choose one of the two) is the second hdmi output independent and if you need three monitors must install a pci express card which should override the integrated hdmi to activate the card itself if you need analog TV output you'd have to get you one of the 8400 series that bring that out OK. Saludos amigo Russell P. funciona asi: El Vga y el DVI es una sola salida (escoges uno de los dos) el hdmi es la segunda salida independiente y si necesitas tres monitores debes instalar una tarjeta pci express la cual debera anular el hdmi integrado para poder activar el de la propia tarjeta, si necesitas salida TV analogica tendras que buscarte una de la serie 8400 que traen el esa salida OK.
