I was able to accomplish this with the same PC. I used a DVI adapter for the second monitor.

The ports such as the VGA one are for the motherboard, and the display is set by default to run from the graphics card, you will need to use the ports of the graphics card only.

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.

I'm running two monitors on it right now. Just be aware, there is one VGA port and one DVI port available with the onboard setup, so if you are wanting to run dual DVI monitors, you'll need an additional video card. If you're fine with one on VGA and one on DVI, you're good to go out of the box.

What's your OS ?if win7 it'll be:control panel>appearance and personalization>display>screen resolution then click on "multiple displays" and select your option: show desktop only on monitor 1, only on monitor 2, duplicate these displays, extend these displaysworks for me.

It has only one DVI and VGA Port. May you can think of some spiliters and connect two sources! I have not done it.

Hello, I have hp pavilion , you should be able to use your VGA cable as I didn't have to buy another cable. Just use cable that comes with monitor.

I don't think the adapter has anything to do with this, it is dependent on your video card and/or computer. But in my case I am able to extend the desktop to my second monitor. Replicate is also an option.

I run dual monitors all the time with no problems. The card has a DVI, HDMI, and a VGA port. You can also use the second monitor or the standard graphics from your mother board.

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.

Look to see if your computer has two outputs. Some computers have an integrated video card or a modular one. The outputs are from the video card. Basically to support dual monitors you must have dual outputs like two DVI, HDMI, VGA, Display Port. You can also use adapters to convert the signal from one source to the next. Google "Video outputs" and you will see the different outputs I am talking about. Hope this helps. Call me if you need to talk. Mike Tel 305-788-1269

The answer is yes you can use multiple monitors with this video card. on the video card there's an VGA, HDMI , and a DVI connector. even if you use up 1 of those 3 ports on the back of the card there are adapters that you can get for your monitor cable to the back of the other port on the video card. Also 1 of the best multi monitor programs out there is called: display fusion pro. Windows 7 does support dual monitors but display fusion pro ados a whole lot more features to it.

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.

Well, I installed one and have another one coming and hooked up two monitors to the one (via HDMI and Mini-Display Port) and image comes on the monitor so it has to have a video processor built in.Keep in mind this is a mini PC so there's not a whole lot of room for additional hardware. My guess the video is embedded in the motherboard.If you're looking for a high-end gaming PC then this is not a good choice.

Yes...this is exactly what I did. I already had one monitor hooked up to my pc with a regular vga cable. I wanted to add a second monitor and the only video port I had left on my pc was an hdmi port. So I plugged the hdmi end of this adaptor into the back of the pc and attached the vga cable of the second monitor to vga side of this adaptor...so far, it works perfectly and both monitors work. Hope this helps.

Yes this will allow you to add an additional monitor to your system. I use. 2 of these on my laptop plus the onboard VGA adapter to run 4 monitors

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.

Just make sure the "Desktop" is moved to the secondary(touch) monitor.... right click on desktop and select "screen resolution" with the touch screen already plugged in first.... just make sure the "desktop" is moved to the touch monitor... It takes playing with it a few times.....
