    Hello

    No, it's not possible to connect two external monitors.
    If you want to split the screen, you can use the extended desktop option.
    In display properties, you will find the option to extend my desktop on this monitor. You must select the second monitor and activate this option.

    Tuna, no.  Should upgrade you to a dedicated with two video ports video card (1 VGA port, 1 DVI or DVI 2).  According to the use of the computer, the video card may require an upgrade of the power supply, also.

    Can I connect two monitors to a PC Tower?

    Yes, you can connect two monitors to a PC Tower... but your PC should have several outputs that are concomitant supported and your monitors must have matching entries to make it work. If your system does not support multiple and simultaneous outputs there are other options to solve this problem.

    I would like to connect two monitors to this laptop. The laptop has: 1-HDMI; 1 VGA.

    This seems to be a slam dunk, it's not. They put the VGA and HDMI so close together that I can't connect both at the same time. It's as if they force the VGA or HDMI. I am a general contractor and need two monitors if possible. I look at work photos on an all in utiizing a drawing program to produce plans of work on another.  There are 1/4 "between the VGA and HDMI imput plugs I would have been Golden, but they did not. Can anyone suggest a way to get these two monitors plugged and upward and running.

  • Dell XPS 8500 with 1 GB AMD Radeon HD 7570 - how to connect two monitors or?

    Hi, I got my Dell XPS 8500 today with the 1 GB AMD Radeon HD 7570.

    Before buying the office, I read online that the AMD Radeon HD 7570 supports Eyefinity.   Eyefinity is supposed to be capable of supporting 4 monitors using the HD 7570 map by the description here: http://www.amd.com/us/products/desktop/graphics/7000/7570/Pages/radeon-7570.aspx#2

    When you look at the photos of the Dell XPS 8500 online I thought that Eyefinity support was to use a display in addition to the DVI port Port.   Specifically, I thought that a monitor has been supported by DVI monitors while 4 thru two supported using an active connection to the view port using a product like the DisplayPort Accell UltraAV K087B-005 / 3 x multi-monitor DVI - D single-link adapter.

    To my surprise the graphics card came with an HDMI port, not a display port and I believe that HDMI port is a connection from one to the other, and not one of many display connection.   Maybe someone can correct me if I am wrong on this point.   But if I'm not wrong then, this would imply that, at most, the Dell XPS 8500 with the AMD Radeon HD card 7570 can support up to only 2 monitors (one DVI port) and the other HDMI port instead of 4 monitors as described on the above link.

    Others would agree with this statement?

    Note that the Dell XPS 8500 also has a VGA connector on it but I tested it using a monitor on VGA and a monitor on the DVI connection and the computer that reported as an invalid monitor config.   Probably because the VGA and DVI connections are originally the same video display as connect two monitors to display even has no logical sense.

    I have not tested the HDMI port for the second monitor again mainly because I don't have a spare HDMI cable on site at the present time.   I'll probably buy one tomorrow unless I see the comments of my post, specifying that a second monitor can be moved through the HDMI port on the AMD Radeon HD 7570 map...   I'd be surprised if that were the case (1 monitor system would be quite restrictive), but it is difficult to say with certainty, because the VGA and DVI connections at the same time have been marked by the computer as an invalid configuration...

    Any thoughts on the different ways to configure multiple monitors with the XPS 8500 and the 1 GB AMD Radeon HD 7500 is appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Doug

    If the card is not a display port is not an eyefinity card and cannot stand 3 monitors... it will be 2 monitors, no problem... I couldn't find anywhere on the site of Dell, where he says that the card was eyefinity... If you want 3 assumption of monitors you can buy a video card that supports.

    Can use something like this HERE, or HERE, but it would be better to put a map, where you will have a better choice of connectors. I that you intend to use the HDMI, then you will need a something similar to what I proposed to make it work.

  • Need a graphics card to connect two monitors.

    Is AMD CrossfireX and Nvidia SLI is the only way to connect two VGA?

    Original title: graphics card...

    It is not no need SLI or XFire to connect two monitors. SLI and XFire are mainly to
    improve performance by connecting the two cards together.
    SLI, to have the same model of card when you use Nvidia IE - two GTX560ti, but apparently, you can use different templates with XFire as long as they use the same gpu (it's because they sometimes "re-brand" a gpu a series on a new map in the following series).

    You can connect two monitors to a card and run games on two monitors, but the seam in the
    Middle is a problem, so it is really best to go three monitors or a larger screen.
    You can also run a game on one monitor and have something to open on the other.
    This can also be done with two cards of different model that are not related (Nvidia or ATI).
    or your integrated graphics, if you and a single graphics card.
    You can also use both outputs of an integrated graphics card to perform the duties of Office Basic
    two monitors.

    To use a combination of graphics card integrated on my machine, I have to set the graphic option and dedicated North Bridge in the BIOS to "Onboard" or the integrated graphics card will not work.
    Also, when you use a single monitor I have to choose one or the other in the BIOS as only won't work
    at the same time when you use a single monitor.  It may be different on your system.

    There are different ways to use two monitors and the Setup is different between Nvidia and ATI.
    I've only played with Nvidia, ATI and Intel HD4000 options, so cannot really elaborate on
    the installation options.
    It is probably better to play with the settings of your cards some time control panel to
    get an idea of what is what and try again forum of the mfg graphics card for more details.

  • Slow refresh rate using a D3100 connect two monitors U2311H

    Hello

    I have a macbook pro 2016 and bought the Dell D3100 triple display USB adapter to use with it. The two monitors are connected to DVI using adapters connected to the displayport and hdmi ports. I installed the latest drivers from displaylink for El Capitan on the computer and plugged the dock on USB 3.0. The two monitors work. However, they all seem to have some considerable delay. Testufo indicates that they are both running at 60 Hz (as well as the display settings), but movement seems choppy and fuzzy, akin to 30 hz, but maybe a little better.

    I read that it would be able to run monitors 1080 at 60 Hz with little trouble. Is there something I am doing wrong?

    Thank you

    We didn't test the D3100 on Apple hardware or software is a big unknown.


    The slow refresh rate tells us that they're not really running at 60 Hz.

    The U2311H has the following ports video =.
    DP 1920 x 1080 60 Hz
    DVI 1920 x 1080 60 Hz
    VGA 1920 x 1080 60 Hz

    The D3100's video next ports =.
    Display Port 1.1 = 3840 x 2160 30 Hz, 1920 x 1080 60 Hz
    HDMI 1.4 = 2560 x 1440-50 Hz

    So the U2311H using DP 1. 1 a/DVI should be 60 Hz. The other at 50 Hz. But how the Apple operating system is to see these is unknown. You must post on the Apple Forum of Discussions and see if they can offer an overview or troubleshooting steps.

  • Cannot connect two monitors

    For three years, I was able to have two monitors connected using Windows 7. Recently, I tried the upgrade to Windows 8 without success and returned to Windows 7. Now I am unable to get my monitors to work together. I watched the videos here to help me, but I'm unable to drag the pages or even my cursor

    for the second monitor. The connections at the back of the computer appear to be correct. The second monitor is suited with a VGA cable for the connection.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello Joseph,.

    Thanks for posting your question on the Forum of the Microsoft community.

    I would be grateful if you can provide us with the following information to determine the root cause of the problem.

    1. What is the number and model of your computer and the graphics card?

    2. Have you tried to monitor primary as secondary and vice versa?

    3. All device drivers are updated?

    Windows can detect automatically that an additional screen. If you connect two or more monitors, you must manually designate the primary display, arrange your desktop, and apply display settings, such as color depth and screen resolution. So, the next time that you connect these monitors, Windows automatically identifies the primary display and applies the settings that you previously specified for each additional display.

    Try the methods mentioned below and see if it helps.

    Method 1

    If you haven't tried Exchange monitors so I suggest you to try and see if the problem still occurs.

    To change the settings of two monitors you can consult the links below:

    Guided Help: Setup dual monitor is easy in Windows 7!

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/change-display-settings-on-multiple-monitors

    Note: This link is also applicable for Windows 7 .

    Method 2

    If the problem persists I suggest you to update the display drivers. As the display drivers for two monitors are not the same, so try to update and check the status.

    Updated a hardware driver that is not working properly
