  Hello

  You have options:

  1. install a video card that supports two monitors. -> the best performance option

  2. use a video USB adapter/converter.   -> What are your needs of video connection? VGA, DVI orHDMI

  3. use a USB attachable monitor such as this AOC 16 "monitor.

  Option #1.

  Look here in HP Partsurfer for video cards that are used in the new Slimline models with a 220 Watt power supply.  These cards have been made specifically for the HP Slimline PC with a 220 watt power supply.

• Remote - two monitors desktop connection

  I try to use my two monitors with remote desktop connection.  I see the option under settings "to use all of my monitors with remote connection" but even when verified that it does not work.  How can I set up?

  I use windows 8, windows 8.1 do I need?

  There are a few conditions to use the split on multiple monitors.  Namely, both monitors must be exactly the same size and shape and must be positioned to form a perfect rectangle.

  Even 1 pixel difference means you cannot extend your remote desktop on them.

• Desktop HP Pavilion 550-A17C: two monitors with desktop HP Pavilion 550-A17C? (Graphics, AMD Radeon R5)

  Hello. My computer is a HP Pavilion Desktop 550 - A17C with AMD Radeon R5 (integrated) graphics card. Can he take charge of two monitors? I did everything I can think of, including searching the Internet for a number of hours for solutions. For the life of me I can't get the computer to detect the second monitor, when I have two connected monitors.

  I connect the main monitor with a VGA cable and the second with a DVI cable. The computer only has a VGA connector and a DVI connector. There is no HDMI port (serioulsly and I bought this computer as three months previously, as a refurb...) (Lol).

  What I want to do, is extend the display. My hardware is unable to conduct two screens? A USB video adapter solve the problem?

• a6040n desktop system - two monitors

  I would like to install a graphics card dual monitor to HP Pavilion a6040n desktop.  Does anyone have a recommendation?  I tried a quality mid-range card, but it did not work (changed the bios to use PCI_E and disabled the embedded video.  Any suggestions or directions would be appreciated.

  DSLFAN, welcome to the forum.

  The main problem you'll have is the power of the power supply unit (PSU).  It does not say in the specs, but I think it will be 250W or 300W.  If so, it is not enough power for a good mid-level video card that supports two monitors.  I normally recommend at least 500W to 550W.  That's enough to allow future improvements as well.  The main reason is that gives you more choices of cards.  When you install the video card, the embedded video should be disabled automatically.  It is not available when a card is installed.

  I like XFX, BFG, EVGA, Sapphire and PNY in that order.  You should stay less than 9 "long.  This ensures the card to insert in space without problems.  At this point, my preference is the AMD/ATI cards.  They have their Catalyst Control Center Suite that allows you to control the speed of the fan and overclock the card if you wish.  Don't forget, more speed equals more heat.  The map in the link I provided is a good example of what you need.  It does not have the power, but it will be at least 400W.  Read the reviews to see what they have to say.

• Two monitors on hp pavilion slimline s3700y pc desktop?

  I have a hp pavilion slimline s3700y desktop pc. is it possible that it can support two monitors?

  Here are the specifications of your desktop HP Pavilion Slimline s3700y. According to the specifications, the power plant is only valued at 160 watts, and there is no card graphics PCIe x 16 on the market which help the power supply to your computer.

  Depending on what you plan on both monitors, there may be several different options.

  (1) Day trading, word documents, spreadsheets and other... buy an adapter USB-to-video as the EVGA UV plus + UV19 or UV39.

  (2) game... not recommended

  (3) source (expensive) a bigger power supply (220 watts) and new graphics card for HP

  (4) source, a power more than athenapower.com (up to 350-400 watts) and a PCIe x 16 graphics card 'low - profile' another source.

• HP 110-210 desktop: HP 110-210 - is two monitors supported with this model?

  Hi all

  I was looking at to the top of the plug the graphics card, I have to this desktop computer, and it seems that both monitors are not supported. Can anyone confirm if this should be supported.

  Integrated graphics card is ATI Radeon 8330.

  I currently have 2 monitors. 1 DVI and 1 VGA monitor. I couldn't make them work together. I was planing to get a VGA to DVI monitor so I can dual screen but wanted to know if his support again.

  MSChmuty, welcome to the forum.

  Yes, it should work fine with two monitors.  Here's a guide that will help you make the connections.  Also, here is a USB 3.0 video adapter that will allow you to use one of the USB 3.0 ports on the back of the computer to connect a DVI - D monitor.  That would give you a better picture.  You can talk with the Service the customer of StarTech to determine where one of their adapters would be best for your situation.

• Two monitors on a Pavilion 500-307 x Desktop

  I just bought a Pavilion 500-307 x Desktop and the need to run two monitors.

  The monitors have taken VGA. A monitor works fine via the VGA - DVI adapter, however attach a 2-to-1 VGA cable to the card does not work.

  Is it possible to buy a second DVI port or is there another solution?

  Sorry, I did not notice that your computer has a factory installed discrete video card. Discreet card is as follows:

  NVIDIA GeForce GT 720
  DVI (dual-link) resolution: 2560 x 1600 x 32bpp at 60 Hz
  HDMI resolution: 1920 x 1080
  VGA (via dongle) analog resolution: 2048 x 1536 x 32bpp at 60 Hz
  Support of up to two displays at the same time.

  On this basis, there are a number of ways to connect monitors to your computer. The discrete card supports DVI - D (and VGA via a dongle) and HDMI. HDMI signal is the same as DVI - D in this case.

  BETTER (recommended)

  Computer-->--> #1 monitor DVI - D cable

  --> HDMI Cable DVI - D computer--> monitor #2

  GOOD

  --> HDMI Cable DVI - D computer--> monitor #1

  Computer--> DVI - D to VGA dongle--> VGA cable--> Monitor #2

  If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

• Double desktop screen "stacked" on first office on a single monitor after using two monitors Netflix to the TV

  My computer kept crashing after I had hung a dual monitor.  The second monitor was my television, playing a Netflix movie while I also used my computer to work on.  After splitting the two, I kept crashing for a few days.  I tried to delete the second monitor in the display settings, but does not know how to do this, if it's possible, but I think it's the problem and the cause of the double view of the desktop on my computer now.

  Does anyone know how to confirm what the problem is for some, and/or instructions how to solve this problem if you already know what can cause this problem.  No assistance at all would be greatly appreciated.  I tried to understand this two days...

• Choice of a model of desktop Inspiron for two monitors

  I didn't keep on computer hardware for some time and I found myself completely confused now that I'm looking to choose a new system that will support two monitors. It seemed simple at first, but now I'm a little worried that I'm missing something.

  In any case...

  I am looking to buy a desktop Inspiron model relatively inexpensive which allows two monitors. What should I look for to confirm the system that I'm looking will support two monitors? At first I thought that I would need to have a discreet graphics as opposed to something like the graphics card intel integrated, but some of the things I've seen seem to indicate the onboard graphics on some of the tips Intel will do what I need.

  I would mainly use for extended desktop just to be able to open MS Excel on both screens, but sometimes I wish I could watch my DIRECTV on one of the monitors (probably by logging into my DIRECTV account, as I do sometimes on my laptop).

  Hoping someone can give me an idea here.

  Thanks in advance!

  No, I don't say that all Intel adapters will work. The link I gave was a particular model Inspiron. Apparently the web page changed, because when I went back to it, the page was different.

  You buy a system with a card video of at least one of the monitors. Or, if you really want a cheap system, you can buy one that has only the onboard video and then separately purchase a USB > {video) dongle where {video} matches at least one port on the second monitor, for example USB > HDMI.}

• Can I connect two monitors desktop Dell Inspiron i660-5041BK?

  I am looking to buy desktop Inspiron i660-5041BK but need to connect two monitors to it.  I think I can with the HDMI and the regular monitor port.  What do you think?

  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.
