The use of two external monitors on XPS L702X

Hello

I have laptop Dell XPS L702X and you want to connect two monitors external to it when I'm at my desk.  The laptop has a HDMI and display Port.  Could someone tell me 1) if it is possible to connect two external monitors to my laptop.  I do not know if this is supported.  (2) if it is supported what would be the best way to do it.  Here are some of my thoughts, but I don't know if they will work

(1) port HDMI to a monitor and Display Port to the other monitor.  It will even work?  The monitors will look the same?

(2) HDMI to DVI Splitter.  This seems reasonable but it will reflect the entire screen or I will be able to extend the desktop.  I don't want to see the same thing on both monitors.  Will also be this gradient.  I was kind of hoping it Full HD that I don't need absolutely.

(3) using the HDMI then gettting and external USB video card.  I'd rather not but if I have to I guess I do.

Thanks for your thoughts and please add more options than what I have just listed.   I want to find the optimal solution.

Well I thought about it.  Option #1 work.  You can connect two monitors to the Dell XPS L702X.  In fact, I have three.

(1) the computer screen

(2) monitor 1 using the HDMI output on laptop to the HDMI input on the monitor

(3) 2 of Montor output using Mini Display Port to VGA input on screen (using a Mini Display Port to VGA cable) I see these cables everywhere on the internet, but they all say to use with Mac.  I call the Dell technical support and they managed to send me the right cable for use with Dell.  Others may work, however, I'm not sure.  It is unfortunate that Dell doesn't have a Mini Display Port to DVI - D.  I want conversion back VGA is going back in time.  The display seems perfect for a regular job but don't know about the movies or games.

Complaints to Dell if someone he cares

(1) I called your sales for the purchase of monitors line and they told me wrong information on how to connect monitors and those to buy.  First, they said I had to buy a usb docking station.  The station costs around $100 and it would very definitely degrade the display.  I have the hdmi and display port of course so I want to use them.  When I pressed on this they then tried to get to buy me and switch hdmi for over $ 150.  I personally do not think it will work because I want to extend my screen do not have the same result on both.  Maybe it would work well, they seem not confident even though I was told it would work.  Also, I didn't drop $150 extra.  So I don't end up buy monitors dell of Dell because of the wrong information.  Oh they also told me I wouldn't be able to have 3 views using my video card and that I would need an external. (Evil)  Overall that's mad and I lost a lot of time trying to do a simple task of connecting monitors.

(2) I finally decided to call Dell technical support.  I should have done this earlier, but every time I call the technical support they want me to pay.  Fortunately I get assistance for a new computer.  I'm starting to feel better Dell again.  Technical support told me that I could connect two monitors using HDMI and Display Port.   They me even a cable for the display port.  OK, I'm getting happier.  However, technical support also told me that I couldn't use 3 screens and that I would need an external video card.  They tried to repel the horribly rated usb docking station that they sell.  In all of the right specifications mine but reviews everyone has problems.  Anyway they Support went above and beyond (and I was not screaming or complain to them) that they actually had a technician out the cable.  Now, it is an exaggeration, but was really nice, because I was not happy with Dell for the moment.  I hooked the two monitors and extended my screen and to my surprise, all three screens worked.  Yahoo!  So happy.

It was a frustrating race with bad information throughout, but ultimately, I'm happy.  I hope that you don't have to go through my frustration and make just the satisfaction of having 3 screens.

  • How to use two external monitors with my laptop?

    I have a new Pavilion dm4-301 d cl Entertainment PC.   My OS is Windows 7.   I'm used to using two external monitors with a docking station.   This new laptop lacks a docking station.  What should I do use two external monitors?

    Certainly not without a dock, but even with laptop HP well enough docks limit you to one of the ports on the external monitor, even if there are two on the dock. We used a device called an Atlona AT-HDPIX2 which is a USB to hdmi adapter. It provides a feature of third monitor for a laptop... use the native external port of the screen and the computer screen internal, then this device gives a third control that is fully configurable to display Windows 7 interface... clone, extend, etc.. It allows a full HD resolution and is pretty responsive for games even light.  HP does not have any true docking station for your laptop.

  • The two external monitors show the same screen

    original title: using 2 external monitors on a laptop using Dynadock U10 problems

    Hi guys,.

    I try to use two external monitors using my a Dynadock U10..., I bought because it says you can use two external monitors with it!

    I installed the drivers for Displaylink etc.

    I plugged both monitors to the Dynadock (one via the VGA input) and one through DVI. When I have my laptop open it using cell phone as main screen and extends the office to both monitors, but both monitors have the same screen. If I identify screens, the laptop screen is 1 'and the monitors are the two 3'.

    If I close the laptop (I put the settings to not do anything if the lid is closed) and select my monitor as the main screen, they still both have the same image and the settins wont let me go to another screen. If I identify the screens, the two screens are developed under the number "1".

    I use Windows Vista. My laptop graphics card is "ATI Radeon 3100 Graphics"

    Any help would be appreciated!

    See you soon,.

    Your video card is not serious with this home solution 'USB '.

    Toshiba is your point of contact.

    However - to answer your question - as much as I know you cannot do what you are trying to do.  You can use both outputs monitor, but the results you see are what you would expect.

    * Hi-speed III Port Replicator is not an option, because it is not available in my country (Croatia).

    Hello

    I don t think you will be able to connect two external monitors to this laptop using HDMI and RGB port at the same time because of different types of signals.

    The RGB/VGA port supports analog signal.

    The HDMI port provides the digital video output and when the external monitor is connected to the HDMI port the device is set to HDMI.

  • Portege Z30 - need to extend the display on two external displays

    Hi all

    I'm running Bloomberg and need the image to extend on the screens LCD HD complete two 24 ". Including my current laptop's built-in display, I use three panels at the same time. I can do with the Z30 1 CZ? Should I buy a docking station for that?

    Right now I use a ultrabook from another manufacturer but I'm not satisfied with the reasons that have nothing to do with the display. Currently, I use a docking station, where a screen connects by DVI and one VGA cable.

    Can I use the VGA and HDMI from laptop ports to get the same solution with the Z30?
    Best wishes
    Peter

    To my knowledge the display function depends on the graphics card/chip.

    Usually, you can use a VGA or HDMI output.
    VGA (RGB) port provides analog, HDMI provides digital signals, and as far as I know, you can't use both at the same time

    However, you could buy a "hdmi adapter usb adapter allowing you to use two external monitors simultaneously.

  • Tecra A9 and express port replicator - two external monitors

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Tecra A9 laptop and a Toshiba express port replicator, the Replicator has two outputs DVI & VGA, but I just can't seam to allow them both to use my funds rather than 1 desktop computer screens and the screen of the laptop.

    Is this possible?

    See you soon

    Ash.

    As far as I know that something like this is not possible. The video signal may not be spited and sent to two video output ports. If you want to use two external monitors, you need an additional video source as Toshiba Dynadock or another solution.

  • Re: Can I connect two external monitors to my Tecra M7?

    I have a Tecra M7, I would put up two external monitors. I install one on the VGA port and one DVI port and I try to extend the monitor overall, but the only option I have is to an external monitor and the screen of the tablet itself.

    Anyone have any ideas on how to solve this problem?

    As far as I know that something like this is not possible. Graphics card can send the signal on a port only, VGA or DVI.
    If you want to use two external monitors, you need an external device, such as Toshiba Dynadock (docking station USB with VGA or DVI port). Using the docking station, you will have three monitors shown in display properties. We will be connected directly to the laptop and the second on this docking station.

  • Two external monitors for HP Pavilion dv6

    Is it possible to configure my laptop Pavilion dv6 to take charge of two external monitors?  It does not resemble a connection docking station on the bottom of the laptop

    I am writing just this note using my HP Pavilion dv6 (AMD A8), and I use two Samsung 27 "external displays, a Samsung 2770hd (HDMI output) and a Samsung SyncMaster T260 * w/VGA DVI cable).

    I use the HDMI and the VGA output of my HP laptop. Adapt the VGA connector, I used a dremel cutting tool to easily remove a side area plastic of the connector. It was very easy and I had to do it because my VGA connector was too big and it wouldn't let me put the connector hdmi beside him.

    Otherwise, it works great.  I could use resolution 1900 x 1200, but one of my monitors (VGA) only has a resolution of 1900 x 1080, so I have both at this resolution.

    This machine is faster than my older HP desktop computer and occupies all the space... Very nice work AMD... !!!  I love this machine can use the integrated and discrete GPUS using crossfire...
