Two monitors on a Pavilion a1730n?

I have an a1730n who began life running Vista. He is now running 8.1 update very happy and is used every day. He worked a HP using Nvidia monitor on board. Recently got a Dell monitor. Tried to run two monitors. Installed a Nvidia geforce in a PCI slot and plugged into the monitor. At the start, monitor and not seen a card. Main monitor restarted, changed in the PCI BIOS and the new card and monitor recognized and installed, however, old one was gone. A new bios modified for onboard as primary and old works, disappeared. Doesn't look like there are updates to the bios. Hope it works?

P.s., monitors market video outputs. The position of the monitor is not serious.

They must both be connected to the discrete video card, since you cannot use the integrated video port.  You will need to use an adapter (such as DVI/VGA) to connect the second monitor if they are all two VGA monitors.

Here's a guide that should help you connect two monitors.

  • two monitors for HP Pavilion 500-007 a

    I am considering buying desktop HP Pavilion 500-007 a little time. I already have two monitors TeamViewer, two support DVI - I and VGA I'm running just one of the monitors on a HP Pavilion dv7 laptop (laptop current ongoing died after 3 years continuous use).  The current system gives me two monitors to view, computer laptop 17 '' monitor and the Samsung 24 "monitor. I have also a 19 '' Samsung monitor with the same characteristics as the 24 "monitor.

    I want to know if I can use both monitors Samsung on the new office at the same time with good results.

    Both monitors have no HDMI, only DVI - I and VGA connections.

    The new system, I would like to start the monitor 24 "using the DVI - I format and the same thing with a 19" monitor, but the specs of the 500-007 a give only 1 DVI-I have the graphics card or via a connection through HDMI, and then on the motherboard, it shows a VGA port.

    What is the best: run 24 '' via DVI - I and the 19 "via VGA or execution 24" via DVI - I and get a DVI - I to HDMI converstion and run two monitors to the graphics card, or alternatively the 24 "on DVI - I and 19" on VGA.

    I use photoshop for photo editing, as I do a lot of photography work. Videos etc are not a primary, or games, but as also older in order to use the 24 "to better on Visual acuity.

    Thanks Ailsa

    This is the original factory specifications for the desktop HP Pavilion 500-007 a. According to the specification, this model has an AMD Radeon HD 8570 discrete graphics card that supports the use of two simultaneous displays. That this computer is equipped with a discreet graphics card, the video ports on-board integrated are disabled. The AMD Radeon HD 8570 graphics card has a HDMI and DVI - I output and can take care of two digital monitors or a digital and an analog monitor. The supported formats are HDMI, DVI - D and VGA (via a dongle, DVI / VGA).

    Please provide the model number of monitors you want to use with this computer. Two additional DVI - D and VGA monitors as you have indicated, here are some of the possible combinations of connection supported;

    BEST

    Computer > DVI - D cable > monitor

    Technology > cable HDMI-DVI or adapter > monitor

    or

    GOOD

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Connect two monitors on HP Pavilion a6030n

    My office was purchased in 2007 and has the onboard nVidia GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 graphics. Is it possible to connect two monitors to this system?  There is only a single RGB connector on the back which is connected to my flat screen HP vp17 monitor.

    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.

  • Two monitors on a Pavilion 23-b320

    I'm about to buy a 23-B320 Pavilion all-in-one and you want to know if anyone knows if you can add a second monitor to it. It doesn't have the port on the back for a second monitor, but I've heard that you can get a special cable that will allow you to turn a USB port into a video port... Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Hi Tronn42,

    You are right. You can use a converter USB to DVI (or VGA, or HDMI) video port to run on a second monitor. I did not flag 23 precisely, but he's worked on all all-in-one PC, I tried it on.

    For example, here are some converters DVI USB:

  • 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?

    Thank you

    @AFL2016, welcome to the forum.

  • Do I have reason to infer that I can't get two monitors running on my HP Pavilion Elite HPE - 410 t?

    I got the Pavilion Elite HPE - 410 t with the included nVidia GeForce 315 graphics card and tried to get two monitors put in place. I have two VGA screens and I run one of them off the coast of DVI using a VGA port to DVI, and it works fine. However, I can not all signals from the built-in VGA port, so I started to look around the site of HP. I came across a page that lists the motherboard Plug and he shouted that the embedded video is not available if a graphics card is installed.

    Thus, it seems that I am out of luck, but I just wanted to see if anyone could tell me if it is maybe something obvious that I'm missing. My nVidia monitors also has an HDMI port, but I understand that I would need a HDMI monitor to be able to use this port.

    Can someone let me know if I'm wrong in my understanding of my options, or if there is an easy solution?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Yes, you are right to assume that if you have a video card installed, the integrated graphics chip is disabled.  Looking at the specifications of your card (see link below), he suggests that it has a VGA, DVI and HDMI connection.  However, I realize that these specifications vary and may not apply to the card that you have.

    NVIDIA GeForce 315

    If yours doesn't have the VGA adapter, then your also had reason to assume need you a monitor with an entry in order to use 2 monitors HDMI.

    Kind regards

  • Two monitors of Pavilion P6610f

    A previous post on this topic left unanswered question of the user.    I have a Pavilion p6610f product #BM417AA #ABA.  Given that this machine has both a output VGA AND DVI output, it is possible to have TWO monitors (working simultaneously) provided that a monitor is analog (VGA) and the other monitor is digital (DVI)?  I didn't "want to go to the load of the material, if only one of the two monitors can be used at a time.  Thank you.

    The chipset on the motherboard is able to handle two monitors. And I found this on the motherboard page: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02560084

    Integrated graphics: concomitant use of DVI and VGA ports is supported.

    So, Yes, it seems to support the two ports.

    YES, the white cover means that the port / ports are not available. Most HP consumer computers automatically disable the onboard graphics when a x 16 PCIe graphics card is installed

    2.i have also a port HDMI as part of the NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT can I use that and the port DVI on NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT to have two monitors?

    Yes, you can use the HDMI and DVI-channels simultaneously to support two monitors. Here are the specifications of your desktop HP Pavilion Elite m9060n. According to the specifications;

    1 - S - video *.
    2 HDMI
    3 - DVI - I (dual link) *.

    Supports two displays at the same time

    According to observers, you may be able to use your current configuration to drive two displays. You can use two HDMI screens with a HDMI and a DVI-HDMI cable. You can use two monitors DVI - D DVI cable with a DVI-HDMI cable. You can also use a monitor VGA and HDMI or DVI - D and VGA monitor with appropriate adapters and/or cable. Please provide the brand and models of two monitors for most accurate response.

  • HP Pavilion Elite HPE-510 t - two monitors?

    Hello forum!

    For work I'll put up a brand new, out-of-the-box, desktop Pavilion Elite HPE - 510 t series, and I'm supposed to put up with two monitors. The monitors are both monitors HP 21 "(not sure model number, but pretty sure this info is irrelevant.) Both monitors have a DVI and a VGA output each.

    The problem is... I don't know if the computer can get out to two monitors. I mean, I think it can its such a new computer and the plug about it being very respectable. But at the back of the system, the only entries that I see are:

    1 HDMI

    1 DVI

    assortment of 6 audio inputs (speaker, microphone, etc.).

    1 Ethernet

    4 USB PORTS

    and something audio optical

    But there is also what appears to be two locations that are "closed" for lack of another word. One is what appears to be a DVI input but with a screwed in black plastic piece. I guess I should remove the plastic and it would be an another DVI but on the plastic was the words "DO NOT REMOVE" so I left alone. The other location is what seems to be a HDMI slot with a black piece of plastic glued to the front.

    The computer is capable of ouputting to two monitors?

    and

    What are those waterproof slots?

    Good luck with your responses and thanks in advance,

    There's a HMDI.  Use a HMDI on DVI connector.  Not very expensive.  Make sure you have the right sex on each end or cable/connector.  See the Big Dave det-related article it upward.

  • The Pavilion p6120f supports two monitors?

    I want to add a second monitor to the PC.  Is this possible and I have to buy a video card for that to happen?

    Hello

    Integrated into your PC video card does not support two monitors, you have three choices:

    Install a discrete videocard-> costs and better performance a little more

    Use a USB video adapter-> less performance but costs less (USB to VGA or DVI)

    USB Monitor connectable -> lower performance, is more expensive, but includes the monitor.

    Video cards that work with the 300 Watt power supply in your PC.

    $50 - >NVIDIA GT 4309.6 Gbps - single slot width

    $65 - >NVIDIA GT 520 8 Gbps - single slot width

    $70 - > NVIDIA GT 430 22.4 GB/s - the single slot width

    $80 - >NVIDIA GT 44025.6 GB/s - single slot width

    $110 - >NVIDIA GT 240 1 GB DDR5. 54.4 Gbps single slot width, this card does not support DirectX 11 which is eventually used in some of the latest PC games but it's a great performer.

    My recommendation is to go with the video card.  Look at video cards above against your video port conditions.
