ok i need help ok my motherboard has a a plug for the monitor bilud in to the mother board and i donot have any video cards on my motherboard do i need a video card wit two ports or one cuz on the vid his has two help me
nice tutorial but i dont know why anybody needs 2 monitiors can somebody explain ?
my computer has 2 analog outputs, but when i put in 2 monitors, the second one says “no video input”, and if i restart my computer it says i need some kind of video card :S do i have to buy a video card or what?
@joey19982 That would duplicate the image on the second monitor. You would need something like a VGA Switch Box.
@xSTRAIGHTxBRUTALITYx Buy a switch box.
what computer do you have?
Because mine doesn’t have any expansion slots
Hey what if my videocard has one DVI and one VGA slot is it ok to use both?
My cheapo computer that I purchased in the Black Friday sale has two video ports. Used the DVI to run the monitor that I got in the box. Used the 15 pin port to run my old monitor, cool.
I dont see why not, but I wouldn’t recommend running two monitors off of one graphics port. It wasnt built to put that much stress on it. Most graphics cards support dual monitors even the cheap ones because theyre built to do that. Id go and buy a new card if yours doesnt support dual monitors. But you could give it a try, just dont do too many high demanding graphic things on both monitors.
If youre using xp you need to left click on the desktop and selected proporties, from that window go to the settings tab and you should see two monitor options, with 1 and 2 on them. Select the 2nd and there should be a drop down menu right below it. Select the second graphic card for the second monitor. After that restart your computer with everything plugged in. That should work, if it doesn’t let me know and ill help you out further.
hello, i need some help. have 2 video cards and i attatched both monitor cables to each one, but i do not know wht to do or how to make the orter screen work. help me please.
Can you do this with a VGA splitter?
If your video card doesnt support 2 monitors you can use 2 graphics cards. Good video though
im having some difficulties with mine.
i can do one long horizontal moniter, or just a clone of each other.
i want the extra montier to have more programs running. i want it not to stretch over to other moniter or clone on it.
can you help please?
if it has two ports that you plug a monitor into, it supports two monitors. its really the same principal with any operating system, although the way you do things might be different, you usually tell the operating system the same stuff.
I’m using my tv as the second monitor
Dude’s got a Hackintosh
it does…im doing it right now actually, I kno this is a month late but if you’re still wanting an answer buy a mini-dvi to vga adapter or whatever other mini-dvi adapter you need.. at best buy for about 9 dollars than a vga cable or whatever cable you need than go too displays in your preferences and wait for your mac too detect it
I actually think it is possible through USB, I am not entirely sure though, so don’t quote me on that.
mean has one is there another way
