Help .... I've read up on this & watched of these videos . i need this figured out for my home studio setup . I have a Dell Xps 210 & if you are familiar with this computer it has a cover with a no sign over the vga plug . Can i still remove this & connect my other monitor anyway ?? thanks in advance

@BlazeYaDiGG What do you mean there is no sign? You should be able to plug in any other monitor and your computer will recognize it automatically, as long as it's VGA.

lol i know it sounds ridiculous but theres an actual no sign cover over the vga plug .

Matter fact ill take a pic of it real quick to see if u can help me from there . @FutureInventions

Just was being cautious & i didn't wanna connect my other monitor until i got word it was safe . @FutureInventions Check your inbox . The pic is in there

@BlazeYaDiGG I don't see a VGA there. If it is VGA I'm absolutely 100% sure it will work if you plug in another screen. And even if not, you can always plug in your old screen and you can still use it. If the other screen says it's the wrong resolution, you can go into the settings and adjust it with your current monitor. If you need any help, just message me! Thanks for subbing! :)

@thekingofcobra Hello dude

how do you setup it up for a desktop?! all i can find is laptop videos!!!

[FutureInventions]

@PCGamer1471 You need to have a desktop computer with two video outputs. That way you can connect your primary screen along withj your secondary screen. If you have an iMac though, this is possible, if you have the video adapter. Also if you have a PC or Mac Pro without two outputs, you need to update your graphics card to do this.
