Multiple Screen Outputs on the Acer 3820tg laptop (HD 5470)

I tested a 1680x1050 as well as a 1024x768 monitor. One was on HDMI and the other one on VGA. I might get a new external monitor so that I'd get extra resolution. Anyway, if you have questions just leave them in the comments.

--UPDATE--
Tested two 1680x1050 screens and they both worked fine.

I don't know where the white vga cable comes from since my father gave it to me. Even with that cable I had to remove a part of the plastic to make it fit. Your best bet would be to take a standard vga cable and remove a part of the plastic as well as on the HDMI and try to make them fit.

Yep damn acer for the poor design, I totally hear you.

I took your advice, cut up an old vga cable...ended up massacring it LOL
