  • i have the Pc as shown in the Video, and i have an other extra video card with only one VGA. but my question is if i can connet two monitors where the the green part is that has Two options next to the Pink plugin.

  • @kromofamily The two green ports next tot he pink plugin are Serial Ports used for connection other kinds of IO devices...not video. The pink port is a LPT or printer port used for connecting a printer or other type of parallel port device (often high end software has a dongle for licensing that requires a parallel port). These are both "legacy" connections, as most I/O is done via USB ports.

  • Will this work if i use a port on the on board video card for one monitor and an installed graphics card for the other?

  • @gumdrops27 Maybe. Will depend on the capabilities of the specific system and BIOS settings. With some systems if it detects the presence of a graphics card, it will disable the onboard graphics chip. With others the BIOS may have options for allowing both to run at the same time and in that case, yes it would be possible to run dual monitors.

  • My graphics card has 2 ports 1 DVI and 1 VGA, can i use a splitter on the VGA because both my monitors run on VGA?

  • @jarrodyo You can get a DVI to VGA adapter to connect your VGA monitor to the DVI port.

  • Would this work if one monitor is HDMI and one is VGA?

  • @noner101g

    lol

  • Do i need two of these vga to dvi connectors? Thanks

  • @javtex101 i dont Think you can extend it with a splitter. You just get the same on both as you said, you probably need two monitor connections.

  • How do I get sound on the second screen I have the monitor and then I have the computer hooked up with the HDMI. but can only get sound on the monitor not the TV how do I fix this problem

  • @Javtex101 I Have the Same Problem!

  • I bought a splitter but the view is duplicated and I can't extend the desktop

    What do I do!?
