Connecting a second monitor to an Envy All-In-One

Please excuse my ignorance on this topic in advance.
I just purchased an HP Envy All-In-One.  Model 23o014; Product F3E94AA#ABA.  I'm running Windows 8.1.   I'm very happy with my purchase so far.
I also purchased an AOC E2470Sw monitor and would like to connect this as a second monitor to the All-In-One.
The AOC monitor has a VGA(? - 15 pin connector) connection), but also has two HDMI inputs.  I THOUGHT (with concurrence from my distracted salesman) that I could connect the two using the HDMI connectors on both machines, but I'm getting a blank screen on the AOC when I try it.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Sally

Hi...
The HDMI connector on the base is an input,not an output. For a second monitor, you would need to go with a USB to video adapter.

  • How to connect a second monitor/TV to HP ENVY Beats All-In-One

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone could tell me if it is even possible to connect a second monitor to the HP ENVY Beats All-In-One Desktop PC, because I'm trying to connect my TV as the second monitor through HDMI and I've tried everything that I could, but have come up empty handed?

    Hi,
    What is the model/product of your AIO machine ? I many cases, you can't use HDMI port to connect to a TV because it is HDMI IN port. You need USB - HDMI converter/adapter to connect to a TV (or monitor).

  • Can I use the HDMI out on a HP ALL IN ONE TOUCHSCREEN Desktop to connect a second monitor with HDMI

    Can I use the HDMI out on a HP ALL IN ONE TOUCHSCREEN Desktop to connect a second monitor with HDMI  in without any additional  software or graphics adaptor.  I have a 520-1070
    HP - 23" Touch-Screen TouchSmart All-In-One Computer - 8GB Memory - 2TB Hard Drive ? I used a HDMI to HDMI cable and the monitor was not  recognized.

    Here are the specs for your HP TouchSmart 520-1070 Desktop Computer. As previously stated your computer Doesn't have a HDMI output, instead it has a HDMI input. This is designed to let you connect a game console, a DVD/Bluray player, etc. to use as a monitor.
    If you wish to conect a second monitor to your computer, you will need to use a USB-to-video adapter such as the EVGA UV Plus+ UV39 or EVGA UV Plus+ UV19. Using an adapter like these with the touch feature of your computer may cause issues with pointer control and you may need to disable the touch feature to use "extended desktop".

  • How do you connect a second monitor to a MacBook Pro

    i am wanting to connect a second monitor to my MAC so i can have 2 of my pages showing at the same time. how do i do that?

    I am pretty sure the MacBook and MacBook Pro only supports ONE external monitor of any description, even though the cabling will support two.
    The short story, that Courcoul has alluded to but not stated, is this:
    All you need is an Adapter. All the software to do elegant multiple display work is already in place in your Mac, and will be activated automatically the moment you plug it in. Nothing to Install, no settings to change. Just plug in the display.
    The default mode is Extended Desktop, where the one-monitor desktop is enhanced by having the area of the second display appended to its right side (or any other side you specify). The mouse moves freely from one display to the other, and can drag windows with it, which can be resized on the other display. You can even drop things so that half is on each display, and they will scroll and update "the right way".

  • I have connected a second monitor and I want to be able to close my macbook lid. How can I achieve this? please

    I have connected a second monitor to my mac Book Pro, I now want to be able to close the lid of the mac Book Pro, when I do so it switches off the screen? how ca I close the top of the Mac book and leave my second monitor active please?

    Use the link that Bob provided - and make certain that you have an external mouse (well, or Magic Trackpad - it's just wonderful) and Bluetooth or USB keyboard available.

  • Wireless printing problem with HP Envy all-in-one 110 when running Mac OS 10.7

    I just bought the HP Envy all-in-one 110. I have a Macbook Air running IS 10.7. I managed to install the software correctly and the wirless network light is showing on the printer. I ran a test page from the printer and all the settings say they are "enabled." But I still can't get the printer to print over the wireless network. When I plugged in a USB cable, I managed to get it to print. I have a wireless router running over the Sonic.net DSL network. Network strength is good. I've switched off and restarted all equipment several times but still no results. Help!

    Hi,
    I believe the router may not support Multicasting, a network protocol used for Apple's Bonjour service to operate as it should.
    Will be helpful to know the exact router brand and model.
    As a workaroung, you may try setting the printer by using standard IP, it should allow you to print, however the router issue (more likely) have to be handled first to allow the full software functionality including scanning.
    Follow the steps below to set an IP print queue, it will also help to better understand the cause for the problem:
    Enter System Preferences > Print & Scan.
    Click the plus sign.
    Click the IP icon.
    Select the HP Jetdirect Socket protocol.
    Enter the printer IP address into the Address field
    Now try printing using the newly created print queue, listed as the printer IP address.

  • HP Envy All-in-One Missing Parts

    My fiance just bought me the HP Envy all-in-one desktop computer. He was going to set it up for me yesterday and noticed it's missing the dongle for the wireless keyboard and wireless mouse. Has anyone else had this issue after purchasing this product?
    We got it from our local Best Buy store and it was in a sealed box so we know it wasn't a returned product. Our store only has 1 left at least from what we saw on the shelves and hope they can fix our issue today.

    Dongle is a small USB part and found near the keyboard or mouse box. Sometimes inside the keyboard and mouse (In a dongle housing, you would find a pocket/socket where it can be stored.)
    Refer documentation to locate the dongle or call HP.
    Wish you luck,

  • DVI connection to second monitor doesn't work

    When I had the connection from my Mac Pro to my two monitors (20" Cinema display and 19" Princeton monitor), I had the black screens for a few seconds for both monitors then return to normal. It happens anytime. I read the forum and changed the VGA cable to connect the 19" Princeton monitor and now both monitors work fine.
    Do I have to live with the VGA cable option or anyone know how to utilize the DVI connection capability of Mac Pro please help?
    Mac Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   2.66 GHz, 20" Cinema Display, 19" Princeton Monitor

    Hi Joe,
    I tried to locate the right slot (x16) by going to
    Expansion Slot Utility and changed from #1 to #2. It
    showed my configuration of the PCI card now is x16 or
    fully speed.
    The problem is still the same with DVI connection to
    two monitors. Any other suggestions would be
    appreciated.

    I'm fresh out of idea's. I assume that your card is a 7300GT, correct? I had an out of the box failure with mine and Apple replaced it. I was lead to believe that there were quite a few failures with the card. Interesting, they didn't even want the old one back.
    I'd go the Applecare route next and see what they say. FYI, I have two of these running three monitors (all apple flat panels) all on DVI connectors.

  • Is anyone else experiencing problems with the thunderbolt port on their Mac Mini's regarding using it to connect a second monitor? I've got the Mini Display Port to DVI-D adapter along with a DVI-D cable and I can't get an image on the second monitor.

    I had an dual display image / setup working twice for a few seconds, but then it cut out. I think there may be a problem with the thunderbolt port.

    As far as I can tell you have only listed that you have a DVI monitor connected to the Mini Displayport socket (i.e. the Thunderbolt socket) via presumably the Apple Mini Displayport to DVI adapter and a DVI to DVI cable.
    You don't appear to have listed what the second monitor is and how it is connected (even though not working). As such I cannot tell what may be wrong.

  • Connecting a second monitor to a iMac27

    I have a problem with my new iMac27 displaying through a second monitor.
    The second display monitor is a Samsung Syncmaster 225BW.
    I 'm using an Apple Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter cable out of the iMac and connecting to the second display via an HDMI cable to a DVI-HDMI adaptor.
    When I go into Monitor Settings it shows the second monitor okay but there is no display showing on the Samsung monitor.
    To test the cables and setup I connected the same cable setup into my MacAir laptop and the display shows up okay on the second monitor confirming there is nothing wrong with the connectors.
    Can anyone kindly help?

    for me this almost sounds like it could be a damaged mini display port on your imac. normally attaching a second monitor is just plug&play. and since you say OS X is correctly recognizing the display, this could be MDP/graphic card issue. is the imac still under warranty? if so, you might wanna call the apple support and if they know nothing then you will probably have to give your imac into repair
