Dual monitor for M Series ThinkCentr​e with Intel hd graphics + i5 650 processor?

I have a  M Series (My guess it is M90) ThinkCentre desktop with Intel hd graphics + i5 650 processor (detailed info in pictures below), one vga port on the central unit, I would like to upgrade dual monitors to extend desk. 
I checked online, someone said a Intel hd graphics doesn't support dual monitor, but some said yes. My questions are:
1, could I upgrade to dual monitors with the Intel hd Graphics+i5 650 processor instead of upgrading a ATI video card?
2, if 1 is yes, can I attach a vga 15-pin splitter to connect dual monitors? Thanks. 
Solved!
Go to Solution.

That model does support 2 monitors, the 2nd using the DisplayPort (DP.)   Not many monitors support DP as yet, if needed, a DP to DVI, HDMI or VGA can be bought.   Lenovo sells them, or I also recommend an AMD approved adapter :

you need a single-link (if DVI), passive adapter.   And not mini-DP.  
Search on "M90, monitor" in the search engine above right for more information.

  • Dual monitor support? for HP Compaq Pro 4300, with Intel HD Graphics 4000 onboard

    Hi,
    Purchased new Buisness PC for cloud computing, which was HP Compaq Pro 4300 - with Dual Monitor supported.
    I have purchased 2x Samsung S24C550VL 23.6 inch LED MHL Monitor (250cd/m2, 1920x1080, 2ms, 2x HDMI, MHL, VGA).
    How do I cable these avoiding using VGA for one of them.  Can I use a splitter cable as both appear to support DVI-D ?  Which of the many cables options/splitters may be best option for extended display?
    PC will be operating Windows 7 Professional 64
    Regards
    Woof !

  • I'm trying to set up a dual monitor for my new iMac. I'm using a second display I used with my old G5. My iMac recognizes the second monitor but the monitor won't turn on. Power button doesn't do anything on the monitor itself.

    I'm trying to set up a dual monitor for my new iMac. I'm using a second display I used with my old G5. My iMac recognizes the second monitor but the monitor won't turn on. Power button doesn't do anything on the monitor itself.

    If it won't turn on then the monitor is dead (power supply?, video circuits?).  Not worth repairing.
    If you have a new iMac then it has thunderbolt.  So exactly what is that monitor you are trying to connect?  For TB you can connect a mini-displayport monitor.   Probably (not 100% sure with TB) can use dvi or vga too if you have the appropriate adapter.

  • How do I set-up my TV as a dual monitor for my MacBook Pro?

    Hi
    I have a mid-2009 MacBook Pro running (OS X 10.8.2) Mountain Lion, and recently I rearranged my home workspace so that I can view my TV from my desk while I work.
    I would like to set-up my TV as a dual monitor for my MacBook Pro, so I can stream videos on my TV screen and have the whole screen to do work on my MacBook Pro at the same time.
    Is this possible? I've seen people use TVs as a mirror display (where it works as their main and only monitor), but never as a fully operational dual display.
    As an example, I would like to have my MacBook screen showing a desktop with the whole screen devoted to Photoshop, while I have another desktop running on my TV, which shows an internet browser or other application.
    If this is possible, what cords/hardware would I need, and what are the settings that will enable me to do this?
    - My TV is a modern flatscreen LCD, and it has two HDMI ports in the back.
    - It's about 9-10 feet from my desk.
    If anyone could help, that'd be awesome!
    Thanks.

    Yes, you can do that.
    You'll need a mini displayport to HDMI adaptor:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/H1824ZM/A/moshi-mini-dp-to-hdmi-adapter-with-a udio-support
    and an HDMI cable long enough to reach your TV
    (look on Amazon or Monoprice for the best price on any of those parts)
    In your display options, you will just choose extended desktop vs mirrored display.

  • Dual monitors for my macbook pro

    I want to use dual monitors for my macbook pro but I am getting mixed answers as to if that is possible. I want to use just the two monitors, so basically I am thinking I will plug my macbook into the monitors, close my macbook and use a blue tooth mouse and keyboard on the two monitors. I want to know if that is possible. Also, I am wondering about the adapters. I know that one end should be the thunderbolt and then the other end will have whatever the monitor needs (DVI/VGA) but all the adapters I see only have one place to plug a monitor in, and I will be need two.

    It is possible.
    I currently use a thunderbolt to vga adaptor and a usb to vga adaptor to run two independent monitors.
    However, the usb to vga adaptor is not great.  I'm using an Eclipse See2 UV159 but the screen does not come out as good as the thunderbolt to vga adaptor. 
    I'm currently looking for a better adaptor.

  • Which O/S upgrade is recommended for a MAC Book Pro17 with Intel Core Duo 2.16 GHz

    Which O/S upgrade is recommended for a MAC Book Pro17 with Intel Core Duo 2.16 GHz
    I am using os x 10.4.11.
    Do I need to upgrade to 10.5.xx? Will this platform suport 10.6.xx? If 10.6 will work do I need to install 10.5 first?
    Thanks...

    Hi. Your computer can be upgraded to either Leopard 10.5 or Snow Leopard 10.6. 10.6 will be much easier to find and will be less expensive. Leopard is not required prior to upgrading to Snow Leopard.

  • 3d picture control fail with Intel HD Graphics 4600

    I bought a laptop with Intel core i7 with Intel HD 4600 graphics. I'm testing a vi containing a 3D picture control. However when I run the vi, the 3d object that contains the 3d picture control displays a conflict, since the moving object, and this leaves no "clean" screen 3d object made. Any tips?, Thanks.
    Pdta: I'm using LV2012 and attached a picture of what that looks

    I too am having similar issues with 3d picture control paired with Intel HD Graphics 4000. Has this issue been resolved and what was the fix?
    Additional information, my lap top also has a NVIDIA Quadro K3000M card. This display adapter is used when only external monitors are used and not the laptop display. In this configuration my 3d picture control works fine. When I switch to the lap top display the Intel HD Graphics 4000 is used and that is when I see the 3d graphics issue.
    I have tried to turn off hardware acceleration and not given any acceleration option as suggested in the previous post. 
    I have the latest device driver for the Intel HD Graphics 4000.
    I am using LabView 2012
    Thanks for the help.

  • OPENGL disabled with Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB

    Macbook Air with Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB. When attempting to open 3D file Photoshop cc14.2.1 receive error message "Could not complete your request because 3D functionality is currently disabled due to OpenGL being disabled." Cannot enable OPENGL in preferences. What to do besides buy new Mac with different graphics card?

    Hi p,
    If you mean software, go to the Apple menu and select Software Update.
    If you mean the actual hardware GPU, that is soldered onto the logic board and is not upgradeable.

  • Can I install a graphics card on a Touchsmart 610-1050f computer with intel HD graphics

    Can I install a graphics card on a Touchsmart 610-1050f computer with intel HD graphics and if i can where
    can i find a graphics card that will install in that computer.

    There are many MANY threads on this, the answer is that it's not worth your time since you have to have a replacement card that the HP system BIOS already likes,, and this is not the same as replacing anything in a desktop, this is the equivalent of replacing the graphics in a laptop.
    Since the graphics cards are not considered a user upgradable component there are no lists of "approved cards" nor guides to doing it, the closest you could do is the service or recycling disassembly sheets.

  • 27" iMac as monitor for 8-core Mac Pro with Dual DVI card... what cables?

    I have a Mac Pro 3 GHz 8-core Intel Xeon processor with the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT card with two DVI ports for output. One goes nicely to an external JVC monitor, but I would like to get the 27" iMac as a monitor for the Mac Pro. Has anyone heard of, or done this? What cables and connectors would be required?
    Cheers everyone.

    Actually that is only one solution. The converter is not a cable, but a black box. So you need the two cables I mentioned to make the whole process work;
    Mac pro -> DVI to DVI cable -> DVI to m-DP converter -> m-DP to m-DP cable ->iMac
    This article mentions the three that have come to market.
    http://lowendmac.com/ed/bashur/09db/dvi-to-mini-displayport.html
    The first two are expensive and very expensive. The third does not appear to support content protection schemes, so a lot of new digital video sources would not make it to the iMac's display.

  • USEING DUAL MONITORS ON MSI DKA790 GX PLATINUM WITH INTERGRATED VIDEO

    I know that you can use VGA + dvi-d port or vga + hdmi port together.But manual shows note : dvi-d connector does not support d-sub to dvi-d converter and i haven't seen a hdmi to vga converter that is not 200 Plus Dollars. Is There An easy way to get dual monitor support on the cheap? Or is It Just Easier to add another video card?

    Your going to want to just buy a video card. If you are some one who is a game you will want to go with a higher end card for instance I will use the Nvidia 8000 series. The 8200 and 8400 are lower end processors for that card while the more expenseive 8600 and 8800 are the higher end cards. Make sure they support dual out put. Make sure you have a good power supply for any of the high end cards. Some of there demands can exceed 200 watts. Most dual monitor cards will have the two DVI poets and one S-video. they will also come with adapters for HDMI and component id they support it.  I do a dual monitor display and love it. way better than the splitters. anyways hope this helps.

  • Dual monitor for Power mac g5 dual 2.3ghz

    I wanted some advice on which monitors to get for a dual monitor setup and if its even possible to setup on my G5 or do I need a different video card?
    Here's my computer spechs:
    Power mac G5 dual core 2.3 ghz (late 2005)
    Model: A1177
    Memory: 2GB DDR2 SDRAM
    HDD: 250GB
    OS X 10.5.8 Leopard
    The only thing I run on this is logic studio 8. I wanted to expand my setup but not sure how.
    Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks

    It depends on which video card you have installed, though not much.  Whichever card you have installed, you should have two DVI outputs available.  With the minimum 256 Meg VRAM, you should be able to support two 1920x1080 monitors without a problem, and the "HD" monitors are getting very plentiful and dropping in price.  Were I to buy today, I would make sure to get an LED monitor, as that flavor should have a longer overall life than a florescent panel monitor.  You can find monitors in 23" dimensions for under $200 a pop, and more 27" monitors are showing up at a slightly bigger bite.
