How to connect dual monitors

Hi, I am not very computer literate, so I apologize in advance. For my job, I need to connect another monitor to my HP Touchsmart Desktop all in one model 310-1000, but do not know how or if it is possible. Can you please tell me step by step what I need to know/do in order to connect another monitor? Thank you in advance!

Thank you for the additional information. I changed the link in my first post to show examples of USB 2.0 to DVI adapters. You will have to make certain that you buy the correct one. It has to match the connector on the monitor. I suggest that you contact StarTech Customer Service for help with choosing one that matches your monitor. You don't want to have to pay for return shipping if it is incorrect. StarTech has good products.

HT5219 How would I connect dual monitors and also a firewire cable? Macbook Pro (Retina)

Currently I am using two thunderbolt to DVI connectors for the dual monitors, but I am left without any firewire cable connection for my audio interface. THe only adaptor I found was another thunderbolt to firewire, but since I already used these two ports, I am left with no options. I haven't been able to find any usb to firewire cable connections.
Are there any other adapators/ports I can use that I am not aware of?

Something like this at US$300:

How to connect two monitors using macbook pro?

Hi,
I have a Macbook Pro through which I want to extend the displays to two individual monitors.
The two monitors should show two different windows which is opened through my macbook.
I have observed that macbook has only one mini display port through which I connect to HDMI or to DVI ports in monitor.
So how do I connect another monitor source to my macbook, which ports can help in this situation?
The monitors I have which can supports HDMI,DVI,VGA and DP ports.
Could anyone help me on this issue.
Thanks.

You can use a USB 2.0/3.0 to HDMI/DVI interface. You might also consder Thundebolt to HDMI/DVI.
The MBP 13" will support three screens (two external) and the MBP 15" will support four screen (three external).

Help needed to connect dual monitors.

Hi everyone. Here's my problem, I bought two Samsung SyncMaster 913v LCD TFT Displays.
Both of these displays (since they aren't the digital LCD) connect the same way my old Sony Trinitron MultiscanG400 display connected, which I believe is the VGA connection or SVGA or whatever... I'm not smart enough to look into the difference.
Anyway, I have the right Graphics/Video card to run dual monitors. I'm using the GeForce 2 TwinView and it has the required 64mb VRam.
My problem is that there is only one port on the back for monitors. I believe the connection type next to it is an old pre-usb printer/scanner type of connector, LPT1 or whatever those are called.
So do I need an adapter/connector to hook up both of my monitors to use it as a dual display? If not, what do I need to do?
Thanks.

Hi,
To clarify the last post by PB PM. Your present card meets those requirements.
The GF2 Twinview card is sufficient. It has two outlets, one is VGA the other is ADC (Apple Display Connector). You will need a ADC to VGA Adapter, they cost @ $25-30. Hook one monitor to the existing VGA outlet, the other to the adapter on the ADC outlet.
One example is here: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/AddLogix/MCAADCVGA/
You can google for other prices.
After the monitors are connected you may need to go to Displays Pref's and set it for dual monitors in Mirror or Span modes.

Dave

How to connect multiple monitors to a R6970 2PM2D2GD5?

This issue is driving me round the bend because everytime I want to connect a new monitor to my card I run into problems and I can't seem to find a complete authorative answer as to how and what I can connect.
Currently I have 3 monitors connected:
2x DVI
1x MiniDP-DVI (active)
I now want to connect a 4th monitor and tried it via the HDMI-Port. But alas, it doesn't work. Someone in a different forum said I couldn't combine the 2xDVI with the HDMI.
So what can I connect simultaneously?
Which ports can I combine?
And how do I do that?
What cables/adapter etc do I need?
Is there any info/manual/etc available which tells me that?
(First time I failed because I tried a non-active MiniDP-DVI dongle, till somebody told me I needed an active, ...)

OK, here is the AMD multi monitor set-up tool. Its interactive and you start by choosing the amount of monitors you want to connect. Good luck and let us know.

How many non-DisplayPort monitors can I use with an AMD Eyefinity technology-enabled graphics card?
You can connect up to two non-DisplayPort monitors at one time to an AMD Eyefinity technology-enabled graphics card using non-DisplayPort connections or passive DisplayPort dongles. To enable and drive 3 or more non-DisplayPort monitors at one time, the additional non-DisplayPort monitors must be connected with an active DisplayPort dongle
You will need this active Display port dongle. All the requirements and FAQs are in this link http://www.amd.com/us/products/technologies/amd-eyefinity-technology/how-to/Pages/faqs.aspx#whats-the-diff

How to use Dual monitors with G5 Mac; AND How can the image in "Develop" be made to look like wh

Two questions: How can I use my dual monitors on my G5 Mac?
How can the image in "Develop" be made to look like what it will print, just as it is
done in Photoshop with view>proof setup.

Still wondering what tool is available in LR 1.1 to "view proof"
As in Photoshop CS 3, and previous versions of PS, in view I can
choose the custom .icc profile of the printer, to view what the final
print will nearly perfectly appear like.
What tool is available in LR 1.1 to do the same?
Equipment: Mac OS 10.4.10; dual monitors; Epson Pro 9600 and SPR

How to discontinue Dual Monitor

I can't seem to figure out how to discontinue using my dual monitors on my G4 OS 9. I installed an additional video card about a year ago for Pro Tools use. I'm now selling the G4, but can't seem to get the monitor to work without both hooked up. Otherwise, I get a blank screen. I've tried mirroring, split, moving the icon happy face, but I'm unsuccessful.

Connecting Dual Monitors T500

I undestand the T500 does have a displayport, as well as a VGA output. So I could easily connect two monitors for a dual monitor setup. But what would I do in order to connect two monitors digitally?
I currently have a 22" WSXGA screen and using the laptop as a second screen. But I figure another large monitor might increase productivity.
Thanks

Is there a trick to getting the display port to work? I purchased a cablestogo displayport to DVI adapter and the machine does not recognize that any devices connected to it. I went through the presentation manager to turn off the laptop screen and switch my video to displayport and vga and I get this error:
The folloing settings you have selected cannot be applied properly. Change the setting and try again. External Monitor or Projector, Television

any help would be apprecicated.

How to connect dual channel ram on a msi 865pe neo-2 plat.edition ?

hi....
can any one tell me how to connect the RAM as dual channel on the MSI 865PE Neo-2 p Platinum Edition ?
i did like what is written in the manual but nothing happened it only works as a single channel....
the RAm is 2x512 spectek DDR400 PC3200....
pls help me.............

Franknputer is right.
All systems that I build for my gamers runs in Dual Channel and the combo is 1 + 3 or 2 + 4 or 1 + 2 + 3 + 4. 1 x RAM in Channel A and 1 x RAM in Channel B minimum will give your Dual Channel Linear Mode message during startup and you know that you are running Dual Channel.
Next, it is always recommended to have the same make and model and capacity of the RAMs if you want to run in Dual Channel.

Connecting Dual Monitors to my HP Laptop

I have a HP Envy dv7 Laptop.
Windows 8.1
Inter Core i 7-3630QM [email protected] GHz
16GB Ram
64 bit
1 TB HD
Intel HD Graphics
Nvida GeForce GT 635m
2 monitors:
HP w2207h W?: 1-HDMI; 1-VGA & 1- USBin.
2-USB out
HNC LCD 27" Monitor
HDMI 1
HDMI 2
VGA
I would like to connect both monitors to this laptop. The laptop has: 1-HDMI; 1-VGA.
while this seems like a slam dunk, it isn't. They put the VGA and HDMI so close together that I can't plug both in at the same time. It's like they are forcing either the VGA or the HDMI. I'm a general contractor and need both monitors if at all possible. I look at job photos on one while utiizing a drawing program to produce job blueprints on another. Had they left 1/4" between the VGA and HDMI imput plugs I would have been golden, but they didn't. Can anyone suggest a way to get these two monitors plugged in, and up and running.
Thanks,
Perrys6

Elitebook 810 - Displayport to VGA adaptor not connecting dual monitor

I bought a displayport to VGA adaptor (Insignia) for connecting Elitebook 810 to my old HP monitor. When I connect the monitor 'goes to sleep' and won't display. Received msg I can't recreate about not recognizing the hardware and to use HP hardware. Any fixes? Thanks!

Displayport is a digital signal.
VGA is an analog signal.
This will never work. Your solution is to either get the ultraslim dock that comes with VGA or get a monitor that has displayport OR HDMI. Then you can buy the DP to HDMI (because both are digital signals). DP and HDMI carry the audio signal so you can hear audio from the monitor (if it has speakers).
