Hi, Yes you are correct, there are two displayport interfaces and one VGA. Thanks, PCrush

There should be 2 VGA ports IIRC and an HDMI. Try it with a different monitor too!!

It has only one DVI and VGA Port. May you can think of some spiliters and connect two sources! I have not done it.

Yes. One monitor plugs into the VGA port and the other has to plug into the HDMI port. If you don't have an HDMI enabled monitor (and are using a VGA monitor), then you need to get a VGA to HDMI adapter. The computer is kinda laggy on audio and video though, I don't really recommend it. Get used to your music buzzing a lot.

I used dual monitors via using the hdmi with a tv and the normal port for a normal monitor. The graphics handled it perfectly. I could watch shows on one and play games on the other. I had no issues doing this. As for two normal monitors I'm unsure since I haven't tried.

I have two monitors hooked up to this computer - one DVI and one VGA - they both work just fine

I"m not using adapters, but get great pictures on two monitors using dvi. Not sure why you wouldn't be.

I recently just set mine up last night. I am using 3 monitors and had to go into the BIOS and enable onboard video to get the 3rd monitor to work. 2 of my monitors are plugged into the Video Card using 1 DVI and 1 HDMI and the 3rd is plugged into onboard DVI. Im assuming you could use the extra onboard VGA to hook up a 4th monitor if you needed to. If you didn't want to use VGA then you would have to install a 2nd video card in the machine.

Your laptop should have an analog vga 9 pin plug or an hdmi port for one monitor. You would only need one of these adapters for the second screen.

I haven't tried the HDMI but I have lesser cards that I do that with. I run 2 monitors both DVI with this card.

No. I only goes one way. VGA out HDMI in. Not the other way around. It sounds like your are wanting to go from HDMI out to VGA in.

Yes, easily. You need no special cables or software, just a video card with 2 outputs. If a video card has 2 outputs, the normal drivers will support 2 monitors.

Actually, you can just use 1 DVI cable, 1 HDMI cable and 1 Displayport cable for the other monitors. You need monitors that have the connections though.

Yes 1 digital DVI and 1 analogue VGA at the same time. Or you can use the adapter and do two the same kind.

Yes, but only if you have a second rgb or dvi plug on your computer side then you could plug in the hdmi to the monitor if it supports hdmi. If not, I suggest using an RGB splitter which uses 1 to the computer and and 2 out to the monitors. It is located here on amazon as follows; (copy this and paste it to the amazon search) PTC Premium 1-FT GOLD Series VGA / SVGA 1 source to 2 displays Splitter cable - 2 separated leads for the displays for greater reliability and eliminates signal interference. Duplicates the image from the video source to 2 displays. If I did not understand your question I apologize
