Can you use dual monitors on HP s5610y Slimline

‎03-30-2011 07:35 AM

I need to use 2 monitors for display of documents on my s5610y HP Slimline.  There is no additional slots to install video card capable of this.  Is there a way to do this?

Boxcar, welcome to the forum.

 

There are two video ports on the I/O plate on the back of the computer; one VGA and one DVI-D.  It doesn't say that they can't be used simultaneously, so I presume that they can be.  You may have to use a DVI-D to VGA adapter if both monitors have DVI-D connectors.

 

One other option is using a PCI Express x1 video card.  The motherboard has two PCI Express x1 slots available.  You may be able to find one with two of the appropriate video ports.  I would look at www.newegg.com.

 

Please let us know if this solves your problem or not.
