I want to connect a 2nd monitor with my hp machine. the 1st monitor ist already connected and uses the only one hdmi port on the machine. the second monitor can only be connected via vga-port. but i am not satisfied with the quality of the display resoution. i want to connect the 2nd monitor via hdmi too. is it possible the place a additional grafic card with 2 hdmi-ports into the pc? would it also work using a additional grafic card with only one hdmi-port, so i can connect the 1st monitor withe the onboard hdmi-port and the 2nd monitor using the hdmi-port on the grafiic card?
knows anybody a suitable low-cost grafic card for my purpose? many thx.

unless each display carries a different picture (video stream) you can simply daisy chain HDMI monitors

if each display must be different the system supports these (low profile) video cards, most of them have HDMI/DVI/VGA outputs and will support two video displays at the same time
