Product: Pavilion 55E958C5-7DF6-4358-B290-CA65EA0067DC
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

My PC only has a single 15 pin VDU female output (no PCI/PCIx card).  I would like to be able to run two screens with separate programs.  I know I will need a graphics card with two outputs.  The screens I have just have a 15 pin and a 24 pin (I currently use the 15 pin) on one and the spare only has a 15 pin. Neither have HDMI inputs.  The programs I want to use are not gaming so I assume I don't require anything special.  Can somebody give me ideas for UK purchase.

Hello
to start the best would be to give the exact reference of the computer, and screens

Sorry for missing the necessary information..

 

My Pavilion PC has these codes showing on the underside.

Product # N8X12EA#ABU

S/N CZC63182WD

 

My screen is a Dell 22” DP/N 0D544H

PL 0D544H-70717-B73-093M-A00

 

This screen has the 15 and 24 pin sockets (15 currently being used).

 

My spare screen that I want to add is a Dell 17” E170SC

 

I hope this helps.

I did not understand if you already have the two models ??
I can't find the first one, with the given reference ..
I found the second one, but it looks quite old, it would be VGA only!
your computer must be this one

https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-pavilion-550-100-desktop-pc-series/8499648/model/11926383/do...


So you have a vga port, and a visiblmeent HDMIOrchid3 back I/O panel

2 vga

3 hdmi


Can't you install an HDMI display
Your screen seems to be connected in VGA.
Isn't the second port a dvi ??
what type exactly? ( dvi-d  d?? )

Yes, that is my PC with an unused hdmi and a single  VGA. The 22” has a vga, which I am using and what I guess is a DTI. This has 8 pins in 3 rows and a slot. When I was looking for the model number there was a label “reburnished” which I didn’t understand as it was bought with a new Dell PC! Getting back to my question, does the hdmi output on the pc give a separate output to the VGA one. May I should buy a new monitor with hdmi?  If not then I assume an add-on PCI/PCIx graphics card Would need to have two outputs for win10 to control a programme on each? If it needs an additional graphics card can you recommend one - nothing fancy.

Yes, it is not specified, it seems to me in the characteristics, but you must be able to use a screen in vga, and one in HDMI

I added a Samsung Smart Tv via a HDMI lead and I could view a program by dragging the window over to it from the original 22” Dell.  So your theory works . Unfortunately, the wife isn’t happy as it came from ‘her’ room !!! Now I am wondering if one of those hdmi to VGA devices would work.  Thanks for your support and ideas so far.

I don't know if I understood your last question correctly
If you want to know, if it is possible to connect a vga display with the HDMI output, I have never tried
I know you need an adapter, but be careful, because sometimes what you buy is a simple adapter, you need a converter.
And this is not always well explained!
So I don't have a concrete example

The best would be to go to a specialized store
Please close the subject, validating the answer, if that suits you

I gave up on connecting an old Dell 17" screen to Pavilion (details above).  I am now thinking of buying a new HP 22" that has a HDMI connection.  Perhaps model No. 4274510.  Will this work please?

Maybe you have a link, I don't think I can find it with this simple number?
having said that, if the display is HDMI, I don't see why it wouldn't work ...

[edit]

is it this one ?

https://support.hp.com/my-en/document/c05557218

1 VGA
1 HDMI
So, I can't tell you about the quality, but yes, it must be able to work!
