Hey there, I purchased the HP Slim S01-pF1048xt for my son last year along with the HP X24c Gaming Monitor. It's connected via HDMI and for Christmas this year, I purchased a second HP X24c monitor. But the issue I am having is that I can't get this second identical monitor connected. The monitor has a HDMI or a Display input so I purchased a HDMI to VGA and have it going into the VGA at the back of the tower. Once connected, I went into the second monitor's input settings and selected HDMI and that doesn't work and what it also does that is bizarre is that when the second monitor is connected it's as if it can't handle it. So much so that when I go into the Windows main settings so I can get into display settings, settings can't even open.
I am losing my mind here thinking this is the only computer made in the last 10 years that can't handle multiple displays but on the spec page here it says it can support 3 displays. Many thanks for your help!

As mentioned before you need a right converter. I tested many of them on market few years back, the results were not promising. Please try

Note: I have not tested this one and not willing to test now because no more source for me to test (I'm a retiree now).

From its specs, it supports 3 monitors but the specs does not list available ports. Looks like it has at its back:
- (1) RJ-45 Ethernet port
- (1) HDMI 1.4b/HDCP 2.2 port
- (1) VGA port
- (3) Audio ports
- (4) USB 2.0 Type-A ports
- (1) Power input port
From VGA (analog) to HDMI (digital) you need a proper converter. Please use NATIVE VGA to VGA cable that means your monitor must have VGA input port. Can you swap the monitor ?
Regards.

Thanks for your response. I can't swap out the monitor because it's identical to the original/first one I purchased. Would it work to get an HDMI to VGA (which I have) that then connects to VGA to VGA cable (which I would need to purchase)? Or would the monitor still be seen as HDMI?
