Dual Monitor setup with HP 510 p127c

[HPrasta]

Just got for xmas. I have 2 Samsung B2230 22" monitors I used with my old computer. Once is DVI connection and the other is VGA. This computer comes with Radeon R7 450 graphics card and it has a DVI port, AND HDMI BUT no VGA.

What exactly do I need or adapter to use my second VGA monitor with this computer so I have dual monitors.

I hope there is a simple adapter I can use

Hi,

You need DVI to VGA adapter as mentioned on the following link:

  This card does not have a VGA connector. VGA connection is only possible through a DVI to VGA adapter which is not included with the graphics card.

I tested the following adapter, and it worked. It may not available in your country, please ask for a similar one from any good computer shop.

       

Regards.

Ok sorry maybe i was not clear. I have 2 monitors. one now is plugged into the R7 450 card. I now have only one more opening which is a HDMI port. I have a monitor that has a VGA connection. So I am trying to now plug in my 2nd monitor which is a VGA connection into the HDMI port so I can use BOTH monitors. Again one is already plugged into the DVI port that is the main monitor. Need to connect the second mnitor which is VGA and the only thing left is HDMI on the graphics card.

Hi,

Have you read its specs ? Your machine has Radeon card  which has 3 ports at the back:

       Rear I/O connectors: DVI + HDMI + DisplayPort

You alreade use DVI port for the first monitor, now please buy an HDMI to VGA adapter/converter for the second monitor.

Hope this is a bit clearer now.

Regards.
