Hi, my PC only has 1 HDMI port on te rear, but I want to use two HDMI monitors, any ideas how I can achieve this? Already tried adding a Graphics card, but there is no spare slots. The single available slot is currently occupied by a RADEON R5 that does not have any ports. I have also tried using a Display Port to HDMI cable, but that didn't work either. Thanks

I don't know what is your Pavilion 570, must be 570-something. But your machine should have the following ports at the back

- VGA
- HDMI out
- USB 3.0: 2
- USB 2.0: 2
- LAN (Ethernet)
- Audio jacks
You can connect 2 monitors BUT you have to use one VGA and one HDMI.
Regards.

Hi BH,
According to the 'Device Spec', it is apprently a 'HP Pavilion Desktop PC 570-p0xx'. With regard to the connections to the rear, you are correct, the ones you displayed in your reply are exactly the ones that are there. I have tried using the VGA port using a VGA to HDMI cable, but the monitor did not recognise any signal was coming through. So the HDMI monitor is now redundant!! Given that most monitors are HDMI nowadays, I think that I am stuck! Any ideas?
Many thanks
BB
