Pavilion PC 570
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

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

 

Figure : Lubin back I/O panel
Lubin back I/O panel
  1. VGA
  2. HDMI out
  3. USB 3.0: 2
  4. USB 2.0: 2
  5. LAN (Ethernet)
  6. 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
