Hello
Basically, I have got 2 monitors which I would like to hook up to by laptop.
The monitors are:
Dell E Series E2210 22" Widescreen LCD Monitors (has 18+1 pin DVI-D and Analog Video Input Connector: 1 x 15 Pin D-Sub connector.
My laptop has a VGA and HDMI port, and I was wondering how I can connect the 2 monitors to the laptop at the same time.
I've done some research and understand that you cannot directly connect a DVI-D to VGA because of digital and analogue signals, and converters can be expensive! At the moment, thinking of getting a DVI-D to HDMI cable and a VGA to VGA cable to connect them up (would this work?).
I would prefer to have both as digital outputs, but if there are no disadvantages of having analogue, I would be happy with that.
As my name suggest, I am a student so I don't have much money to buy lots of expensive equipment. Is there a cheap(ish) way to do this?
Thank you in advance
