how do I know if my computer supports dual monitors?

You need to check your video card on the back of your computer. You can locate it by looking for where your monitor connects to it. If your computer supports dual Monitors your computer will have 2 similar looking ports. If it doesn't you can buy a video card that does support it for $60-$80. If you are still unsure after looking, take a picture of the back of it w your phone and then bring it in to a best buy for advice.

If you are having to ask this question, you likely will need to have someone that knows more about computers help you. Not being a smartazz, just being realistic. Most any computer can be made to support dual monitors with a new video card or external dock. Few come ready-to-go for duals. DO you have a tech-savvy friend that can helpyou?

Look to see if your computer has two outputs. Some computers have an integrated video card or a modular one. The outputs are from the video card. Basically to support dual monitors you must have dual outputs like two DVI, HDMI, VGA, Display Port. You can also use adapters to convert the signal from one source to the next. Google "Video outputs" and you will see the different outputs I am talking about. Hope this helps. Call me if you need to talk. Mike Tel 305-788-1269

Yes you can use dual monitors with it. bear in mind that the video card has the correct pin configuration. It is not the standard VGA connection to the computer

Yes, it will . You will need to oh into settings to adjust the monitor to see both at once.

I do not believe it does. You can upgrade to a larger monitor but it does not have the capability for dual monitors. It is a great computer though.

yes. may have to jump through a hoop or two, via input settings. but we are running dual monitors of these on four of our companies users.

yes - supports 2 - need hdmi for one monitor, and vga cable for the other. I have setup this way and looks fine

Not concurrently, in my experience. It will let you toggle between 2, if you have 3 connected. If you want to have a third monitor for basic 2-D stuff, you might get one of those add on USB-DVI/VGA devices, but they are CPU intensive.

Hi, Yes you are correct, there are two displayport interfaces and one VGA. Thanks, PCrush

i have 2 monitors hooked up - 1 through standard VGA and 1 through a DVI -> HDMI connector (the computer has an HDMI port). but they are old monitors, and it took a bit of doing to find the correct windows drivers. but it is doable.

It has HDMI and VGA ports, and the integrated graphics on the i7-3770 CPU and B75 Express Intel chipset can support up to 3 independent monitors, so unless Acer screwed up the implementation, the answer is "yes," it will support two monitors. It supports up to a maximum of 16 GB memory in 4 slots (3 are filled already with two 4GB and one 2GB DIMMs. Adding another 4GB DIMM would get you 14GB easily for cheap. You'd have to remove the 2GB chip and replace with another 4MB to get the max. 16GB. It comes with DDR3-1333/PC3-10600 memory.

It's just the onboard High definition card from intel but it does support dual monitors. If you are a gmer you will want to get a more powerful card.

Your computer needs to be designed to run two monitors. My PC had a video card that stipulated that feature. Check out your MAC Book's features. My system has two HDMI plugs.

The Windows7 OS's support dual monitors...there is a Video Adaptor plug AND a HDMI plug...but I'm not sure you can use both at the same time....query ZOTAC about that one.

Yes, I currently have two monitors hooked up to my computer. We have 2 DVI hooked up by using a DVI adaptor on the VGA output.

The monitor shows up as a second display. Anything that works on a second display should work on this.
