Only if you plan on displaying the exact same image on both monitors, a rare setup. However, as shown in the photos of the unit, this tower contains an installed video card that provides 2 DVI (Digital Video Interface) connections. This allows a user to connect dual monitors in the extended setup where one is chosen as the main desktop and the other is used as extra space. This setup is excellent for people who are power users and require the extra space for multiple applications running simultaneously. Setting up dual monitors in Win 7 is easy. Right-click the desktop and choose "Screen resolution" where it will detect the additional monitor and allow you to arrange them to your satisfaction. If the dual DVI card is not installed, request that it be installed and tested by the computer refurbisher company.

You can hook up any two monitors that have a connection for display port and dvi regardless of resolution. You can even use an adapter to dvi, hdmi, or display port to suit whatever you monitor has inputs for including going back to VGA

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.

No, you would need something else to use two monitors at once. This is used for switching between two monitors that are used one at a time.

I purchased mine on Newegg and mine didn't come with one. Being as it is a regular Display Port, I would say no. Be sure that you do get an ACTIVE Display Port adapter though if you are going to be using at least 3 monitors (2 can use just DVI/HDMI). I found a $22 ACTIVE Powercolor Display Port adapter on Newegg.

Yes even if one monitor is a tv screen connected to the HDMI cable. you need to get 2 HDMI cables for the 2 computer monitors. check your monitors older one need a 9 pin adapter.

Yes, I use the HDMI port to add a 2nd monitor so I can use the dual monitor feature of Windows.

That's what we used it for. You'll need a splitter cable - and the end that goes into the card has a bazillion pins (ok, 60) - not standard DVI plug. The other ends of the splitter can be DVI. See "DMS-60/LFH-60 to Dual DVI Y-Splitter Cable Converter for Dual Monitor"

nope, you plug this into an usb port, let the plug and play install the drivers, then connect a second monitor.

Hi Nolan Briggs,Yes, you will use a Y-cable because the input at the back has 2 inputs. Thanks. >Joffrey

No. Both must be digital connections. DVI and HDMI. You can use converter on either port

I'm running dual screens. It depends upon your video card I believe and not the monitors if you have two video outputs etc.

No, it's a female end, like the back of a computer, so you need a normal cable to plug in. Works great, if you have a DVI cable, buy an adapter/converter, then you have access to both types of display inputs. Even though expensive, I now have 2 and leave 1 at home and travel with the other
