    How do I add Monitor for Extended Display: Only one VGA Port


    Hello:

    I have Dell Desktop with Intel integrated graphics card. There's is only one VGA port in the back of the tower. I do see what appears to be an HDMI port directly above that.

    I'd like to add another monitor so as to have an extended display. I did try a USB to VGA adapter. But those really do require USB 3. I have only USB 2

    Is there an inexpensive way to hook up another monitor for regular internet viewing, given that I have only that one VGA port, and one HDMI port?

    Thanks
    Eli

    VGA Port Not Broadcasting to Second Monitor


    Machine: Lenovo - Ideacentre 300S Desktop - Intel Core i3 - 4GB Memory - 500GB Hard Drive
    OS: Windows 10
    Processor Model: Intel 4th Generation Core i3
    Graphics Card: Intel HD Graphics 4400

    Backstory: I had my computer setup and working properly with dual monitors. I needed to use my work computer with the my monitors, so I unplugged both without shutting down my desktop. When I went to plug in the monitors, I had some trouble getting them to display. I eventually got my primary monitor working via a HDMI cable. However, the VGA connected monitor was not being detected.

    Problem: I've tried to use the Windows Key + P to setup the computer for extended desktops. However the monitor is still not detecting a signal from my machine and the machine does not detect the monitor.


    • I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers on the graphics card.
    • I've tried a system restore to a period prior to the problem.
    • I tried purchasing a cable that converts the VGA port to an HDMI connection at the monitor and that didn't help.

    I'm somewhat proficient with computers and at a point where I don't know of any other solutions. I talked with somebody at Best Buy where I purchased the machine, and the suggested it could be faulty hardware. Given the number of people experiencing the same problem, I suspect that's not the case. Anybody have suggestions? Thank you very much in advance for your help.

    Windows 10 upgrade messed up 2nd monitor resolution on vga port

    Running ASUS A88X-PRO connected to 2 identical ASUS ProArt 246 monitors at 1920x1200 recommended resolution. One monitor connected through DVI port and second monitor on the VGA port. Everything worked fine with Windows 8.

    Upgraded to Windows 10 monitor on the VGA port would only display the central 70-80% portion of the image even though both monitors set to the same 1920x1200 resolution.

    Installed latest BIOS and chipset updates and drivers for Windows 10. Tried swapping monitors but problem is always with the VGA port monitor. Went through Control Panel, rechecked display settings numerous times without improvment.

    Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks.
