Connecting one monitor to another directly through hdmi port

[Felipe Felix]

Hi everyone! I bought a monitor LG 4K 24UD58-B and connected it to my Quadro K620 using the DP port. I have another monitor available, so I was thinking on connecting it directly to the LG through it's hdmi port. Is that even possible?

The reason why I'm not connecting it to the graphic board is that my GB has only one DVI-D DL + one DP 1.2 port and I don't have a DVI cable right now.

What do you guys think?

Nope - won't work. HDMI is only one way, i.e. source to monitor. DP you can daisy chain together, i.e. source to monitor1 to monitor2.

Not afaik.
You'll need thunderbolt monitors for that. Only they have enough bandwidth to diasychain.

No, that will not work. The HDMI port on the LG is an input, not an output.

Thank you everyone for the quick answer!

My LG only works in full-res with a DP cable so, in this case, a daisy chain wouldn't work right? Because I would have to connect the two monitors with the DP and them the LG -> Graphic Board with a HDMI adapter (from DP to HDMI).

One of your two monitors would need two DP ports (and both would need at least one) in order to daisy chain. If they did, you would only have to connect one of the monitors to your graphics card, and then connect the two monitors together. All over DP.

Got it! Thank you.
