Need to hook up 2 vga monitors to a win 7 pc. The pc only has one vga port. But it has a hdmi port. Not for gaming, just work.
I tried the 2nd monitor setup through a vga to hdmi cable but it just sits there black with "check signal cable."
2nd monitor is an lg2241
Tried:
- multiple re-boots
- downloaded a driver from LG but don't see that it did any kind of install. Double clicking it's zip file opened it and clicking on the three files did nothing but open gibberish code.
- at screen resolution I see multiple displays and I have it set on extended.
- Clicked detect and identify
- #2 says display device on vga
- tried unplugging and reconnecting the cable (hdmi to vga)
What if I use this cable:
http://www.amazon.com/Generic-Adapter-Converter-Laptop-NoteBook/dp/B007PLL4CK/ref=cm_cd_al_qh_dp_i
which I believe would connect to the hdmi out on my pc and I would then connect a vga cable to that and run it to monitor #2.
Would that work? Is there a better method for connecting two vga monitors to a pc that just has 1 vga out, 1 hdmi and a few usb?
