It comes with 1 VGA and 2 HDMI ports
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.These monitors have HDMI and VGA inputs, so you need display adapters for either of these for each one, depending on the outputs from your PC for video. It is nice to have a choice of VGA or the higher-resolution HDMI, either of which these monitors will accept. If you are using them together you should probably use the same input on them so the display and resolution will more closely match between the two. This also means the same display adapter will be needed for both monitors.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It really depends on what ports are available on your PC. Does your PC have integrated graphics or are you using a video card? If you have multiple ports on the PC for video, then you can plug multiple monitors in. This monitor has 2 HDMI ports & a VGA port. If you're setting up 2 of these, your PC will need at least 1 HDMI & 1 VGA port. You'd get a better picture if you had 2 HDMI ports though. If your PC has a display port or DVI port, you'll need HDMI to display port cables or HDMI to DVI cables.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You shouldn't need an adaptor, so long as your PC has two HDMI ports available. If not, there are HDMI to VGA, HDMI to DVI, and HDMI to Display Port adapters out there that will make it possible for you. I personally had to use an HDMI to DVI adaptor, as my PC's video card only has 1 HDMI port and this is the second monitor in my setup. Hope this helps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.That will depend on whether your tower has two outputs, and what kind they are (HDMI, VGA, DisplayPort etc.) It's impossible for use to say without seeing the tower. But the monitors will accept HDMI or VGA, so if for example you have one HDMI and one DisplayPort, you will need an adapter from DisplayPort to HDMI for the second monitor.
