First, the disclaimer, let me say that I maybe wrong with what I am about to say. Also I am assuming like me, your HP 27f has only one VGA and two HDMI ports. There are no other monitor port interfaces. Since the VGA & HDMI ports on the monitors appear to be configured for input only, it appears that daisy chaining one monitor directly to another is out of the question. However, I have two possible suggestion. If your PC has multiple HDMI ports and/or VGA port(s) and/or HDMI configurable HDMI ports vis-a-via and adapter, you can connect your monitors directly to your PC. If you have only one HDMI port, you can buy an HDMI splitter which takes one HDMI input and splits it into two HDMI outputs. Note: be careful of the splitter you use. Besure the splitter has either a compatible USB or an electrical plug in for additional power. In either case when complete the plug-in, the operatiing system, for example Windows under SETTING>DISPLAY will give you the option of the second monitor as an extension or a copy of the first monitor. Again, these are my findings. Someone else may have some other thoughts and techniques. BTW: I connected my HP to a Dell, different size monitors and it appears to have worked. Good Luck!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes You will need to ask what wiring is needed to have a dual screen setup.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Bios setting change or Control Panel app for your video card to activate the dual ports. Then in the OS change your desktop settings for what was called dual monitoring (old term for laptops) now it's just display settings. Chaining monitors is not a thing. Monitors are input only.
