This machine comes with 2 video outputs - one HDMI and one VGA. It also has an expansion slot for 1 video board. If you have two HDMI monitors you would need to either add a expansion card, or get a VGA to HDMI converter for the built in output. Either way - two monitors. In actuality, if you added the expansion video card, I think you could run 3 monitors with this machine.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This computer does come dual monitor ready. There is 1 HDMI port and 1 VGA port. Depending on what ports are on your monitors, you may need an adapter or a Universal USB docking station. The other alternative is to install a discrete graphics card with the ports that you need. I would recommend reaching out to a blue shirt in the computer department or a Geek Squad member at Best Buy.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.As noted by others there are both HDMI and VGA outputs on the computer. Purchased 2 HP VH240a monitors which likewise have HDMI and VGA inputs. Concerned about adapters for 2 HDMI, I 1st tried one on HDMI and other on VGA. Can NOT tell the difference at at 1920 x 1080. Not a gamer - just browsing and office type work.
