I want to connect 2 x 24" monitors into my laptop. So first I try to buy USB to VGA adapter it did the job but resolution was way to little. I need 1920 x 1080 (optimal reso for 24") in shop one guy say that there is some HDMI splitter also.

Anyway i am all confused and maybe someone here can tell me what is the best way.

If i put monitor into HDMI then monitors screen will not come up even. In VGA is no prob.

Laptop isint anything special.

Intel Core i3-2310M
4GB RAM
15.6 HD LED LCD
Intel HD Graphics 3000 (intregrated)

Where or what i can change in setting that it would work then?

Does your laptop have DVI-D support? If not you'll have to see if it can run both the VGA and DVI/HMDI output at the same time.

You'll need to post detailed specs of your laptop, a model number at minimum, so we know what your options are.

Hey RobertDaPro,

Hows it going?

Did you manage to resolve your monitor issues? I've found a guide to connecting monitors to Packard Bell laptops, simply click here to view the guide.

Please reply to this post and let me know if the guide was of any use to you.

Take it easy,

Mark.

Go to desktop and press the right button at the mouse, after go to resolution of video (something like that) and check if the 2 monitors are on.

This thing works only for duplicating monitor pictures, but what use would be this for me to see same tables on 2 screens?

I want to extend my displays and that would require second graphics card or external adapter etc.. but i also want 1920x1080 resolution.

Same prob here.. that would not be possible to extend desktops.

Still looking for help with that question :( 1 monitor is sitting here without use until i figure out how to get it done

I think that this might be it as it says " resolution video support (up to 1920x1080) "

You must have video card then that supports 2 monitors. I got laptop with useless video card and as far i understand not possible to run second monitor without external additional video card!
