Hooking up two monitors, help.

[Jay Tolstoy]

Hi everyone, I have a Asus 21534 LED HD Monitor Black MODEL: VX228H SKU: 5818083, hooked up to my Dell i7559 throughh a HDMI cable and I want to add a second one. What is the easiest way to go about it? Do I need splitter?

Thanks for any help!

A splitter would only clone the video to both monitors.

What connections do you have on the computer as far as video is concerned?

It looks like he's got a Dell laptop. If you want to connect more than 1 external monitor to your laptop, it looks like you'll need Dell's docking station (D3100)

Your link doesn't work. Besides, They don't make docking stations for Inspiron laptops.

Hmm... weird, the link works for me. The "docking" station is connected via usb 3.0

At least when I took a look at the Inspiron laptops, that showed up as one of the accessories.

It's working for me now, and that should do the trick for him.

Great, thanks for taking the time to reply. I'll look into buying it.
