I am using an ASRock Z77M motherboard. I am driving the monitor from the DVI-D Port (DVI1) on the back of the motherboard. There is also an HDMI Port (HDMI1) and a D-Sub Port (VGA1). Can either of these now unused ports be used to drive a second monitor? If not, do I need to buy a video card to drive the second monitor?
Some common tasks would be much easier if a second monitor displayed reference material needed to create spread sheets on the primary monitor.
Never mind - Just found an HDMI cable I forgot I had and tried it - works perfect. Sorry for the unneeded post but was trying to avoid buying a cable I did not need.
