So I have a laptop that only has one hdmi port and 2 monitors, one monitor has only vga and the other has vga and dvi ports. I would like to have a dual monitor set up, so what is the best way to connect both?
 
Solution
If you use a splitter, you'll just duplicate the same view on both monitors. That defeats the whole purpose of having 2 monitors. You'll have to buy a docking station, if you want to extend the displays, i.e. have Excel open on monitor1 and Chrome browser open on monitor2, for instance.


thanks for the reply, but do you think it would work if I get a hdmi to vga cord for one monitor and hdmi to dvi cord for the other and hook those up to a hdmi splitter?
