Solution hang-the-9 Feb 21, 2018 You can get an external USB 3 video card with an HDMI port if you really want to use HDMI https/www.amazon.com/dp/B00H91BQ7Y/ref=sspa_dk_detail_2?pd_rd_i=B00H91BQ7Y&pd_rd_wg=qKTa7&pd_rd_r=9FHMMXZQXPC5WC0X4X2C&pd_rd_w=Bpm4f&th=1 Just make sure your system has USB 3, I would not use a video card on a USB 2 port, too little bandwidth.
