What are the prerequisites before you set up a second computer monitor?


  • Compatible Computer Monitor: It should be work in Windows XP or later. If it's new, it probably does, but you should still check to make sure.
  • Compatible Video Cable: Most likely your CPU and monitor use a VGA or DVI-I interface, so you just need to make sure they've both got the same kind of port. If not, you need to pick up an adapter.
  • Compatible Video Ports: Monitors are typically connected to either the motherboard or the graphics card. Most graphics cards support two or more monitor connections (e.g. DVI, HDMI or VGA), while most motherboards support one and sometimes two (e.g. VGA or S-Video).
  • Supported Operating System: The OS must have a features for controlling configuration of the video controller e.g. Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 or Mac OS X.
