Display Adapter Problem

Go to solution Solved by W-L,

I have one laptop with one vga connector with two other monitors i want to extend to. What is the best way to extend to these monitors. The laptop is a y410p and the monitors are 720p with vga inputs only (no they are not for gaming). What do i need to run these in dual monitor mode?

 

You can't extend two monitors via a single vga output unfortunately, you will either need to get a USB to VGA adapter to have both of those monitors or since you have an HDMi output on your laptop a digital to analog converter to adapt hdmi to VGA.
