Dual monitor setup

[Sa1tama]

Hello!

I recently bought a new 1080p monitor, but i was wondering if i could use my other monitor too, but my GPU doesn't have a VGA port and i am already using HDMI to VGA adapter, so is there another way?

Maybe using a port on the mobo, but i heard that it won't work. Please comment if you know the solution to my problem.

Thanks in advance!

@_SAITAMA_ You can use DVI cable for the P221, and than use HDMI to VGA for the other monitor.

DVI cables are plentiful and cheap.

I thought so, but i could not find a single DVI cable. I searched for it in 12 or 13 different tech stores, but not a single one had it.

Since DVI I'd a bit of an old standard try looking in dollar stores in the tech isles sometimes I find them there if not amazon had them

Yeah or if you find someone willing to give up what seems to be a precious cable out there

Well obviously US Amazon will not ship to Georgia. Try your own Amazon. Or some other online tech store. 

They will 100% habe do cables.

Is there any way that i can do it anyways??? Maybe some tweaks in BIOS could help

Sorry. Off topic, I know.

 

Oddly enough, Americans can go to Georgia, visa free, for up to a year. I may just have to give it a go. Not quite as far from where I live.
