[OPLINTECH] Looking to connect two monitors to one computer

[Chad Neeper]

Looks like you might have a DisplayPort output under your DB15 VGA output
on the back of the computer. You could potentially use an adapter like this
one
<https://www.startech.com/AV/display-and-video-adapters/Displayport-Adapters/DisplayPort-to-VGA-Adapter-Converter~DP2VGA#:~:text=The%20StarTech.com%20DP2VGA%20DisplayPort,active%20digital%20to%20analog%20conversion.>
to convert the DP output to VGA and use your existing VGA-only display. Or
if you have a display with other input types (HDMI, DVI), you could perhaps
convert to one of those types. Prices may vary depending on the conversion
type. We use the StarTech adapters fairly often to let us continue to use
existing displays with newer computers. But there are other adapter
manufacturers too.

HTH,
Chad
