Hi All - I have an ATI Radeon HD 1GB 5450 graphics card. It has 3 ports - 1 x DVI, 1 x HDMI and 1 x VGA port at the back of my PC.
I woudl like to hook up 3 monitors - 2 x VGA (only) LCDs, 1 x VGA/HDMI/DVI LED.
The system works fine with the two VGA monitors. I have a VGA to DVI adaptor connected to one of the VGA monitors.
I recently bought a BenQ RL2450H LED monitor with VGA/DVI/HDMI input ports on the back and have been unable to get the computer to recognise the 3rd monitor.
After searching these forums (they are a great discovery by the way, thanks to all who contribute), I think it's because the video card can only use 2 ports at a time.
Is this correct? Do I need to get a new video card? or is there something I am missing?
If I need a new card, can anyone recommend a card which will accept all of my three monitors.
I don't use it for gaming, I just want 3 desktops for business purposes.
Any help would be appreciated?
thanks
Fred
