Hello,
I just ordered an Inspiron 3847, with Intel HD Graphics 4600. It came with only one VGA connection and one HDMI connection.
I want to do a dual monitor set up, with Dell P2214H monitors. However, I see that those monitors have DisplayPort, VGA, and DVI-D connections.
It appears to me that there is no easy solution, given the setup. I thought about from the monitor:
I wanted to be able to use the full HD capabilities of both monitors, and I see it states on the website for the Intel HD Graphics Card that it can support up two 3 monitors, in 1080p:

Are there other solutions I am not thinking of? Should I return the computers and ask for a different Video card, with 2 DisplayPort connections or 2 HDMI connections?
Thank you

DisplayPort cable, DisplayPortHub, then an HDMI to DVI Adapter
DVI to HDMI Cable, thenHDMI Hub, which does not appear to work as the DisplayPort hub, just splitting the signal?
