Dual PC Monitor Setup help!!

[cjcmoney]

Dual monitor setup! I have a desktop PC with 1 VGA port and 1 hdmi port and no dvi port. Now my two PC monitors only have VGA inputs along with the VGA cables. I know I can put one monitor into the VGA input on my PC but what about the other. Will an HDMI-VGA adapter coming out of my PC work with the monitor? Or do I have to buy a converter VGA-hdmi then plug with hdmi cable into my PC?

umm... Either?

No matter how you approach it you need an adapter between the two standards, VGA goes in one end and comes out HDMI or vice-versa.

It really is that simple.

So the hdmi-vga adapter will work? I'm a little confused because the adapter say it will only work hdmi to vga and not vga to hdmi? Is the PC the one outputing the signal to the monitor or are the monitors giving a signal to the PC in which case the only option is to buy a VGA to Hdmi converter.

Its the PC sending a signal to the monitor, not that it matters since the adapter would work regardless of whether the VGA or HDMI is the source signal.
