Howdy Folks,
I'm having an issue with using Dual Monitors on my work computer. Basically, we upgraded my computer to a Dell XPS 8700. It has an Intel i7 processor, and an Nvidia GeForce GT 720 graphics card. The graphics card has (3) outputs, an HDMI, a VGA, and a DVI-D. The two monitors I am attempting to use is an AOC 2230F and an Acer AL2216W, and each monitor has both a VGA and DVI-D input.
I understand that DVI-D is a digital signal and VGA is an analog, but it appears that these monitors can process both; they have the option of switching from an analog signal to a digital signal, and so forth based on the signal input.
When I connect both monitors and boot up the computer, the Dell boot screen along with the Windows 7 splash screen appears on the DVI-D connected monitor, and automatically switches to the VGA connected monitor when the log-in screen prompts. After I log-in, the computer only reads the VGA connected monitor and does detect the DVI-D connected monitor at all. Any help with this would be much appreciated.
Thanks ahead of time!
