| 1188015 | 2011-03-21 05:51:00 | Anyone used the above VGA Y cables before? Just wondering as need to connect another monitor to a computer that I can't add a graphics card to :thanks | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1188016 | 2011-03-21 06:07:00 | Yes, I have used them... what about them? | The Error Guy (14052) | ||
| 1188017 | 2011-03-21 06:11:00 | Do they work fine, thinking of getting one for SWMBO as she needs a second monitor now as she is testing a new system and needs to have both the old one and new one open at the same time | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1188018 | 2011-03-21 06:58:00 | Well they do as well as expected. I mean, its just duplicating the display. ONE thing to be wary of, monitors should be the same resoultion, aspect ratio etc. since it is ONE signal you can't set multiple resolutions | The Error Guy (14052) | ||
| 1188019 | 2011-03-21 07:33:00 | Since it is just a Y splitter cable both monitors will run at the same resolution and display the same thing (clone). If you can't add another graphics card you can get USB-VGA adapters that will do pretty much the same thing and give you the option of running a second monitor as a second desktop. That will cost more than a cable of course. |
