Vga Video Splitter
To setup dual Monitors I can use a vga splitter?
I can see on amazon I can get a vga splitter for around $10. However a graphic card with 2 vga inputs is much more expensive.
My computer has a video card already, so I really don't need all the extra stuff, but for some reason a $10 "splitter" seems to simple and I think it may need a converter or something.
My question is, will the vga splitter work?
A VGA splitter only duplicates the same image onto two monitors. It takes the video signal meant for one monitor and duplicates it into two identical signals.
You will NEVER be able drive two monitors independently (display different images on each screen) using a VGA splitter. If you want to drive two monitors independently, you need a video card that supports two monitors.
