Frequently Asked Questions

How Do I...
Set up my computer to use
two monitors?
Connect my monitor when the
monitor cable connector doesn't
seem to fit the connector on the
back of my computer?
Solution
If your computer has the required
graphics card to support dual-monitor
setup, then look in your shipping box
for a Y-cable. The Y-cable has a single
connector on one end (plug this
connector into the back panel) and
branches into two connectors
(plug these connectors into the
monitor cables).
If your graphics card has a DVI
connector but your monitor has a VGA
connector, then you need to use an
adapter. An adapter should be included
in the shipping box.
