Help with Computer Monitor

[Lisathedinosaur]

I bought a new monitor for my workplace. It connects via VGA. However, my desktop dosent have a VGA or DVI. What do I do?

*****Edit*****:Motherboard has a VGA slot. I bought a dual monitor.

Yes, thanks for enlightning me 🙄. If you read the edit, I have a dual monitor setup. I thought "some" people would understand that I need a VGA setup, but no :smack:.

Couple options. You can get an inexpensive video card for the second screen, or (and the cheaper, easier option btw) you can get a dvi to vga converter.

Like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814998101
Less than $5 shipped.

You said you bought a Dell U2412m monitor on 19 March in this thread:

Can you put these together? The Dell has VGA, and three other connectors. Is it the "dual?" It is confusing when you post related threads in different forums.

you can get a dvi to vga converter.

That would be my choice. They cost almost nothing. Esp on ebay.

I got one in case my screens all die and I have to go back to my old Acer 4:3. Will not happen, but made me feel better.

Edit: Gotta say, it is unimaginable to me any new or even relatively new screen would only have VGA.
