Can I add a second monitor and have the computer use the two monitors with different program outputs on each?

If it has hdmi cable then yes, if your second is using dvi or vga input then you need the adapter for the hdmi.

Nope. One should do you just fine. Your computer should us the existing display driver for the first one then this will drive the second monitor.

You can run two monitors from the dual outputs of the mother board and you can also add a video card, download the motherboard manual from the website and both methods are explained. I just hooked up a second monitor to my board and configured both monitors in the AMD Control Center, very simple.

yes, we have 2 monitors set up on this computer. We had to order cords for it I think.

Yes you can but you will need an HDMI to DVI cable for the second monitor. This is how mine is set up

nope, you plug this into an usb port, let the plug and play install the drivers, then connect a second monitor.

This only allows one additional monitor to be plugged in. In addition to a currently running monitor. This will not allow you to run 2 monitors plus your standard monitor. It will only allow a +1 monitor

It has an HDMI port so you should be able to use dual monitors with a monitor that has an HDMI port.

Naturally no, but its potentially possible to use 2 of these at the same time if you buy an adapter that allows for dual monitors.

No. This will duplicate what you are seeing on one monitor to another one. It will not enable expanded desktops or separate monitor areas. Was pretty darn disappointing.

Yes you can, however, one of the ports are VGA (analog signal) and the other uses DVI (digital video input).

Please be more specific. What is it that you are attempting to do? Are you trying to add a monitor? Do you want to view (2) at the same time? Perhaps (1) or the other or both or? I'll be happy to offer assistance once you clarify. :)

Yes the Dell Optiplex is capable of displaying two separate monitors. Mine has a dual feed output cable from the monitor output plug.

Yes, you can have each monitor showing something different. Each monitor can be at different resolution. For example, I have one monitor that is 4k while the other monitors are not. I have some monitors that are the same size and some that are not. I have one monitor that is always playing a movie while the others are doing other things.

Only on one computer, the number one, and only if supported by your video card. There are KVM swiches available for dual monitors, they are expensive.

Yes you can, though i'd recommend using through mini display port if you just want to link the monitor, unless you want to link to a tv i'd use HDMI. However yes you can have total of two monitors in extended mode

Never used it that way but I have with other windows systems. There is only one old fashion type monitor port. If one of your monitors works with a usb port I would think it would not be a problem.
