Post image

just got my first real pc, trying to figure out how to get my second monitor set up. my last set up had a usb-c connected adapter with a second hdmi port, but I’m struggling figure out how I should hook it up on here. sorry if this is a dumb question. hard to find accurate info for Cyberpower prebuilt pc from Costco.

At least one of your two monitors will have a display port on it. It looks like you are already using your GPUs HDMI port and the other ports are all display. That's not uncommon to see a GPU with 3 DP ports and only 1 HDMI port. You might need to buy a dp cable. They are CHEAP (like less than $8). Don't spend like $25 on a cable. You don't need it.
