i got some vga screens at home wich i dont use and i want to use one as a second screen but is it possible if i get a vga to dvi-d adapter to use that as a second screen??
You cant turn an analog signal into a digital signal. You can only turn a digital signal into an analog signal. So, dvi d to vga, but not vga to dvi. Do you have a video card in this desktop? If you do, you should have two outputs. Usually 1 for VGA and 1 for dvi. In that case you would plug one monitor to vga and then get a dvi d to vga adapter and connect the other. I hope this helps.
Here’s what you’ll need, a male dvi to male vga cable: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as…
Don’t you mean a DVI to VGA adapter perhaps? Now from what i know is that graphics cards came included with such an adapter, even the more recent ones like the R9 390X. So yes, you could hook up a VGA display with such an adapter.
