I have a desktop computer with displayport. I heard it was possible to connect 2 or even 3 monitors to it.
I heard not all displayport monitors can be chained like that. Which specifications do I need to look for?
EDIT: THANK YOU EVERYONE. YOUR INFORMATION HAS PUT ME ON THE RIGHT TRACK.
You need to have a monitor that supports daisy chaining, so it has an input DP and an output DP. Ive found them quite rare to be honest, I haven’t come across them often.
My Samsung monitor has it, and is usable for both the DP and USB-C ports. It’s there as it has a notebook docker in it, which can be repurposed to a normal USB hub on desktop.
Have you checked on the back of the PC? Most desktop PCs have the ability to connect multiple monitors by default.
Seems to be one displayport and the rest is mostly usb ports
Ah that’s too bad. Usually there is at least a HDMI or something extra. If you want you can post a pic for a second opinion, but I trust you if you’ve checked.
First time posting a picture. It shows the computer back. Do you see anything where I can plug in another display?
Nope, you were totally right, only the single DisplayPort port connected to the onboard graphics.
Thanks for taking the time to look at it. All of you guys are making Lemmy a great place.
