Hello everybody!

I have a HP 6710B on a docking station, the docking station has a analog and dvi-d output, but HP said the 6710b is not compatible with the dvi-d output. Therefore I only have one analog output. I have 2 22" monitors I would like to hook up. Right now I can only utilize one via the analog to analog connection.

Is there a way to go from one analog to dual screen analog?

Thanks

You Could use a Spliter cable. You will have the same image on both monitors and not be able to extend your desktop. To extend your desktop you need a video card that has 2 outputs.

You can go from a single analog output to dual monitors via a DualHead2Go. It's a small external box that connects to your analog output and allows you to hook up two displays. Unlike a splitter, you can put a different application on each monitor or extend one application onto both monitors. There's also a triple head version if you wanted to connect three displays.
