any limitations if i get a 2nd monitor that is HDMI ? my default one is dvi, this second screen i have only has VGA and HMDI, my gcard (rad 290x) has HDMI, so just need to find a cable
I use 2 monitors , and I have used them as follows..one HDMI and one DVI-D...and it was fine...in fact the HDMI one I was running at 2560x1440 via DSR ....both are 1080
You are correct all you need is a DVI to HDMI cable and you will be fine, things only change when you get to your third screen as you will need to use an active display adapter for the third one
You can buy a HDMI to HDMI+DVI+VGA converter, just find it on amazon. converter box is much better than cable as it's built-in chip to convert the signal from HDMI to DVI or VGA.
Just done that a couple of days ago. New monitor is now my main one connected via HDMI, older monitor on DVI-D, different resoltions as well. No problems at all, just set up through windows.
