Dual monitors though 1 HDMI port
- by Carlos
I currently have a Dell Studio XPS 13 laptop connected to a 24" HP monitor (w2448hc). Im thinking on getting a second one, however am wondering what i need for the setup (hardware wise).
Also I was wondering it there is any down side to it, or something i should be aware of. For example, image quality loss, GPU overloading, or anything important I should know. More than anything Im interested in your advice.
Also the monitors do have built in speakers (HDMI sound output), is the sound going to be reproduced by only one monitor or both?
