    Hi,

    I'm looking to run two of these monitors

    SAMSUNG B2430H


    As there is only one HDMI ports, how can I connect to two of these monitors to use at once, or is that not possible? Thank you.

    It can drive the HDMI port and mini-DP at the same time?

    OP:
    If this is the case you just get a mini-DP to DVI adapter

    Check your local costco and even their website before buying from Newegg. Costco has a great return policy whereas Newegg's is terrible. You need like 8 dead pixels to return an LCD.

    I got lucky the only time i bought an LCD from newegg (with an ASUS 24") and promised myself not to repeat the experience.
