    Hi. Look, I have a problem, I bought recently working jumps dell laptop workstation to connect two additional monitors, one succeeded, azd r ugim I have a problem because the station has DVI-D outputs, i.e. only a digital signal.
    I get to the heart of the matter, you have an idea how to solve it, because in the DVI-D connector there is no place for these additional 4 pins, and I have a DVI-I to VGA cable, and how to connect it to make it work? Is there a cheap DVI-D to DVI-I adapter? Does there have to be a special converter for this?

    And it is on these 4 missing pins in the DVI-I connector is an analog signal
    which you miss.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Visual_Interface

    No conversion between digital signals is used - DVI-D to DVI-I
    You can buy a signal converter from DVI-D to D-SUB for that.
    Price around $ 100.

    I've seen and I'm not convinced that it will work on any graphics card.
    From the DVI-D Dual Link connector specification, it comes out that two full digital signals are given.
    Citing technical data - "DVI-D digital only, single link or dual link".
    I am saying that this grommet will not work, it will not give us an analog signal.

    Converter, not the one for 2 smokes.

    The cheapest ones don't always work properly.

    After how could you buy a laptop workstation? Maybe you bought a docking station also known as a port replicator?

    Maybe I called it wrong, I mean the docking station :-)

    Exactly something like that,

    He adds that I wanted to connect 2 monitors to these outputs (video signed), and because of that I couldn't, because I wasn't looking at it.
    I have one monitor connected via displayport, and the other one for VGA currently, but it does not meet my expectations.

    I thought to try the second monitor through displayport, but I do not know if 2 additional monitors will want to work on such adapters, I would add that I wanted to do it and have 3 screens, two monitors and the third would be a laptop screen. On it I would like to operate only the desktop and icons, and on other programs.

    A piece of plastic is just a shape adapter, not a signal converter. I somehow had DVI-D to VGA in my hand, of course no monitor woke up. At least with me. And I'm not surprised because one is a digital signal, the other is analog. In my opinion, an adapter with signal conversion is needed.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around connecting additional monitors to a Dell laptop workstation that features DVI-D outputs, which only transmit digital signals. The user is facing challenges in connecting a DVI-I to VGA cable due to the absence of the necessary analog pins in the DVI-D connector. Various solutions are proposed, including the use of digital to analog converters available for purchase, with prices ranging from PLN 20 to around $100. It is emphasized that a simple adapter will not suffice, as a signal conversion is required to connect DVI-D to VGA. The user also considers using HDMI as an alternative connection method. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding the differences between DVI-D and DVI-I connectors and the need for appropriate converters to achieve multi-monitor setups.
