The way I want to connect a second monitor to my computer is by connecting the dvi plug at the bottom on the bottom of my monitor and I just wanted to see if I could do that. |

I'm pretty sure that you won't be able to add a monitor through the monitor that you already have. If you want to add a secondary monitor to your computer, I recommend getting another graphics card so that you can have more than one connected at the same time. |
|
If your computer has them, you can both the DVI & VGA outputs. As the others stated, daisy chaining monitor-to-monitor most likely will NOT work. |
|
That definitely won't work because the DVI plug on your monitor is input, while your monitor will need to be plugged into an output source |
|
No the plug on the bottom of your monitor is most likely INPUT and not OUTPUT. I would suggest, like the others, gettin a graphics card that supports multiple monitors. |
|
That won't work, seeing as the port on your monitor is an input not an output. You'll need to get a splitter or a graphics card with more than one output. |
|
The DVI most likely would be an input but even if you have an output one like me it's only a loop through so it would mirror your existing monitor |
|
The question doesn't provide enough information. All of the computers at my college have a standard video-out and a DVI. They have splitters for the DVI, so you can plug two monitors into the one DVI slot, and the OS recognises this as an extra screen. I'd assume that plugging a monitor into your standard video output would also result in a screen that the OS recognises as an extra screen. |

Instead of asking it here why didn't you just try actually doing it?
because I can't afford a second monitor right now
