It is possible to have a duel screen system running with the Intel 55TC board. The system offers DVI-D, VGA and HDMI inputs. These 3 inputs can be used in a duel nature fashion, So for duel screens you can either you in the inputs in this combination:
- DVI-D + VGA
- DVI-D+ HDMI
- VGA+HDMI
You cannot get triple screens from hooking up all three it will not work. Splitters also will not work on this system. Please make sure if you wish to use this combo, you order a monitor with DVD-D input.

I tried to setup 2 monitors with this board and the DVI-D port doesn't work. I have a VGA monitor an the vga ports abd on the DVI-D port I have a dvi-d to vga adapter.
Only the VGA works, i setup in the bios the vga to be first and the dvi second.
The bios is up to date.
Do you a have other suggestions or ideas to help me on this?
thank you
