I want to order another monitor that matches my current one.
LG 32" Class FHD IPS FreeSync Monitor From Costco.
This only has a HDMI input & my Dell XPS 8930 only has one HDMI output. The computer does have another display output port. Does anyone know how to proceed or what kind of adapter I need?
Thanks for everything

Re: Dual display monitors
I cannot be certain but would a displayport to hdmi adapter be a possible solution?

Re: Dual display monitors
Just to be clear, your monitor has one unused HDMI input (TWO HDMI inputs total), correct?
You could add a PCIe graphics card with an HDMI output to the Dell. (Or add a card with two HDMI outs and use those ports exclusively).
Alternatively, just buy a different model monitor, with a DisplayPort input.
