• This motherboard comes with dual-VGA outputs that features different displays on 2 monitors at the same time if you connect 2 monitors to both the onboard VGA and HDMI ports.

•With the bundled HDMI-to-DVI conversion adapter, this motherboard can also support DVI output.

•Due to the Intel® VGA driver issue, display setting menu will show some resolution values that monitor does not support. When you choose the resolution setting that monitor does not support, this would lead to monitor black out. You can just wait 15 seconds for the system to return to the original setting or restart system and press F8 to enter safe mode. While in safe mode, change the display setting to 800x600, then restart the system and adjust the right setting for your monitor.
