    What laptop do you have, and which ports are on it?

    I have a Lenovo T450.  I am using my docking station and I have two VGA ports, 3 usb 3.0 and 3 USB 2.0 ports.  Any help would be great!

    @DebC you are probably in the wrong section here (this is for some of the Acer desktops) for a Lenovo, but you should be able to use one of the VGA ports to connect a second monitor. If the monitor doesn't have a VGA port it's possible to get a VGA to HDMI adapter like this one to do it. Remember, not the cheaper HDMI to VGA! They don't go both directions...

    I'll see if they can move this to the appropriate section (Acer Monitors), but I think we've got it answered for you anyway. In the right section it'll be more visible to other monitor owners looking to connect via those ports.
