Hey everyone! I'm trying to set up my office PC with two 27" Full HD monitors. The monitors have HDMI and VGA ports, and my PC features an AMD Ryzen 7 5700G processor with 16GB of RAM, running Windows 11. I successfully connected the first monitor via HDMI, but I'm having issues getting the second monitor to work with VGA. The image drops intermittently, and the screen shakes and resizes. I've tried adjusting the refresh rate through the AMD Adrenalin driver and using CRU, but no luck – the 59.94Hz setting doesn't even show up in Windows. What's the most cost-effective yet reliable solution to get this second monitor running? Should I look into a cheap graphics card or maybe some type of converter? I appreciate any advice!

If your PC has a USB-C port, you could use a USB-C to HDMI cable as long as it supports DisplayPort Alt Mode. If not, consider USB 3.0 to HDMI adapters which can be quite effective for your needs. They’re generally affordable and should solve your issue without too much hassle!
Thanks for the advice! Unfortunately, my PC doesn’t have a USB-C port, but it does have a couple of USB 3.0 ports. Appreciate the suggestions!
