I have a desktop computer with displayport. I heard it was possible to connect 2 or even 3 monitors to it.

I heard not all displayport monitors can be chained like that. Which specifications do I need to look for?

EDIT: THANK YOU EVERYONE. YOUR INFORMATION HAS PUT ME ON THE RIGHT TRACK.

    Have you checked on the back of the PC? Most desktop PCs have the ability to connect multiple monitors by default.

        Ah that’s too bad. Usually there is at least a HDMI or something extra. If you want you can post a pic for a second opinion, but I trust you if you’ve checked.

          Back of computer

          First time posting a picture. It shows the computer back. Do you see anything where I can plug in another display?

            Nope, you were totally right, only the single DisplayPort port connected to the onboard graphics.
