      Most that I found had 1x HDMI, 1x DVI and 1x VGA and appears to only support one of them at a time.

      I've never seen one that only lets you use one at a time, but I buy Dell/HP. Their on-board video always supports both .

      Same, I've never seen any that only lets you use one at a time. Buy two cables... 1x HDMI to HDMI and 1x DVI to HDMI... or whatever your monitor has.

        How about drop the Dual HDMI and use HDMI + DVI or Display Port

        and then get Display port to HDMI adapter

        Cause most Mobo manufactures will make range and not dual.

            DVI is basically the same as HDMI, just another physical connector. So a DVD to HDMI cable or a DVI to HDMI adapter have just wires inside.

            Displayport however is totally different so it requires an active converter (as in something electronic).

              @scottalanmiller Converting DisplayPort to HDMI is fairly trivial. Would that open board options? I see a lot of systems with dual DP outputs.

              Just use a DP to HDMI cable for the connection. No adapters, all in the cable.

              I'd be okay with that. I saw one or two of those, I think. I'll have to do a search on that specifically.

              Most that I found had 1x HDMI, 1x DVI and 1x VGA and appears to only support one of them at a time.

              I'm running that way... DVI, HDMI and VGA...

                  I'm not opposed as long as the mobo really supports the HDMI and the DVI at the same time.

                    I don't think you will find a motherboard today that has limitations in the number of monitors you can attach to it.
                    So if it has two ports you can run two displays on it. If it has three you can run three displays on it.

                    I had a look at one motherboard for the AM4 socket, Gigabyte I think, that explicitly stated that it supported three and it had VGA, hdmi and dvi.

                    Also pick a mini-itx card unless you have some specific reason for a microATX, for instance the number of PCIe slots or something similar.

                    PS. Why do you need two HDMI? Do you have specific monitors in mind?

                        Price. Can't find a Mini-ITX for near the price of MicroATX. Looking at around $49.

                          Everything that I have is HDMI. ANything else would require adapters.

                            If it does dual output at once, I'll just get a cable adapter and get this one...

                            ASRock A320M-HDV AM4 Socket MATX

                              As mentioned before there are no motherboards that doesn't support at a minimum two outputs - if there are two outputs on the MB. Dual and triple monitors is something everyone expects today.

                              From the users manual:
                              AB350M-HDV/A320M-HDV:
                              • Three graphics output options: D-Sub, DVI-D and HDMI
                              • Supports Triple Monitor
                              • Supports HDMI with max. resolution up to 4K x 2K
                              (4096x2160) @ 24Hz / (3840x2160) @ 30Hz
                              • Supports DVI-D with max. resolution up to 1920x1200 @
                              60Hz
                              • Supports D-Sub with max. resolution up to 2048x1536 @
                              60Hz
                              • Supports Auto Lip Sync, Deep Color (12bpc), xvYCC and
                              HBR (High Bit Rate Audio) with HDMI Port (Compliant
                              HDMI monitor is required)
                              • Supports HDCP with DVI-D and HDMI Ports
                              • Supports Full HD 1080p Blu-ray (BD) playback with DVI-D
                              and HDMI Ports

                              Note that the resolution on D-Sub and DVI-D has is wrong above. It's the DVI that has the higher resolution.

                                Yeah @scottalanmiller, I just can’t imaging that the board you mention in the first post (or whichever post it was) does not actually run both outputs at the same time.

                                  Awesome guys, thanks. I'll just live with a DVI to HDMI adapter, good enough. That board was so cheap (read: nothing more than what I exactly needed) that'll it'll make the most sense.

                                    @scottalanmiller so now that you have an answer, I want to know WTF you are doing at the component level? I mean seriously. the time spent doing this intrigues me.

                                      He wanted to reuse the processor he already had - from the looks of it.

                                        No, just think that the A10-9700 is the right fit.

                                            Well - JB asked about component level - and Scott mentioned a specific processor - I assumed (wrongly as stated by Scott's comment) that Scott had a processor he wanted to reuse - that would be why Scout COULD have been looking at components instead of whole systems.

                                            Now that we know that Scott just picked a processor he liked - I agree with JB's question - time to look at whole system that fits the budget, don't worry about a specific processor, other than one that will get the job done.
