Dual Monitors on XPS 8960
My son has a XPS 8960. It has integrated graphics with Intel UHD 770, no GPU. There is only a single display port to connect to a monitor, no hdmi, vga or dvi ports. He has two Dell monitors (se2722H) with hdmi and vga ports. We can hook up the monitors to duplicate but not extend. Have tried various other cables with no luck. Any ideas for him? Thanks

It is a shame that latest XPS Dell has only a single DP for integrated video, while in contrast Optiplex has has dual DP for multiple generations. Ideally you would like to do daisy chain DP 2+ monitors, but since your monitors has no DP, next option to invest in a reviewed top DP to dual hdmi converter which costs $49-50.

dual HDMI screen resolution up to 4K@30Hz
if light gaming is needed, then consider a budget discrete old video card such as GTX 1050/1650 which still beats UHD770. used GTX1050 cost $60 and has DP, HDMI, DVI.
