My Oculus Ready PC only has 1 HDMI port

I connect my Monitor through USB connection and I need to also connect the Rift to a USB port.


I found this Adaptor on ebay. Would this work, so I can connect both the Monitor and the Rift?

This is urgent. Please can someone say it works or it doesn't? I need to know if I should buy it now or not

If it's an actual "Oculus Ready Pc" it should have another HDMI port. look to see if there is any way to access the GPU's ports. Maybe it's hidden behind a plastic shield.

If it's urgent, you should go to a nearby retail shop and ask for the right adapter : You get the right advice, save one day, and if they provide you the wrong product you can bring it back right away for the right one.

But first check the box for adapters (and maybe a phone number), because it sounds crazy an Oculus Ready PC would only provide one HDMI, and even more crazy that you would be the only one to come complain about it.

Mine only has one hdmi. I'm running one monitor on dvi and a second with a DisplayPort to hdmi.

Yeah, I bought one of those Oculus ready PC bundles, mine came with a monitor that had a video connector the PC didn't even have. Only 1 HDMI port as well.  I ended up buying an adapter for the monitor and plugging the Oculus into the HDMI port.

...theres a HDMI right above the one your using? From what I can make out it has 2 displayports and 2 hdmi.

If you really do only have 1 HDMI then get a cable for your monitor to use display port.

The DK2 came with an HDMI→DVI adapter, does the CV1 not have that? Even if it doesn't, go and pick one up and use the DVI output on the video card.
