Inspiron 22 3264 AIO, dual monitor
My inspiron 3264 is not detecting my second monitor.
I have an all-in-one desktop inspiron 22 3264 I have purchased a second monitor a Dell SE2216H and connected via HDMI. I have selected the input as HDMI, and the monitor recognises the connection but my inspiron does not detect the monitor. I have downloaded displaylink, however, my computer still doesn't recognise my monitor.
Help please.

You do not have an hdmi output port to connect a second monitor. That port you tried to use is an INput for attaching a game box or other device. See page 14 of your manual--

What adapter did you order? You can't adapt an HDMI-IN to HDMI-OUT.
Your only option is a USB3>video dongle, where "video" is a port on the second monitor. Make sure the dongle supports your version of Windows, and the "native" (aka: "recommended" or "optimum") resolution of the monitor connected to the dongle.

Does that mean that with a suitable adapter the Inspiron can handle a 2048x1200 second monitor? Because I cannot find anything telling what the second monitor resolution limits are.

@JohnLagrue - You jumped into somebody else's thread, and we have no way to know if you have the same PC as the OP or...?
Are you talking about using a USB3>video dongle? First thing you have to know is what's the "native" (also called "recommended" or "optimum") resolution for the monitor you'd want to connect via a USB3>video dongle.
Once you know that, then you have to look for a USB dongle that can support that resolution and your version of Windows, assuming any USB3>video dongle can support that native resolution. If you can't find a suitable dongle to support the monitor's native resolution, you'll have to look for a different monitor with a resolution that a USB dongle can support...
