since you are not into games naman, just buy the video card which is cheap, that can handle both connections.... (HDMI and VGA).
just make sure that the video card is compatible with Mint. As i said earlier, baka hindi pa updated ang driver configurations ng mint on the newer cards..... subok ko na yan sa Ubuntu, not on Mint.

If you're doing CAD, animation, etc. , having multiple monitors is a lot more intuitive than clicking through several windows. Some coders also like that setup, they code on one screen, see the results on the other. Same with network admins who need to monitor servers, etc.

...and it looks cool ^_^

Maybe it's the firewall?

After several months eh bumili na ako last night ng video card (Palit NVIDIA GEFORCE GT 730). Konting ayos lang sa BIOS up and running na sya. Still using Linux Mint (17.3)...
