Hello guys,
This is the first time i m adding a second monitor to my desktop. So I have no idea whether there are any compatibility checks that i need to do.
Right now i m using Dell S2240L monitor using HDMI on my 'Asus TUF B450-plus gaming' motherboard. I m thinking of adding Dell P2419H because of no hassle of buying VESA stand.

The motherboard has empty DVI slot right now. So i m thinking of using DVI to HDMI cable for the new monitor.

So as a newbie, I want to know from you guys, whether i will face any problem with above scenario.

P.S. Used to have graphics card, but it fried few months ago, so not thinking of buying any until graphics card prices settle down (hopefully) since desktop primarily used for work nowadays.

You can directly use the DVI port instead of HDMI converter.
