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?

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

Yes, that's what I meant...should have made that clearer, sorry.
You want to make sure you are only using your graphics card ports!

Don't use that other HDMI up by the USB ports! That's the integrated video of your motherboard. If you use that, you're not going through your dedicated video card, and you'll have crap performance for gaming or VR.

Yea this pissed me off when I got mine. It's a simple fix, but unacceptable considering it's supposed to be "Oculus Ready".
Anyways, I ended up getting an HDMI (female) to Display Port (male) adapter to run my monitor through one of the like 4 display ports. That freed up the only useable HDMI for the Rift.
Needless to say I had gotten an Asus 19" monitor with my bundle and it ONLY had VGA out lol. Ridiculous considering the VGA out on my rift ready PC comes disabled anyways.
But yea, if you haven't done so already, get yourself one of those adapters. They run about $8-12
Also the minimum suggested age to use the Rift is 13, why would you buy it for a 9 year old?
