Thanks everyone for the replies!!
This sounds promising, I will be using it for work so it doesn't need to be amazing just needs to work. I looked up the sunix usb to vga adapters and found two... which one did you use?? I am guessing it was the top one
SUNIX|VGA2614|USB 2.0 HI-RESOLUTION VGA ADAPTOR | CPC
or
SUNIX|ST122LE|USB POWERED 2-PORT VGA SPLITTER | CPC
