graphics card - Dual/Extended monitors with VGA + HDMI to DVI

I want to buy two monitors for using with my laptop (without using the laptop's screen)
My laptop has VGA and HDMI outputs.

1st scenario:

VGA output of laptop -> VGA input of monitor +

HDMI output of laptop -> HDMI input of another monitor.
I tested extending screens with this scenario and it worked perfectly.

2nd scenario:

VGA output of laptop -> VGA input of monitor +

HDMI output of laptop -> HDMI input of HDMI2DVI converter -> DVI output of HDMI2DVI converter -> DVI input of monitor.

For the 1st scenario, I have to buy 2 monitors which have HDMI input.

For the 2nd scenario, I can buy 2 monitors which haven't HDMI input (cheaper than 1st scenario, because this type of monitor is cheaper than HDMI monitors).

Does the second scenario work? (extended screens, not mirror/same screen)

Answer

It will not be a problem. HDMI and DVI use the same signal, being that HDMI carries sound and DVI doesn't.

You can confidently buy a DVI monitor.
