i do own 42 inch plasma tv, but maybe will sell it for dual monitors, but not for gaming.

It is for design. Easy for tracing and etc etc.

What do u guys think?

is it worth it?

The monitor that im going to look for is the AOC 23 inch IPS panel.

Opinion?

I tried DVI, VGA and even TV output but the resolutions is same what we did only once desktop cannot have different 3 types of resolutions

The choice for IPS panel is right IMO. But what brand to go i leave it to the sifu-s here. Good luck

I really hope i can make same like this too...

hye..

i want to ask something...
i have tried dual monitor...i'm using acer lcd both 17" vga...
my problem is when i use vga to dvi coverter for my 2nd monitor it don't detect but it's okay when i use my mobo vga for 2nd monitor...
my GC is asus nvidia GT 430..i have updated the latest driver....

thanx 4 all who answer my question..

I've tried before but resolutions only with 1 setting cannot set different monitor/tv different resolutions?

My friends said if u wanna do multiple monitor is better u get's the amd gc but someone said nvidia is much better if u wanna do for graphic work but not for multiple. It's true?

Depends. AMD's Eyefinity is good for more than two monitors on one card due to it using a DisplayPort connector that has it's own clock, something that nVidia still don't have. Not only that, each monitor in an Eyefinity setup is independent thus you can use monitors with varying size or resolutions and mix them up and it will still work.

Nvidia on the other hand could only support two monitors per card, and 3 if you are using SLi (nVision mode). The problem with nVision is that you can only use 3 exact same monitors, and they are configured as one large monitor instead of 3 separate ones, something that for me is an issue as I don't want one large space, I just want multiple workspaces.

for graphic work, it's due to popular graphic softwares like the ones from Adobe are optimised to use nVidia's CUDA technology. But unless you are doing a very large graphic work or video editing involving a lot of HD vidz, the difference can't be detected in real life.

Owh, but if i do hybrid with amd & nvidia can i get advantage for both gc like amd for different size monitor and nvidia for cuda?

Sharing my setup at work..

I see DELL 17 INCH LCD on right! am i right?

Yes. I am doing just that actually. GTX570 SLi --> main gaming monitor/Adobe Premiere, HD5450 --> 3 other monitors

if I do that is it will take a lot of electricity? Scared my electricity bil will extremely high later...

Not really, since the HD5450 is not a powerful/power hungry card.

if u want more monitors together with awesomeness, u need the ooomph from GCs and sacrifice more money into the bills lol

Owh, but i already own AMD HD 6870 151 watt gc so which one nVidia gc i need to buy for low power consumption but still great!

I use 2 monitors... when working one will be where all the tutorial/reference/instructions and other one is actual working space... save me a lot of time and very efficient.

sorry didn't read any other posts, just responding to the thread title.
