What i know is that atleast the cpu (graphic card) should have two ends (D-sub and DVI) to connect to two different monitor.
Chose expand the desktop under screen resolution and
Now you can have fun dragging the windows from one screen to another!
thats a really great experience if you wanna watch some movie while surfing net
or video chat during online gaming!
I was able to tried dual screens (20' and 19') since i ve gt one extra LCD at home
but unfortunately the BenQ LCD is blinking all the time. Annoying.
Anyone else here tried dual monitors or even triple screens?
share your experience in using it

My friend wanted dual monitor also so i told him to buy another monitor which looks the same as his current one. I got the video card for him HD 5450 at 185 at ikano. So he gave me his whole system with 2 monitors for 2 days which i set it up for him. Installed graphic driver and those utilities that help manage dual monitors.
His old monitor was a samsung 23" and his new one is 24", not a very visible difference, as long as they can support the same resolution 1920x1200. Its really a nice sight coz i got him some wallpapers but is has to be 3840x1200, very nice. But preferably the monitors with as thin borders as possible, so theres not much gap in between the pictures.

Dual monitor is not an ideal choice for gaming, but it's perfect with 3 monitors.
If you are using ATi video card (the HD series), you can use the Eyefinity to setup a unified wide view for your desktop (wider perspective so to speak), compared to the 'Extended' desktop feature.

Cause gaming for dual monitor u end up using one monitor ( except other games such as supreme commander series. ). Even if u're planning to use one screen on gaming and another for surfing or watching movie. It might not be a good choice cause everything you click your browser or your movie application, the game itself will automatically minimize back to desktop. So it is quite a hassle to do so. But then if you are using for watching movie, + surfing net or surfing net + playing facebook game or photo editing. Then it is good for you.

Using ATi Eyefinity technology will certainly expand the peripheral vision by threefold when using 3 monitors  |

I remembered in 2001 I bought Matrox Millenium G400 Dualhead Max AGP just to enjoy dual monitor with desktop spanning and games. It is really cool for multitasking. Nvidia and ATI technologies in multimonitor aren't that good at that times.
I work with graphic design, video editing and programming (php/html/asp) at most times and really need large and extended desktop space.
My next purchase would be another used monitor and dedicated GPU (low power) to drive the monitor. Seems if I connect 1 GPU to multiple monitors will force a GPU to clock faster to supply greater graphic demand even in idle.
Perhaps needs a better VESA table mount as the next monitor need to be rotated and easy management. My desk is has very limited space and different monitor types looks so ugly on the same PC.

QUOTE(dakwan5555 @ Feb 25 2011, 02:44 AM) How about 3 or 4 monitor? How to setup? I use dual video card (ATI 5770 crossfire) and connect to 3 monitors. 2 x 42" LCD connecting using HDMI and 1 x 24" LCD using DVI. Of course you can use a video card that does have 3 output but based on my experience, the image is a bit sluggish. Also you need to be sure you have enough power to run those. I'm using 700W power supply. You can use the Windows Display Properties to setup. But most video cards have their own program to run and manage the display much better. If you are looking for some budget type, you can probably get a VGA or DVI splitter. |

ya it can be set as "extended" or "duplicate"
when playing 2 player games eg PES 2011 then I'll change it to duplicate but when normal racing session I'd use extended to view information on the CRT while racing on the laptop.

Been using dual monitor since 2004 when I was at Uni. Our tech lecturer let me lend our uni's old and unused CRT, and my first dual monitor setup was with the FX5500 card. Granted it was only two 15" CRT at 1024*768 each but it was cool as no other students can fathom how it was done.
Now running dual monitor at workplace and triple monitor at home. The extra space is a must for work, especially during coding or photoshop

I am using an RM99 HD5450 to power 2 extra monitors for my PC, and that is the cheapest card you can get in the market today |

QUOTE(Jet23sky @ Jan 7 2011, 03:42 PM) Cause gaming for dual monitor u end up using one monitor ( except other games such as supreme commander series. ). Even if u're planning to use one screen on gaming and another for surfing or watching movie. It might not be a good choice cause everything you click your browser or your movie application, the game itself will automatically minimize back to desktop. So it is quite a hassle to do so. But then if you are using for watching movie, + surfing net or surfing net + playing facebook game or photo editing. Then it is good for you. any solution to this problem? want to try 1 monitor for gaming, another for surfing d web. is it possible? |

DualHead2Go and TripleHead2Go are external multi monitor adapters that let you connect two or three monitors to your laptop or desktop computer. They connect to the video output of your system and use its existing GPU to provide high-quality, uncompressed graphics and video across all monitors. These little black boxes are perfect to bring multi-monitor functionality to computers with one monitor, such as systems with integrated graphics or with no available expansion slots, or systems that are already closed and validated.
Connects two or three monitors to your system, and lets you see more, do more.
Supports VGA, DVI or DisplayPort monitors or projectors running standard or widescreen resolutions
Works with laptops and desktop computers, PC or Mac

That would suck, especially in FPS and RTS gaming where you are moving your mouse outside the monitor boundary. Usually the executable will contain the mouse inside the game itself if it detects the edge, but if you say it won't pause the game, would that mean either
CASE 1:
in game, you cannot change monitor since the mouse is locked inside the executable region
CASE 2:
In FPS or RTS, if you move your mouse outside the monitor boundary, you leave the game and go inside another monitor, which would render teh game useless especially in RTS where you need to move the mouse to the monitor's border to move around the map

it can go mixture of multiple screens from multiple PC. but fore safe maybe at 4 PCs at 1 screen each or 4 PCs with 2 screens each. It is part of the new KVM switch technology that enable you to automatically switch from PC to PC with the advance mouse movement detection. You have to define each screens resolution and combine orientation and upload the configuration into the KVM switch. When your mouse movement slightly across the edge of a sceens, the KVM switch automatically switch to another PC. What DrBlueBox has described is the normal scenario for multi-screen PC. And won't happen to this. This is something new! Checked this youtube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=playe...d&v=XpfdyOaI4BIOr search youtube with this keywoard "ADDER CCS4USB" |

Games like battlefield 3 eats up vram like crazy. QUOTE(fridel @ Feb 3 2012, 08:28 PM) I wonder it cost u how much for triple monitor setup? Its about rm3.5k altogether including the gpus not all games work with 3 monitor setups tho unfortunately and it can get a bit dizzying at first  haha! But u can set the resolution back to regular 1920x1080 and u can play normally with the middle screen again on the fly whenever u need to. |

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?

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.

Multi monitor doesn't need super powerful GC. That only apply when you want to play games in multi monitor. For normal windows usages like browsing or typing letters and so on, just a normal GC that support multi monitor will do. You can still play games under 1 monitor if your GC not powerful enough. No need to waste money on GC just for normal desktop usage. |

Erm, the monitor is a Samsung, 14 inches I think. Not sure about resolution but I think it's 1280x1024.
I'm sorry but what do you mean by hardware? If you're asking if I'm planning to reuse anything else; nope, just monitor.

the three monitors, all also more than 3 years of history, one i brought from my friend, one belongs to myself, and one i brought from my brother. so i can't really pinpoint the actual value of how much i paid for these three monitors but i can estimate maybe rm1500++ , of course, that time i brought it was a lot of years ago. now you can get THREE 22" with FHD at less than rm1.2k
i just hope that the monitors can last for a few more years, if one is damage, it would be hard to find that model and not feasible to replace it with the same old model.
my casing is another thing. total is 6K, in hope to last for 5years of gaming or more until then, just change the GPU. i think nowdays is getting cheaper if you want to setup a triple monitor setup. a single GTX680 or ATI card can do triple monitor easily and three monitors are not that expensive anymore. for example, 21.5" Samsung is just at rm395.
rm395 x 3 = rm1,185.
my speakers G51 was also from 4 years ago, brought at rm300-400, can't remember, 2nd hand i got it. everything looks cool but a lot of things from ancient time already hahaha QUOTE(darkddly @ May 23 2012, 09:00 AM) monitor plus ur rig casing..lolololol cun la...

QUOTE(chaosneo @ May 23 2012, 09:16 AM) the three monitors, all also more than 3 years of history, one i brought from my friend, one belongs to myself, and one i brought from my brother. so i can't really pinpoint the actual value of how much i paid for these three monitors but i can estimate maybe rm1500++ , of course, that time i brought it was a lot of years ago. now you can get THREE 22" with FHD at less than rm1.2k
i just hope that the monitors can last for a few more years, if one is damage, it would be hard to find that model and not feasible to replace it with the same old model.
my casing is another thing. total is 6K, in hope to last for 5years of gaming or more until then, just change the GPU. i think nowdays is getting cheaper if you want to setup a triple monitor setup. a single GTX680 or ATI card can do triple monitor easily and three monitors are not that expensive anymore. for example, 21.5" Samsung is just at rm395.
rm395 x 3 = rm1,185.
my speakers G51 was also from 4 years ago, brought at rm300-400, can't remember, 2nd hand i got it. everything looks cool but a lot of things from ancient time already hahaha I miss those series of Samsung back then, infact the one i have is 931BW, sooo sexy. How i wish they still in production |

this maybe not so related but do let me share it anyway,
how does Diablo 3 fares on triple screen monitor? totally cheating! hahahaha
Pros:
1. on the left and right of the screen, you see monster spawning far away before you even reach them. especially good for scouting elite & rare monsters abilities.
2. some boss fights are extremely useful.
3. some range abilities has quite far range, in which this case, i can cast or shoot almost one screen away, far from triggering enemy into detecting my presence.
Cons:
1. Team Players information is too far on the left side on the left screen.
2. Inventory Page opens too far to the right side on the right screen.
3. When in stores, the Store page opens on far left and your inventory opens on far right, totally long mouse travels but then again, with some shortcuts buttons, this can be easily nullified.

used to think 3 screens are great to use as racing simulators...
but the fact hits me when I think deep, that during full concentration, I probably won't use the other 2 monitors any more than 10% in a race.

Mine using 1440 X 900 on both monitor so i can put 2880 x 900 wallpaper. Try this method first see if can work. First, right click on your desktop and choose personalize. Then click desktop background, you will see on the top that says picture location. Change to your actual picture location and change your picture position to tiles.

speaker stand came from Ikea. It is originally a lamp stand that clamps onto table so it works well here with a little bit of modding. yes it is good for surround, really feel the awesome effects especially in games like BF3 where bullets zipping pass from left to right.
was planning to make it 7.1 or 7.2 but the last two rear speakers i have problem attaching to my chair to position it slightly behind my head. ops... a bit off topic here... |

just wondering if anyone has tried these 2 softwares for dual display ultramon displayfusion apparently if lets say one monitor's max reso is 1600x1200 and the other monitor is 1920 x 1080 ... by right ... BOTH monitor's reso is supposed to be set maximum as 1600 x 1200 right? these softwares apparently are able to utilise individual monitors' max reso .. meaning one monitor gets their 1600 x 1200 and the other gets their 1920 x 1080 .. i have yet to test this out as I am still surveying my 2nd monitor ... cheers |

Not to worry bro the GC were smart enough not to use that much resources if shut down. It will use some RAM though, but not by that much, probably in idle mode.

looks fun with dual display! going to setup new CPU, isit possible to display with primary 1 20" LCD monitor and 1 40" TV? coz I really needs more space to display reading text on the side while working space on primary screen. I guess it should not have any problem as long as my GC support 2 output right? anyone able to confirm me or anyone had tested? I know the outputare not rerecommended for size difrences but since I oredi have this lcd n TV in my bedroom.

Yes, it is possible, but you need a multiple monitor software to do that. I have tested a lot of them, and the one I found best for now is Actual Multiple Monitors. Works great. I have used it for over a year now with my triple monitor setup. This post has been edited by chron3z: Sep 21 2013, 07:05 AM |

What I've read so far is enable igpu on bios and set it as main display first in order for it to work. |

Just got a BSOD just now and had to restore to earlier point  I think it got corrupted with my other visual tweaking tools that's why. I guess I have to uninstall all the other visuals stuff before continuing. Will get back here after finish And yup it works well and all buttons are working just got the wierd start screen there lol |

Is it possible to set up 3/4 monitors with just 1 HDMI port? I mean i do have other ports as well, but I just want to use the HDMI port and connect it to multiple screens, but sadly i have only 1 hdmi port.
Im using a GTX960. And I'm currently using 2 DELL SE2417HG.
Will a splitter work? Does it just clone the screen or allow extended desktop?
Thanks..

I tried it once and it decreased my resolution to 800x600 for both monitors. Use a converter, i.e. HDMI to DVA. |
