computer monitors

[ving (David)]

ok you techies...

how can i run multiply monitors from 1 computer... showing exactly yhe same thing on each screen?

if u'r computers fairly current.. u can either upgrade u'r video card to a dual head, or quad head card.

or if u'r running win xp u can just add additional pci graphics cards..

the drivers will support multiple displays.

yes you can no matter what OS you run you can buy a box from most good computer stores that will allow you to "split " the signal being sent to your monitor into two identical signals... i cant think of the name of the box so ill have a look around for the name and cost..

if you wat to have twice the desktop space you have now you can run "dual monitors" if you video card has a WHITE connection on the card SPARE.... you can get an adapter that changes that white plug back into a normal monitor connection...

Hope it helps.

Ving for what purpose are you going to run the same image on both screens ???

netter off going the PCI way.. cheaper.. plus then u've got the option to span the display as well.

I agree - but PCI video cards arent as fast - not good for gaming - but at least you arent taxing the power of the chip on the main vc by spitting/mirroring/sharing - i think in some cases that you need to reduce res to do this, and you still get some laggishness, unless your card is already gutsy enough?? Disclaimer: I only have a vaque understanding of this subject mind you also depends wether your using VGA or digital too? MiG? you there?
