lordofcattown Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Hey guys, I was thinking about getting another monitor for my computer, and i was wondering if anybody else has dual monitors and what they're opinion on it is. Is it worth it? And if its not much trouble, could you send a picture of what it looks like in-game, i have seen tri monitors, but not dual monitors in-game. Thank you, Cattown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordofcattown Posted March 28, 2010 Author Share Posted March 28, 2010 oh, so ingame, one monitor would be the game and the other just whatever you want? Because with three i know that you can have an extended view of the game. Thanks for the information! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingless Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 I know there are some drivers that will allow you to extend games across two monitors, but I haven't ever tried it myself. One thing you'll have to think about is whether or not you're okay with the seam between the two monitors. It can be distracting to some people. Outside of that, I don't think I can ever comfortably go back to a single monitor for a computer I use heavily. Here's a pic of my setup from forever ago.

Deag1e Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 (edited) if you want to game on dual monitors you will either need a newer graphics card from nvidia or ati or you will need a triple head to go, other wise you will only be able to game on one monitor. trust me i have 3 desktop monitors and 1 TV hooked up my my computer.

Wingless Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 is that a wii next to that monitor? Yeah, that's a Wii. If you couldn't tell, that Toshiba is actually a 1080p TV, so I have it running through component cable. Then again, I don't really play the thing anymore because the game market is kind of stagnant.

Mike is Fr3sh Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 I use one 27in monitor. its sick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhiberOptik Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 All I have is one Vizio VL320M which is a 32" 1080p HDTV with full HD resolution, of course. I'm already happy with that. Only thing I would want dual monitors for is the fact that I have my satellite hooked up to my TV and I cannot watch TV and game simultaneously.

Guest The_Monkey Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 If you are going to do it....sometimes, you just have to do it right Big picture!! 3 monitors: 2 22" monitors in Portrait View (resolution 1680x1050 each) 1 30" monitor in Landscape View (resolution 2560x1600) Edit ** If you want to have task bars on each monitor, you will need a copy of Display Fusion.

Ice Tea Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 That would be pretty badass to have 2 big monitors connected. But if i wanted a big screen i would hook my desktop up to mah big t.v. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
