I bought the bigger monitor to play 4 poker tables at once, but since my old one was still nice I thought it would be cool to set them both up.

Cool. I have been using a dul monitor setup for several years. Mine are the old fashioned type with Cathod Ray Tubes instead of LCDs.

Four tables at once?!?!?! Jeez.

I did not know you could have 2 monitors set up, much less have them display different stuff like that. Neat.

Dual monitor display is always quite fun... I stopped using dual monitors a while back... one of them was too fuzzy to hardly even make out.

How do U do it? I bought a new video card that supports duel monitors but I see all the three outputs in the back are all different types, the monitor one, S-Video and one that I have no idea what it is, lol.

Can u buy a spliter or what?!?

Yeah, you just have to get an adapter, they are pretty cheap. After that, you go into display properties and tell it you have two monitors, and set them up how you want

I am assuming your second monitor imput is for DVI. Like Winston said, you can buy an VGA to DVI adaptor. The new flat screen monitors have DVI so I would make sure your monitor can't support that. I have one monitor on regular VGA and one on DVI. The difference is big, especially when reading text.

Awesome. I commend you on your setup

 

[Amocholes]

Mine are both VGA. I just installed a second video card.

Sweet Now all you need is an arm support attached to the wall so you can suspend one in mid-air, matrix style! Heh
