inspired by the "Post your rig" thread

a place for people to show of there multi monitor setups

post a pic of your setup plus some info about your screens (size res etc) and how you have them setup (twin view, seperateX, etc)


Il start

Sreens Hanns.g HW173a 17" wide scren 1440x900 (each)

using nvidia twin view

i just need some trunking to hide the wires, and a wireless mouse/keyboard and it will be perfect
im thinking of replacing the desk with 2 shelvs: one for keyboard/mouse and the other for the amplifier

Can't be bothered taking picture at the moment, but I have a 24" (i think) on the left running 1680x1060 and a 17" on the right running 1280x1024.

Using ati, xinerama, and yes, it was an absolute pain in the backside to setup correctly. The ATI drivers are actually rubbish.

so you ask, so you shall receive

This is my dual Eizo L685 setup.

When it's dark:

I also give vertical orientation a go every once in a while but then I remember how much of a pain it'll be with my other computers so I switch it back.

and my setup, gotten kinda messy, need to clean it up a bit

Is there a noticeable drop in video performance when running a dual port card (8800GT card here) on 2 monitors? I've been toying with the idea of sending my 2nd port out to the living room NTSC TV via an AV sender. Primary screen rez is 1920x1200 and VGA rez max for 2nd port.

I also have a dual HannsG set up ;) 19" though, not widescreen.
However, I tore it down; just moved.

I had 3 keyboards the other day. I do run multiple computers quite often though and have them hooked up to different computers.

Just had to disband mine... I had dual Dell 20" 1600x1200 LCDs at work, but my internship ends tomorrow, and I had to give one of them back.

Check out my Multi-Monitor Computer (http://www.multi-monitors.com/SUPER_PC_Multi_Screen_Computer_Multi_Monitors_com_ p/mmcptp01.htm) setup. I just took a picture of it.

This computer is a "SUPER PC (http://www.superpccomputers.com)" from http://Multi-Monitors.com

You can even see the Ubuntu forum on the screen!

This is the same exact model as this Youtube Video below.

It is a budget homemade multiscreen pc Win 7. I have great resolution and fully functional. I have a Quadro card powering this monster. Day Trading is my game and my system paid for itself.

Asus + PNY NVIDIA Quadro NVS 450 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express Graphics Card (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9359981&type=product&id=1218090911553) + 2 23in Dell + 21.5 Dell + 19in Gateway = Bad A$$.

dam , nice setup! , considering you have 4 screens in a relatively small place, it looks pretty neat / compact, some time tomorrow I will take a pic of my new dual screen setup as one of the screens in the op broke so i replaced both of them.
