    Post your multi monitor setup

    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

    Re: Post your multi monitor setup

    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.
