Whats that thing i need for DUAL MONITOR setup?
 

I asked this before but cant find it in search.

Dell 1800FP's want then to be one single monitor....whats that thing i need?

you need a dual headed video card

cool any recommnedations?

All the new ATIs can do it.

Or you can add a cheap 2nd video card depending what you want to do with your second monitor...

I have 2 monitors on my Macs and the 2nd one is used to put photoshop tools and stuff like that, so in don't need greatest quality on that 2nd screen :)

could be better one's out there but that's one for a reasonable price that has dual DVI outputs instead of one DVI and one VGA like most have.

makes me wonder what kind of girl you are rubbing one out too that you require two monitors ?? :Graucho

Matrox makes the best dual or tripple monitor option, vid cards. :-)

buy the card from dell since you have a dell system

they have tons of margin in them...so hit them up for a discount..they will have the record of what you have bought inthe past

all you need is a second video card :thumbsup

I have an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro came with my Dell Dimension
has One DVI and one Analog out

true i bought alot of shit from those fuckers

i want to setup 2 monitors soon.

If you don't need anything huge to play games and such I highly recommend these Matrox G550s.

We have about 10 of these for the office and the DVI is flawless. No unwanted shadows or distortion on the second monitor after 2+ years of use. Surely someone else can vouch for these cards :)

make sure you get yourself a dedicated rep

they have them for small business etc


they will discount you to heaven..if they think you will buy servers etc from them

as that is how their commission structure is set up

Matrox Parhelia is the shit, best card i have ever used and you can do 3 monitors with this card or 2 monitors and tv out at once. I havethem on 2 of my workstations

Matrox makes some awesome ones, just about any of then are going to be really nice
