You can make dual screens work one way or another. From what I've seen, you can add another videocard that isn't in SLI (assuming you have a board with 3x PCI-E slots) and configure it to support 2 additional monitors. I've also seen EVGA offer some solution where you can connect your monitor to a USB adapter and actually get another screen that way. It's not the easiest thing to do but I know I've heard stories of people getting it to work.

sounds familiar.

basicly what someone has already said. add a extra card to power your extra LCDs.

i would look more into the issue of your comp not working with the big screen you got. has to be a configuration setting in the TV that is not allowing it.

on my 32 inch, my DVI port is input 7, but my LCD defaults to input 4, which is a HDMI. i also have a gaming mode which is also off the input 4 on the TV. so i use a HDMI with a DVI adapter going to input 4 on the TV.

havent had any issues at all

21" cornerstone CRT dated back to 1996.....does 1600x1200 75hz and still has a great picture. Id buy an lcd, but 24" or bigger is the only way ill go and im cheap lol.

I'm running a Dell FP2001 LCD and a 61' Samsung DLP. Use the FP2001 " when the wife wants to watch TV. Give me a few to find some batteries so I can snap a few pics.

I have this exact tv and I LOVE IT. Great for showing off games

I love it. The colors are good, there is no lag when I'm gaming and I have no issues with it like dead or stuck pixels. It is very bright right out of the box but thats really the only thing I have adjusted on it. The only con is that it really doesnt power off when windows sends the power off, it pops up a connection box. I have read lots of people all up in arms over it and taking them back just for that To me its just a minor thing that I just push the power button at night.

About a month ago I got an LG 26" W2600-HP and today I got another one for some dual view S-IPS goodness

I unpacked it and checked for dead pixels - there were none

and then put it back in its box, tommorow I'll be going by LG's service center to get it flashed to the latest firmware

I will post photos tommorow, right now I'm thinking of removing the stands and installing the monitors on the wall in front of my desk...

As promised, here a couple of crappy photos of my (temporary) setup:

And yes, the keyboard is almost as old as I am, I have the monitors hooked up to the s939 system on my sig.

nightelph · Oct 4, 2008

Very pimp setup, Sil. Yea that keyboard is dated, but you 48" SIPS display setup is quite impressive.

I got a 24" Dell E248WFP and a 22" Samsung 220WM

I really hate this mismatched resolution. I want to replace the Samsung 22 with either a Dell 2408WFP or the cheaper 2007FP non widescreen 20". I figure the 20 could be used with my current 24, and later with a 30 in portrait mode.

David · Oct 7, 2008

Acer 22in I got on the cheap - 1680x1050 which makes me now hate any resolution lower than that. Plugged into my HP usually (when it's not away for repair...) which usually does 1440x900 on its 17in screen.

Ideally I'd like a 24in CRT with an insane resolution but I don't have the desk space for it!

When I have the cash I'd love to replace it with a 32in 1080p HDTV, but, "when I have the cash" is at an indeterminable time in the future.

Pic pending if I can find one...

EDIT: Found one!

19" KDS rad9. After 5-6 years of heavy use and many lan parties zero dead pixels and working like new.

I also just recently bought a 27" Samsung. I love it!
