Cost of monitors
another thing, does it matter what connections a monitor has if its to be used dual? are there only certain types of plugs which can fit in a multi monitor capable gfx card?

according to me the Viewsonic rocked... i say it is the best of the 17" monitor lot... anyway,,
there are card that come with a DVI and D-SUB.. D-SUB beign the normat VGA connector... you connect your 1 st monitor to the D-SUB connector just as you would with a normal monitor... then use a DVI-DSUB adapter and plugin your second monitor.... and these types of cards are called dual-heads...
no... you can use any normal monitor for a dual-head graphics card..you only need the adapter(which came with my gfx card)..
hope it helps,

do you HAVE to have the adaptor? shouldnt the gfx card have 2 ports for 2 monitors if it supports two?
the only reason im asking is cos i dont know what to do, i would like to get 2 really good monitors, but seein as my budget is £1700 for an entirely new system...eep!
how much did both your really good monitors cost?
how cheap do you think a 19inch CRT (maybe TFT), and a 15inch TFT would be?

)mine, totally nearly costs about 1500 SR.. the viewsonic was a bit expensive, 980 SR...
roughly would come around 700$.... and 1700£ i think is enough for a good maya box with dual monitors....
questions are welcome..

btw, yes a graphics card should have 2 ports if you want dualmonitors,
another option: get a seperate PCI vga card for your second monitor... and windows will take the port of that with as the secondary monitor port,
Hope it helps,

i no im picky, but it must go with the theme (black case, black speakers etc etc)are there anymore like that samsung one? completely flat screen?
oh and my smaller monitor MUST be TFT and about 15minches otherwise ill have no room, my primary one can be TFT but that would cost quite a bit as i want taht one no less than 19inches

and one advice, never ever buy a tft without seeing if you like the image and that there are no pixel defect (you need to let you show a white and a black picture to see this).
