Is it possible to connect 3,4 screen (lcd or monitor) with one pc. As I have seen some VGA cards having 2 outputs, also in windows xp display setting, there are options for two displays.
But I am confused ,how to accomplish 3-4 screens task with one pc. Can we connect two VGA cards in one pc, is there any mother board that support 2 vga.
Or is there any way else…
Re: Connecting 3-4 Screens wid 1 pc
There are Cards available upto six displays bit I can recommend a VGA Multiplier. Check for it u may find it much cheaper to have a multiplier than having a four or six output graphic card.
Re: Connecting 3-4 Screens wid 1 pc
I’m using the Quadro NVS card on my workstation. The 440 is capable of upto 4 monitors. It just has 2 interfaces but then u connect an adapter which splits and lets you connect 2 monitors to each interface.
Multiple graphic cards is an option too and has been around since the Win 98 days.
Re: Connecting 3-4 Screens wid 1 pc
This can be an example of Multi output graphics card. Usually corporate banks give that to their employees due to a lot of JD-Edwards etc windows they have to open.

Or, if you have a laptop that sits around doing nothing, before you dish out $$$ on new hardware try the software solution first:
Anything more than dual outputs seems to be expensive…what’s your price range?
Re: Connecting 3-4 Screens wid 1 pc
have been using ATI Radeon card with dual display....
but for all practical purposes its cheaper and better to use a display splitter....
unless u want functions like extended desktop....

does a multiplier able to display different outputs on all the screens. I mean, can we open different windows on different screens, at 1 screen, we look at stock market web, at second we look at a microsoft word document, at third we r watching a movie & fourth we are checking our emails.:D
Re: Connecting 3-4 Screens wid 1 pc
still the same question…able to display different windows in different screens…conside, the pc is reserved for stock market use…looking at multiple company 's values in the same time on 4 different screens.
Re: Connecting 3-4 Screens wid 1 pc
I’ll try this…but why it is only for laptop:confused:
Re: Connecting 3-4 Screens wid 1 pc
Multiplier wont do what u are looking for - then u need screen splitter (Extended Desktop) actually. Thats available too, just search around google.
Re: Connecting 3-4 Screens wid 1 pc
As Tofi Baba suggested, we are also using NVidia Quadro FX 3000 cards having quad outputs with NTI Veemux to display multiple screens on multiple displays (LCDs, projectors, Plasmas).
Re: Connecting 3-4 Screens wid 1 pc
Thanks , I'll do that......But about Nivdia quadro.....can I find it in Saudi Arabia.
Re: Connecting 3-4 Screens wid 1 pc
Also, I have seen quadro pics.........It has 2 output in its backside.....how we can increase it up to 4 outputs. is there any adapter available for it...& support software...
Re: Connecting 3-4 Screens wid 1 pc
You attach a splitter dongle to each output (interface), to which you connect 2 displays (VGA or DVI).

Is that comes with it..........so finally we can have 4 different outputs.......I guess it supports windows vista...:D
Re: Connecting 3-4 Screens wid 1 pc
Yes the dongles come in the box, both DVI and VGA flavors.
Re: Connecting 3-4 Screens wid 1 pc
The splitters amplify one signal to two... SO u ll be with one screen on two displays... What your looking for is extended desktop... You ll need to change ur desktop mother board to a PCI-e mother board which has two PCI-e x 16 Slots... U can opt for Nvidia SLI or ATI Hyper Link... Install two graphic cards with dual outputs that makes it 2X2=4 display outputs... My Company uses this settings... Not for One monitor movie and the other for various other tasks but just simple they have attached 4 plasma screens to form one huge plasma screen and the desktop blends in all the four plasma to form one huge screen... :)
Re: Connecting 3-4 Screens wid 1 pc
very nice & to the point Answer, well my boss has assigned me this work , but in Saudi Arabia it is not eazy to find latest hardware, but there are some places where we can...
I'll look for the thing you called, PCI-e
Re: Connecting 3-4 Screens wid 1 pc
Well , I got a nice solution & even I found it in local market. It is avilable for 2 different displays as well as 3.
