ERRATUM: I just got PMed by someone saying that 9800GT cards and similar have dual DVI connectors, so I realized Black's problem was more of a configuration one rather than "plugging both in". Sorry.

@blackangelsensui:
Just connect both monitors to your VC. If you have ATI run ATI CCC control panel, then monitor setup, choose between the modes: Clone (same out put on both monitors), Extend (Expansion of your destop), same thing for nvidia.

Take note in clone mode, it will follow the lowest resolution of the monitors with the lowest resultion between both and in this mode, you cant have two different resolutions.

In extended mode, you basically expand your monitor real estate having more space to work on, eg: you an have your adobe photo shop on the other while the other screen can have a browser open etc..

When watching a movie you also have different functions, ill continue this later, im in albeit of a hurry now.

Hope this helps.

QUESTION TO THE EXPERTS:


I was just about to start a new thread then I saw this. Sakay ko bai ha nakoy question.

I have two monitors setup- Clone Mode. But when I play a game, usa ra ka monitor mugawas ang game, is it possible nga sa duha nako ipagawas ang game? Unsa nga setup sa video vcard settings on both ATI and NVIDIA aside from clone mode?

@ryan ... the game needs to specifically support dual monitors. It takes extra developing for games to support dual monitors and also extra video card power since you aren't spanning resolutions to both monitors ... but actually drawing extra pixels. Two 19" monitors would be > 1 24" at 1080p. Very useful though for games such as WoW.
