The Set-up of Multi Monitor Computers

 

The world we live today is a multi-tasking one and multiple monitors allow us to do so. While many people may think it's unnecessary to have many monitors, gaming and some demanding jobs require a space only multi-monitor set up can provide. When it comes to setting up a new computer, many people ask about the use of multiple monitors. It seems to be a common goal for many customers to use dual monitors or more and questions are raised on their set up.

 

Almost all modern video cards support at least two monitor outputs and other support even more. When planning to set up a multiple monitors for your Blue Aura Computer Systems you need to pay attention to what your monitors require and ensure the video card you get is compatible. Take a look at http://www.tradingcomputerstech.com/configure/system.php?id=08 Where a single video card is not enough to support the number of screens you want, two or more can be added. If you chose to employ more cards, it is strongly recommended to use cards from the same product line.

 

It would also be important to know that some motherboards have on board graphics which can run one or two monitors. The limitation of on board graphics is that performance is limited hence not ideal for gaming. More about this are explained at http://www.ehow.com/how_4547216_setup-dual-monitors.html. In addition, the physical set up requires you to arrange them neatly. For two or three screen the existing stands are enough but for four and more screens it is advisable to have some framework on which to mount them.

 

Once the physical set up is complete, it is time to set things on the software side. Window 7 computers have native management for multiple monitors which includes location of monitors, resolution and orientation. Once you plug everything, you should click identify to look at where the monitors are, on your desk. After rearranging the screens, adjust the resolution and the orientation. Adjusting will enable you move windows around between screens. If you want to set up monitors to duplicate each other, you need to connect the screens to the same video card.  Through the setting interface, you should go to multiple displays and select the duplicate desktop option.

 

Multi monitors computers, optimized for financial traders have various benefits such as displaying several programs at the same time, allow stock traders to view a lot of data at the same time and for gaming purposes. The above process covers almost the entire set up of multiple monitors. You should find professional advice in case any queries arise during the set up or check out various websites for answers.
