   The Three main ways to Setup Multiple Monitors

   1) You can buy a pre-manufactured multiple monitor computer. The best place to purchase a multiple monitor computer is at: http://Multi-Monitors.com. They carry a multi-monitor computer line called SUPER PC that can support from 2 to 12 monitors (or more if you ask).

   2) You can get a USB to VGA Adapter, or USB to DVI Adapter that will allow you to add an extra monitor to your computer via any USB2.0 Port. You can also add multiple extra monitors by using multiple adapters. This is a great option for viewing documents, surfing the web, using Microsoft Office and many other business tasks. This is not a good option for intense graphical situations such as HDTV, Blu-ray, Gaming and 3D / CAD Workstation applications. For those types of scenarios, it is highly recommended that you purchase a high-powered multi-monitor workstation or a Matrox Dual or Triple Head2Go.

   3) You can replace or add an extra video card to your existing computer, depending on how many monitors you wish to support. Although this sounds easy enough, this is a rather complex solution for a beginner, especially when trying to find a compatible graphics card. For this reason, I am going to write an entirely seperate post on that topic and will link to it here, very soon.

   Once you have your multiple monitor system set up and ready to use, you will need to enable all of your monitors in your “Display Properties” Control Panel. Here is a great link to a complete and animated walkthrough of how to enable your multiple monitors in Windows.

   Get an additional video card or multi-monitor adapter.
   http://www.multi-monitors.com is a great place to look.
   They have a lot of solutions. I got a Triplehead2Go from there.
   It’s really nice for day trading and much more solid than the USB adapters.

   You got to have a video card that supports dual monitors. Actually you will need two for 3-4 monitors. You might want to check out the NVidia Quadro card. It supports 4 monitors. Here is a link:

   After you install the video card, you will have to setup the screens in your display settings. Here is a link to a good tutorial:

   The easiest way is to just buy an additional video card for each monitor and plug them into your motherboard.

   But you might also want to consider the rest of your computer if your going to add that many monitors. Running 2 or 3 more monitors is a big task for a computer so unless your computer is really powerful then I wouldnt suggest it.

   You are basically asking the computer and your power supply to triple the work they are doing. So be sure your processor is fast enough, you have enough RAM and maybe think about upgrading your power supply also.
