[halflifefan84]

hey guys, how do I play games with 2 monitors? I can mess around on the desktop with both of them working, but I can't play games with both of them.

additional info: I have a 9800gt, one monitor is using the vga to dvi converter, and the other is using just dvi I still have old drivers before I got this other monitor (if that matters)

[LilxRed83]

=D you guys made it so simple tu understand!! Thanks!! havent tried yet but it was simple enough for me to understand and to try to do it myself!!

[eisontv]

hei

i was just wonderin,

if im getting two monitors

should i get 22 or 24 ?

and what should the resòlution be in ?

Sendt til: ste1438

[howto4u]

@eisontv It depends on what you want. Personally, I like the bigger the better. The monitor will come with instructions that tell you the default/best resolution. Also your PC's video capabilities will dictate what resolution you can set.

[soccerjoker95]

please someone help .. want NVIDIA version drive is that ?

[duhbersh]

Omg i did this all by myself!, Never knew i had it in me!!

[gelvispro]

ti was so helpful ! thanks u guys !!!

[Goochy51]

do i need a graphics card to hook up two monitors?

[howto4u]

@Goochy51 It's easier if you have a graphics card that supports two outputs. You could possibly use your onboard video out for one monitor and then buy a USB monitor or USB converter for another monitor.

[junker1223]

@Goochy51 yes



[TheBenjiAk]

shes hot :E

[matrix86]

I actually use two different cards for my monitors, lol. I use the on board card for the secondary monitor, and the better add-on card for my primary monitor. This is a good solution for those who can't really afford a card with dual hook-ups.

[FiSTFigHT09]

hahaha it was a corny ass video but thanks it realy helpd :)... does anyone how to set up 3 screens so when you open up a program it extends threw 2 of the screens and to have the 3rd screen for any other program or thing that is open?

[TheMaster9124]

[EGFORFREE]

this is like a corny porno but it was helpful

[EasyWolf31]

LOL

[halflifefan84]

@EGFORFREE After the video he's like: "What do we do with the useless VGA cable?" and she's like "I know what we can do with it" *Porn music starts playing*

[TheJohnnyboy805]

Thanx this video really help me out...

[RedPanther1]

[tommyvaughn09]

ok i have an hp also. but i have the 22" w2207 monitor and i just got another one to do dual screen for music recording. my monitors have hdmi ports but my computer only has 1 of the blue ones they were talkin about. what do i have to do? do i have to get a new card that has 2 hdmi ports on it? please help! thanks

[tobias7777777]

yes

[deagle94]

your moitor has to have vga (blue) socket!!

if there is only one sucket to connect screens to,,,then you have to buy a ney graphics card,its like trying to connect 2 headphones into one jack,you could get an adaptor to use one port for both monitors,but it will be cloned(same picture in both screens) and just for the record,,if your graphic cart has only one socket,,it probebly not really made for dual monitor,

[CE186574]

this is a great video for answering my question!

[TomasZEX10]

s video is for tv or hd tv,

[shigalbigal]

what is the S-Video out used for ???

[mad00002]

You could, for example, connect it to a TV via Scart.

[03matherb]

One question..

how do i get my desktop to extend as its mirrered at the moment...

[shigalbigal]

Right mouse click>options>display (the last button..) you choose 2 (display 2, the second display...) and click "Extend my desktop to this monitor" ... adjust the resolution and you're done!

[03matherb]

thanks, next question how do i make my taskbar (/bar at the bottom) on my desktop extend accross the 2 screens instead of just on my primary screen

[shigalbigal]

I don't think this is possible, but you can always ask someone who knows better than me...

But you can do this: Install RocketDock put all your important icons on it and put it on the display with no start menu

[159Matthew]

I have a 22 montier and i want to hook a 32 inch palsma (not side by side). i am using the dvi cable to my 22 inch, so can i just connect a vga cable from my comptuer to my tv. I have the hdmi open but the cables cost to much because i need at lest 15 feet.

[imcoolioz]

yours r like mine!

[mochixchan]

omg i know that guy =0

[brazilianboiii]

wait wait.. my computer is the first one they talked about.. with the VGA... how would i connect duel monitors then?

[howto4u]

You need a graphics card with two graphics ports to connect 2 monitors. If you only have one VGA port (the first one Bernie showed), you can't connect dual monitors unless you install a graphics card with two connectors.

[brazilianboiii]

can't i use like some sort of split or something and would allow me to connect 2 ports?

[howto4u]

No, you can't use a splitter, you need two graphics outputs. :-(

[brazilianboiii]

ahh forget it then... :(

[deagle94]

go for nvidia only,,, best graphic card

[tobias7777777]

lol nvidia best graphic cards how i'm laughing. Lol I'm pretty sure that you don't even know ati und the 4000ers. The 4850 smashed on its released the double priced 9800gtx away. Nvidia changed their prices how they want to. But ATI was it who brought up grficcartes for payable prices. And that Nvidia smaled there prices down like their now are, shows clear for me that they make them like they want to.

Nvidia badly SUCKS!

[deagle94]

do you hvae 2 vga or one?????

[brazilianboiii]

uno only [only one]

[brazilianboiii]

well one on my computer... and the other screen im tring to get the view to is my Tv 32in... which also has vga

[benjaminnukic]

@brazilianboiii u can use a vga splitter i got mine off ebay for .99 cents

[colmanstephenson]

That Aussie guy is really hot!

[pamburrus]

This helped tremendously!! Thanks so much!

[KekkeiGenkai8]

[Irockman1]

Yes, it is possible.
