What does ittake to run two monitors off of one computer???

[Testosterone boy]

I would like to run one horizontal and one vertical for looking at vertical photos.

Sure I can flip them in photoshop but I work with hundreds at a time and it gets old plus some of the files are over 30 megabites.

The vertical monitor would be a flat screen TFT...should be fine veritcally. I'd like a swingarm for it when the price comes down.

Thanks

I am guessing that another wire is in order and a special card.

See.........you are not really two thick!


j/k.......yea that seems quite logical.

Maybe wizkid is hanging around, he probably knows the cost and has recommendations.

Thanks

If I am not mistaken... XP has this capability already build in. You just need an additional connecting cable.

you'll need a video card that supports dual monitor display.

If I am not mistaken, both monitors are either horizontal or vertical. I need one of each.

I run dual monitors on my comp right now. I have a pos gforce4600 w/ dual outs. My desktop is just reallly wide lol. I also have my tv hooked up that automatically fullscreens any video played.

Matrox dual monitor boards are the cheapest

You can also just add another regular video card.

What you want is Pivot Pro.

"If you use multiple monitors, you can have one monitor in landscape and one monitor in portrait mode or both monitors in portrait mode. Please note that multiple monitors are supported only in Windows 2000, XP Home, and XP Pro. "
