Connecting 2 screens

hpi · 12-10-2006, 06:03 AM

Well I have one flat pc screen and one of the old big screens. Can I connect them both so I have 2? If so how would I go about doing so

Well depends if you want to have the same image on both the screens or split them in half. If your graphic card has 2 plug in slots then its easy. Or you can buy one of those screen routers but it will only allow you to have the same image on both of them

I checked inback of my computer and I have no clue if another screen is connectable.

Can I use everest to somehow find out if I can take my other screen and hook it up?

What grahpics card do you have? If you know that then you can figure out if it supports dual monitors. Chances are that it does, unless it's a really REALLY old card, or if you have integrated graphics.
