Quad lcd setup

Most stands are build to hold up to inch displays but some can support up to inch. Make sure you check with the manufacturer for the loading capacity and the weight of your monitor. Even with a dual monitor setup, you can have a horizontal side by side setup or a vertical one on top of the other configuration. Likewise, three monitor setup can have all three monitors side by side or one on the top row and two on the bottom row side by side. For a four monitor setup, a two by two setup is most common.

Two monitor side by side in a row with one row on top of the other. More rigid stands are pole based with the central arm made from a single sturdy pole. Sometimes a second pole or bar is added horizontally to hold more than two monitors. Premium monitor stands offer full motion swivel with articulating gas spring arms.

These let you move, swivel and tilt the screens to suit your viewing angle and avoid glare, offering maximum flexibility. Arguably the most popular multi monitor stand and also the most affordable for any multi-monitor setup, the dual monitor stand mounts two displays horizontally. You also get a choice of free standing or desk mount variety. Use the links below to access the different dual monitor stand on Amazon:. The most common triple monitor stand are those that holds the monitor in a row horizontally.

As with the dual monitor stands, you can get either a free standing version or a desk clamp mount. For more information about these stands, click on the links below to access the product page on Amazon. These mounts and stands are capable of holding up to four monitors with a few different configurations.

Not as common as the other mounts and stands, Penta Monitor mounts are available in free standing or desk mount versions. These mounts will carry your monitors in two rows, the top row features two monitors side by side while the bottom row features three monitors side by side.

This is the only configuration you will get for a five monitor setup. Like the five monitor brackets, you get two rows, with three monitors in each row. I would like to setup three or four monitors on my computer.

I want the screens to have individual properties but also be connected in a panoramic fashion. Can I add more video cards or should I get a ready made unit that supports several monitors? If so, where's a good place to look for one? A couple of questions first.

Do you want to game on these or not? When configured that way the outputs on the secondary and tertiary cards are disabled because they only act as processing units. However I know with ATI control panel you can turn CrossfireX on and off without rebooting so this could be a minor conveneince and not a show stopper. Now once you have everything in and connected you can either use the video control panel or Windows display properties to organize and configure the monitors.

I don't have Nvidia so cannot speak to it. But for the most part what you ask for is doable. You can usually add more cards to a computer but that depends on the desktop. In general I recommend that you stick to the same chipset on all cards. Some functionality is lost. Also the chipsets should be capable of running from the same driver version. On a laptop you would have to go to an external device such as the Matrox TripleHead2Go adapter.

You can just use two seperate graphic cards to support 3 or 4 monitors. A single consumer card will happily run two monitors but most do not support a 3rd monitor unless you purchase a higher end professional card. Alternatively you can buy an adapter such as the Matrox Tripplehead.

But I do not recommend that as the maximum resolution on each monitor is limited and it would be better to simply use two graphics cards. You don't need very fast cards. Make sure you have a motherboard that has two PCIe x8 or faster lanes. You do not need to use SLI or Crossfire technology for setting up multiple monitors but I would recommend using cards within the same brand to limit complications.
