I loved having two monitors...so much that I doubt I could go back to one. My video card is low end but will handle two monitors, which is awesome. I tried to hook 3 up to it but the card would only run two at a time. So, a friend of mine gave me this to play with:

Adapter

This little gem allows you to hook up a third monitor via usb. So thanks to this I know have 3 monitors to use. I love it. The desktop space I have now is amazing. I would recommend it to all if your lookin to hook up a second or third monitor.

I love having 3 monitors, would be lost without them now,

Thats  great bit of kit, a bit expensive though :(

Yeah they are a bit expensive but as my friend is gonna sell this to me cheap, I might as well grab it until I get a better video card.

I have a USB-C to VGA adapter at work works great. My old laptop could do 3 screens with the card (2 monitors, 1 laptop).
The new one can only do two. Work paid for mine I think it was $50 a few people on the team had a $10 USB one it did work 90% of the time they had issues with drivers on Windows 10.


Bigguy

Hey glad to hear from ya Nesa. I don't think I could do without 3 monitors now. It's so much better than two, lol.

I believe I still have one in the basement but haven't been in the attic in quite awhile so there may be one or two up there. LOL

Hell, I don't have the table space for those anyhow. LOL

Bigguy

Ya can always find room for one more. :rgton

Back down to 2 monitors for now. I need to find a vga to dvi adapter to get back to 3. I updated my ram again to just over 8gb and my video card. I went from a 512 mb ati radeon to a nVidia geforce gt 730 4 gb onboard ram :hdan

8gb ddr2 RAM
nVidia geforce gt 730 4 gb
3 Tb sata drive (with two backup drives)

Ok, so I am back to 2 monitors but one is a 23 inch Samsung wide screen. Which I use as my main one and then an 18 inch Acer. I could hook three up but the way I had the third one hooked up was going through usb, which made it slow.
