What I was planning on doing was using my current 19" Proview and most likely buying an Acer 22" moniter for the second.

Hi username,

I have a setup with two 22" Inch BW226 Samsung screens.
This with two ATI Radeon 2600XT pci express cards.


Are you planning to buy 2 new monitors?

If you buy 2 new screens, make sure they come with the same displaypanel, so you can easily get the same color settings on both screens.

I don`t have a setup like option 2, but a videocard with 2 DVI outputs.

If you buy a new videocard choose one with 2 DVI or VGA outputs like the Ati Radeon 2600XT (DVI) so you don`t need a extra converter to get two of the same output connectors.

I'm looking into going the dual monitor route. I currently have an HP Pavilion 1630n with onboard video. I've been told that I would either need a new video card like this (below) and then shut off my onboard video in the BIOS.


or maybe try something like this
..............

Does anyone use something like option 2?
