dual monitor question

GeoC · #1 04-23-2006, 02:26 PM

I have an NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 video card in my Dell which has 2 outs. One is analog which is in use with my 17" flat panel (analog). I'm thinking about ordering the 20.1" 2001fp Dell which is digital. Can I use both monitors together so I can 7 or 8 table?

Yes, assuming you play at Party or another site which offers a mini-view.
You can 4-table on the 20" but you'll have overlap on the smaller monitor because of its resolution.

You can use both outputs. Got the same card. I think the Dell 20" flatscreen will fit two game tables because it supports 1600x1200 resolution.

any special setup that I need to do other than pluging it in?

Sorry... response was a little late as I forget to check in all the threads I'm in. The best thing to do is make sure you've installed the latest nVidia drivers first. Then plug in your monitor, rt click your desktop, select properties, click the settings tab, then click the (greyed out) monitor to enable it. You'll also want to select whether you want to extend the desktop to this new monitor (usually yes) and make sure the resolution settings are to your liking.
