Identical Multiple Monitor Displays 2

[vinkavich]

I need to be pointed to instructions/assistance that can tell me how to display the SAME screen view on multiple monitors using the WIN98SE multiple video card feature. There are a million URL's on how to extend the desktop to multiple monitors, but I want the same information displayed on multiple monitors. Even MS Tech articles say it can be done but no instructions are provided. Thanx

I don't know how many monitors you want to display on at one time, but if you use a Monitor Splitter you can display on many monitors with only one video card through an external box. Do an internet search on "Monitor Splitters" to find a supplier.

Hope it helps.

Thanks Paul, I was trying for at least (4) want to set them up in a large classroom. I thought if I can figure out how its done I can purchase a couple of those double monitor video cards and run the whole thing from one box.

Well, it could be a hard try to punch even two of these double monitor cards (that all use an AGP slot) into the single AGP slot your mainboard has, don't you think?
Then, monitor splitters are not that big - normally less than 10*10*20 cm - so if you have a computer anyway this little addon should not be the problem. Just my oppinion.
My suggestion would be the same as Paul's... allow thyself to be the spark that lights the fire

Thanks Haslo, was not aware these cards had to use AGP Slot. Your solution will solve my immediate problem, thanx. But I would sure like to know if there is a script, download, software, hardware etc. to accomplish this "up to 9 monitors that MS advertises".
