Multiple Monitor Video Cards |
 |
 |
| | Multiple Monitor / or Multi-Head Video Cards have come a long way in recent years. Newer graphics cards are typically provided with two DVI ports supporting integrated VGA output, along with DVI-VGA adapters that will extract the VGA signal onto a conventional VGA port. CRT monitors will usually use VGA, but higher end CRTs may include DVI, and LCDs - depending on the model - can support either or both. Conventional or high-definition television outputs are also sometimes provided, although these will commonly disable one of the other display outputs when accessed and cannot be used to create a third display device.
The most common setup for a pair of monitors is side by side, although graphics artists sometimes prefer to place one monitor above another.
