[Need Info] Multi Monitor Software in Software http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r20617486 en Tue, 01 Dec 2009 18:26:46 EDT Tue, 01 Dec 2009 18:26:46 EDT Re: [Need Info] Multi Monitor Software http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20622851 grobinette : Well now I see the error in my thinking.

The Dells we use at work have a splitter with the connections labeled 1 and 2 which will allows a single video card to see two separate monitors and allows you to drag windows from one monitor to the other.

The splitter cable I purchased clones the same screen on both monitors and it is seen as a single monitor by Windows.

So I guess it's off to find a different splitter cable or a video card with dual DVI outputs.

Thanks for your input guys.

It will pick up both monitors and you pick the primary which will have the task bar and then have it extend your desktop to the second monitor. Then you have to do the drag thing to move windows to the second monitor.

That is what lead me to look for something with more functionality like a taskbar on each monitor or the ability to open applications automatically on the second monitor.

do you have dual output video cards or do you use a DVI splitter?

I'm planning on using a splitter for my set up.
I have a dual head card.

I though a splitter just gives you the same image on both monitors?

I've only used the Built in Windows software with the MultiMonitor TaskBar extender and it is OK.

So now that you pointed me in that direction which one works the best for you?

I read about UltraMon here
