| Connecting 2 monitors together You need a graphics card that has two outputs.Each monitor will connect to the computer separately. The necessary hard ware will not come with the monitor. Does your computer have onboard graphics or a graphics card?

| Connecting 2 monitors together When you have the two monitors connected you can set it up on windows. Go to control panel>display>settings and both will be displayed. You can then set one monitor to be an extension of your desktop with different backgrounds if you wish. |

| Connecting 2 monitors together cool, thnx. its for poker, i want to bring up lots of poker tables, so i need extra space. also, i saw a good monitor on ebay, which might end at a much lower price than in the online shops. what are the risks of buyin electronics from places like ebay? as i was told its a bad idea... |

| Connecting 2 monitors together Ebay is just like everywhere else, there is good and not so good. Check feedback and you take a chance. |

| Connecting 2 monitors together ive bought alot of electronics from ebay, just expect some return issues if its faulty for such an expensive item id buy in a shop such as pc world for e.g. that you can talk face to face

| Connecting 2 monitors together A lot of ebay sellers use amazon as well, the upside is that you're covered by amazon's awesome return/protection policy. Basically they guarantee the transaction.
