Re: Dual monitor setup help
11/10/18 05:24 PM


I have a very strange setup. I have 3 monitors connected to my Gigabyte 970. First (primary) monitor is a Samsung S27C750 27" LED that rotates to either vertical or horizontal to play games like Pac-Man and Donkey Kong the way they were meant to be played. Second is a 21" NEC CRT MultiSync FE2111SB for when I really want a true 4x3 to play the games the way they were meant to be played. Got this one for free from an office who was getting rid of it when they all went LCD. Finally I have a 55" LED Samsung TV on the other side of the room that has a very long HDMI cable going from the back of the computer, under the floorboard along the wall to the TV that sits behind me. Also have a 3 port USB hum wired the same way sitting under the TV, to plug my X-Arcade Tankstick, Bliss Box 4-play, Dolphin Box or any other USB controllers into for playing anything on the big TV without facing the computer. Typically, I have the TV mirror what is on screen 1 (Samsung monitor), but a few mouse clicks I can have all three running seperate displays. I usually do this when I want to work on the computer and have TV or videos running in the background. I have no problems at all with refresh rates or anything else with this crazy setup. Runs great, I love it, and friends are blown away when they see it for the first time.
