Triple Monitor Setup

[Emorigg]

I want to have a triple monitor setup, but I can't seem to find the monitor I currently have (LG E2250T-PN) so I tried to find one as close to it as I could (LG E2241V). I can't post links so those are the model numbers.

I was just wondering if this would work.

why wouldn't it work?

I don't know, I just wanted to be 100% sure that there wouldn't be anything wrong with it

I see no reason for it not to work, the monitors aren't codependent on each other.

[Kardezar]

if the cords match/work and the video card supports it, the monitors wont matter.

lol i dont see why it wouldn't

one thing to keep in mind, triple spanned displays like eyefinity and nvidia surround require a good amount of gpu power to play well, and not every game supports it

there are also quality of life issues with scaling that high, for example, in wow you need to shut off your damage and healing numbers, and use an addon like parrot

If you have a Radeon card (Eyefinity) those collection of monitors will not work. For the Eyefinity, one of the monitors must have a display port input for it to work.

use an active display port adapter, like this:

and yes, it has to be the expensive 'active' type

Putting this here for when someone eventually asks what 'active' displayport means
