How do I hook 2 monitors up with one desktop?

Question

Hi,

Do I need to get a new graphics card which supports 2 monitors?

or Can I just get a monitor adapter thingy?

Thanks

Answer 1

you need a video card that allows you to plug in two monitors.

Answer 2

If you want them both to display the same thing simultaneously  then you could use an adapter that would take one VGA or DVI input and make it into two that display the exact same thing. If you want them to display half the screen each or different things then you would need a video card that supports two monitor and some software that would allow you to seamlessly move your mouse from monitor to monitor.
