yea agree..USB is kind of hit or miss....i too have 2 monitors sticking of my USB.... since i needed to extend to a total of 7. But guess

also in my case i use w530 which has nvdia....& the USB is displaylink certified....so need it's a little tricky at boot for both the display drivers.

thnx

ahh yes I forgot about that-meaning for ones that dont know on restart sometimes you have to unhook tritton device then reconnect so it will sync back in...thx for reminding me of this, I used to shut my pc down, now mine run 24/7 so its not a issue now

My card, Radeon W600, supports six monitors with a single PCIe slot. DisplayPort.

I seriously thought about that card. 6 mini hdmi adapters are used, does it come with all 6?

I didn't bother to SLI or Crossfire two cards, but I did look for cards that had at least 4 native HDMI ports, until I asked their tech support department, whether what I intended to use the card for, would fit within their purposeful specs. They suggested other cards, and not being dependent on 4 monitors being able to stretch across all. I was disappointed to say the least, after putting so much effort into that logical choice of one card, 4 monitors.

Not HDMI, DisplayPort. Yes, mini displayport. No adapters. Never use adapters. Just buy the right cable, mini-displayport to displayport in my case, x6.

ok, that's what the problem was, display port. my monitors had hdmi and dvi-d, and I would've needed adapter/converters, and you're right, never adapt or convert, always pass through connectors. I think that was the other problem the techs at the company pointed out too.

oh well!

2540x1440 on a 23" Acer B233 platform was worth protecting, and what a monitor these are!

I currently use 2 Dell U3014T 30" 2560x 1600 and am considering one of the new 32" 4K monitors from LG, Dell, or BenQ.

Has anyone trued the new 32" 4K and compared it to the 30" (2560x1600).

I am using Ninja Trader and am thinking the additional resolution may not be all that useful.

Comments?
