3D Monitors

Apr 14, 2009

Has anyone here had experience with 3D monitors? I've just seen on Engadget that JVC are launching a 46" 3D HDTV for around $7,000.

I'm really excited for when true 3D content really takes off

I started a PhD on autostereoscopic monitors just a couple of years ago, which is a type of 3D display that doesn't need any glasses to view 3D images (but has some drawbacks compared to polarised displays, like the JVC one above).

Most nVidia graphics cards are capable of displaying many existing 3D games on a 3D monitor/TV without much extra configuration. So you could be playing Flight Sim, Team Fortress or other 3D games quite easily in true 3D

Admitedly, it's more novel than useful for many games - but flight sim is amazing in 3D. I'd love to have a setup like this in my living room!

Can't Run 3 Monitors At Once

Apr 11, 2011

I've got a setup that is running 2 ATI 5850s with dual monitors. I tried to add a 3rd monitor but when I do, I get the error message "to extend the desktop, a desktop or display must be disabled". Basically it's only letting me run 2 at a time, any 2 works.I've got 2 monitors using the DVI??? (whatever the white port is) and one using HDMI. I have tried running all 3 from one card, and I've tried doing various combinations using both cards and I can only get 2 monitors to run.

3 Monitors

Dec 9, 2009

I'm thinking of having 3 monitors. Right now I have two, and my setup is so that the desktop scales across both so I can just drag a window from one screen to another.

If I put in a second video card and setup a 3rd monitor, will it scale on over one more time? I'm not sure how to set that up since I've never seen it in person before.

Any ideas on how that would work? I currently have an 8800GT that's got the two hooked into it, and I'm planning on getting some other cheap nVidia card just for the 3rd monitor. I just want to make sure it will scale on across to the 3rd monitor as well.

PC Wakes But Monitors Don't?

Apr 7, 2012

This problem started a few months ago when I updated the video drivers on my NVIDIA card. What happens is that when the pc goes to sleep, either by my command or after timing out for inactivity, the pc will wake up when prompted by mouse or keyboard, but the monitors don't. I know the pc wakes because when tapping on keys or clicking the mouse button I will occasionally hear pings from the pc. I'm not convinced that the problem is NVIDIA's, but this does coincide with an updated driver of theirs.Ultimately, in order to get my machine working again I have to press the power button and restart cold. Also, and I'm not sure if this is worth noting, upon cold start, my Kaspersky and clock gadgets, which are normally placed in the upper-right corner of the right monitor, display in the left monitor somewhere off-center.

I'm diligent with keeping drivers updated, but I really have no idea what to do now. I'll post the stuff that may be relevant:Logitech wireless mouse M310 (unified w/ keyboard)Logitech wireless Solar keyboard K750 (unified w/ mouse)(2) LG monitors E2050NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 video cardWindows 7 Home Premium (service pack 1)64-bit OSAMD Phenom II x4 945 processor 3.00 GHz8.00 GB ram

4 Monitors Problem

Sep 8, 2009

I have a HP dc7900 desktop computer (Intel E8400 3 GHz, / GB RAM with windows 7 ultimate x64).

I would like to use 4 monitors. I have a nvidia 8800 GTS in the PCI-e slot. This card is so big, so I cannot insert an other card to the second PCI-e slot.

If I try to enable the onboard VGA card, the windows won't boot up.

So I bought a nvidia 6200 64BIT PCI card, put it to the PCi slot, but the same happened.

Switching Monitors

Sep 19, 2009

Since I am a musician, I must practice at home and with the modern hardware it became impossible to have total silence in the room, specially a small one. Tried everything an after all, my solution was radical but very effective: My cpu is in my living room with my LCD TV and a keyboard and mouse and, after drilling a wall, I have a LCD monitor, keyboard, mouse, USB hub and a USB CDRom in my studio.

This is perfect because I have total silence to practice and a Home Theater PC in the living room. Under windows XP using the NView software I was able to create a hotkeys combination(ctrl+y) that allowed me to switch monitors without any confirmations, right clicks or dropdown menus. Just click those two keys together and that's it. Now, not even a MultiDisplay Wizard is available.

Sorry for writing so much, but here is the question: How can I switch monitors like I use to do? Is it possible to create a shortcut or hot key or, in a worse case, use the usual way in windows seven but in a way that a confirmation is not required? When I change resolution asking to show only in one of the screens I must run to the other room the confirm the change.

This is the main reason I did not install Vista, but I hope it will be a solution in Windows 7.

Get Three Monitors Working

Oct 23, 2009

I am a new Windows 7 user and so far I really like it. I had XP before and I recently bought a new computer. I am trying to set up triple monitors like I had before. The three monitors are as follows:

1) Acer 19" widescreen #1

2) Acer 19" widescreen #2

3) 40" Sony Bravia LCD TV

I had this working fine on my old computer. I had the two monitors plugged into an added video card, and then the TV plugged into the motherboard. On this new computer, I have one graphics card with all three monitors being plugged into it (one through VGA, one through DVI, and one through S-Video.) I get the two main monitors to work properly, but I can't get windows to extend the Desktop to my third monitor (My TV), like I had before.

When I go to the screen resolution option, it recognizes all of the monitors, only it will only let me select two to actively use. I would even be satisfied if I could get the second AND third monitor to show the same thing. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do?

Dual Monitors On Win 7

Oct 26, 2009

I have dual monitors, one on my laptop and another bigger monitor for when I am docked and at the office.

Under XP I had it set so that when I closed the lid on my laptop, the lapto screen was shut off and all files that were subsequently opend were opened to the main big screen.

It appears now that when I close the lid the screen stays on and if there was a window showing on the laptop when the lid is closed it does not automatically switch to the big monitor. It used to under XP. Is there a way to duplicate this behavior in Windows 7?

There are times when I want to use just one monitor and shut the monitor built-in to the lap top - off. Is there an easy way to do so?

2 Monitors And Screensavers

Dec 21, 2009

I have an external LCD monitor connected to my notebook via HDMI. I’d like to be able to turn off the laptop screen or make it go black or run a screensaver ONLY on it, while I’m working/watching a film on my external display. Going into my notebooks settings and toggling from 2 displays to 1, works but is not a process I want to do as frequently as I’m having to do now.

Basically I’d like to be able to turn on and off (or blackout the screen or run screensaver) my notebooks display, as quickly as possible, while not effecting whatever is going on, on the external display.

The Simplest Way To Run Three Monitors

Dec 13, 2009

It seems like all I ever see is a bunch of geek double-speak, whenever I look at these "question and answer" sites when it comes to hooking-up three monitors. Can anybody out there put it in VERY simple terms. What I would like is one HD picture monitor and two normal. I have a 26" Samsung HDTV, Dell 19" HDTV, and a Dell 19" traditional (square) monitor.

I bought another video card (NVIDIA Geforce 9600GT XFX) just so I could have the additional two monitor outputs. Well, I get this thing and find out I have to remove the video card I already have in order to install the new one! It is like robbing Peter to pay Paul. The card installed has a HMMI, DVI, and the other one, whaever its called. So it has three outputs, but I guess I can't use them, or so I was told. On top of that I have to hook it up (the new video card) to extra power and I have no idea where I am supposed to get it.

I am very frustrated by all the crap. I have a Dell Studio E5200 computer, nothing too special. I really don't need anything too special, I just want the convenience of having three monitors and can not understand why it is so hard.

Extended Monitors

Virtual Gap In Between Dual Monitors

Apr 9, 2011

I just installed a 2nd video card. It's running perfectly fine, except now on my dual monitor setup, there is a virtual space between my monitors. (This space shows on the Windows "screen resolution" tab. Practically, it means that I have to move my mouse a lot more to get it onto the 2nd screen, rather than it just being right there. I can move the screen (on the screen resoltion tab) to be right next to the other screen. I'll press save/apply and then it just pops back to the same place it was with the gap still there. I've tried doing it in the nVidia control panel as well, with the same problem (pops back). By the way, even though I installed the 2nd card, both monitors are plugged into the SAME, OLD (previously working) video card.

So, I am trying to get triple monitors set up on my computer, and for some reason windows 7 isn't seeing the third monitor. [code] This Motherboard has a monitor output, as well as a video card port. The video card has two monitor outputs, one HDMI and one VGA. The Video card is an NVIDIA GeForce FX 5500.I have tested all three monitors and they all work.

App To Separate Taskbar To Three Monitors?

Jun 8, 2012

I searched and found many posts about multi-monitor taskbars, but none that address what I am trying to do.

Left Monitor: Quicklaunch bar
Middle Monitor: Start button and application taskbar
Right Monitor: Systray

Is there any 3rd party app that will do that?

I know I can easily extend the whole taskbar across all monitors, but that doesn't do what I want. Ultimately 3 separate completely modular taskbars (where you drag different components to them) would be nice.

Attempting To Set Up Dual Monitors?

Aug 29, 2011

im trying to set up dual monitors. Right now i have my main monitor as my LCD tv, and i have a vga splitter from my only vga port sending out two vga cables, one to my tv and the other to the monitor my computer came with. im trying to use the monitor it came with as my second monitor where i can do things on both, but its only cloned from my main one. when i go into control panel> appearance and personalization> display > display settings > detect , it will not find my second monitor. So do u need 2 vga ports for this to work? or is there anything i can download that would allow me to use the second monitor as its own and not a clone? this probably sounds really confusing so if i have to reword it i will, just trying to find out if im wasting my time by trying to do this
