*Idiot Question*

[CallisterUK]

Is it possible to have dual-monitors with 2 of these?

Currently have one, looking to buy another.


If it is possible, do I need to buy any additional wires?

Just another dvi/hdmi/displayport cable and power cable. (these are probably all included wit hthe monitor)

Yes you can.

As long as you have two display outputs on your GPU/mobo/laptop.

To check this just look at the back of my PC?

What are your specs? I am 95% sure already that it will support it, but at least give me your graphics card model so we're for sure.

 

And yes, just look behind your PC. VGA, DVI, whatever this monitor has that your PC has two of, use that.

Yes you can, if your PC/ Laptop supports two monitors. I'm running that exact same setup right now. Two things to keep in mind: First, there are two different revisions of the monitor with different panels. This isn't an issue when you buy the monitors at the same time, but when you decide to buy another one later. Second, the box only includes a power- and a vga-cable, so you'll need at least one HDMI/DVI cable

Yep, you have a DVI and VGA on the back of the motherboard. Use those two.

Dual monitors will work. You will need to order a DVI Cable though.

EDIT: Any particular reason why your monitor is only running at 1600x900 ?

I'd love any tips/improvements for what I need to change if you don't mind

As far as I know that monitor is capable of running at 1920x1080. If you right click on the Windows desktop, and select screen resolution, you should be able to drag a slider a bit more to the top, resulting in your monitor running in its native (= higher) resolution

Ah yes, I remember changing to due CSGO (apparently it lowered your FPS)

I'm back to 1920x1080 now, but everything seems so zoomed in comparison to 1600x900

It should have the opposite effect, everything should look a bit smaller. I'd just lower the resolution in cs go directly (via the settings). When buying the DVI cable, make sure it's a DVI-D (like this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/CPO-Cable-DVI-D-Full-Monitor/dp/B002276Z12/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1442668637&sr=1-1&keywords=dvi+cable) DVI-I cables will not fit into your motherboard

Yes sorry I meant so much smaller ,

I've bought this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261733924378?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

 The cable will work fine. Dual monitors are pretty awesome, have fun with them. Maybe consider replacing VGA with an HDMI cable when you bought a graphics card later down the line. VGA is analog and cheap cables can impact your image quality. With your motherboard, you're stuck with it though
