Hey all,

Hoping you can help. I am planning on buying 4x 24 inch monitors to use with my build as at the moment my monitors are all different res/sizes.

With 2 asus gtx 970s would it be possible to do this within SLI?

Sorry if this is in the wrong place, mods/admins please move to correct location would appreciate.

You could run them all from a single one fine.

I'm not sure what SLI would do to change that, but I believe that it should just work.

Sig under construction.

I believe that this will work. Will you be gaming on all 4 displays with the 2 970s?

I'm guessing 3x1080p surround and then one above, which to me is my dream setup atm.

No I plan to use 3 for gaming and one to monitor my stream/ other work

n setup at the moment and don't like it so want to go back to standard surround but with 4 screens.

Okay, so we're still saying 3x1080p surround + one more, you should be fine.

Thanks I will make sure my screens are ips then. At the moment i am running a 1x 18 inch 1x 20 inch and 1x 42 inch flat screen  :wacko: and everything looks rubbish so want to go down  to 4x 24 inch with my 42 inch being used as a telly like it should be.

The monitors I am thinking for this would be the HP LP2475W. Does any one have any opinions on these as I use 2 at work and I like them, if people think they are no good then maybe offer some other good monitors where i wont be paying out a bomb

I looked at them but wrote them off due to the stands and not liking it on that factor. It must sound strange i don't want a 3 TFT setup but want 4 TFT setup due to the way 3 TFTs have to sit?
