  1. Hi all,

    I got bit confused by reading multiple posts about monitor,video card , desktop & Laptop. so want to start with step by step.

    Currently using Macbook pro and one cheap monitor ( used thunderbolt for connecting).

    Plan - Step-up 4 monitors

    Planning to buy laptop or desktop and 3 monitors.

    Please share what to buy based on the above to complete the budget friendly 4 setup monitor screens.

    IMO one doesn't need more than 2 monitors, 3 max. If they're using 3 they better be watching 30 instruments or something.
     
  5. Thanks for the reply, please share some idea on laptop or desktop.
    Actually I am planning on buy 17 inches laptop with i7, 8 gb ram . Please let me know if the above config works or better to go with Desktop ??

    I think you can only plug one extra monitor into your laptop.
     
  9. That's true, So for more than 2 monitors. I think need to buy a graphic card or video card right ??
    If yes, I see multiple configuration on video cards or graphic cards and could not able find the one I need for the basic.

    Any desktop with a nvidia nvs 450 will let you run 4 monitors.
