sandeepsopc · Jun 19, 2015

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.

Any PC with either 2 Nvidia NVS 310 or one NVS 450 graphics card.

I have read reviews by developers who saying they increase productivity by going with a single monitor setup. Just use a desktop manager. Additionally, the new monitors can handle multiple inputs. The video cards required need to be a little more powerful than typical.

IMO one doesn't need more than 2 monitors, 3 max. If they're using 3 they better be watching 30 instruments or something.

Are you actually going to move the laptop? I bought a very small http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/nuc/products-overview.html and plugged two monitors in. They now do an i7 version that you can plug a Samsung 850 pro ssd into.

Sorry I got confused again, I want to go in a cheap way because I am newbie in the trading.
What is the best way to connect 2 or 3 monitors with my laptop. Will laptop work or need to buy desktop ?

I think you can only plug one extra monitor into your laptop.

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.
