work station using 3 32" monitors

John Bong · Aug 28, 2013

budget is $600 or less

this is not a gaming build, but it needs to be able to support dual 32" monitors

(Edit: Not 3 monitors...only 2)

What is the max resolution of the intended displays and what connection types do they support (VGA, DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort)?

What software you are using is very important.

k1114 :

+1. A description of how you intend to use the system would help a lot as well.

a friend wants to use 2-32" TV's as monitors to run some office programs on one while watching TV on the other...at the same time

COLGeek · Aug 28, 2013

I hope your friend understands that HDTVs are meant to be viewed from a distance. User a 32" HDTV as a monitor for office apps is likely to be an unpleasant experience (at least from my experience with others trying this). The likely output resolution is either 1080p or 720p and via HDMI.

Do you know what make/model of HDTV your friend intends to use?

the intended programs are: PE Design Next, BESlettering and Floriani Embroidery

the TV's are 32" Proscan 780p that she will be getting from hhGregg

John Bong :

780p on a 32" is going to be awful as a monitor, especially since she's likely sitting fairly close to it. Not sure of the cost of those, but you could back it down to a 27" IPS display and you'd be looking at a much more pleasant display.
