Hi,

Hopefully a quick one - wanting to have a 2x 1080p monitor setup (clone display, not extended) its a business machine so nothing more demanding than Office, Flash Video/Internet. The monitors have VGA, DVI and HDMI and i would prefer to use DVI.

Looked at Eyefinity but that seems to be 3x monitors minimum.

Anyone able to tell me what i actually need? Can i plug in (say a MSI ATI Radeon HD 6450 1024MB) and just have 2x cables, 1 each from a seperate port on the card to each monitor?

Many thanks in advance!
 
You don't need Eyefinity for two monitors. With the MSI ATI Radeon HD 6450 you can plug two displays directly into it. That card has a D-SUB, HDMI, and DVI connection. You won't get the 2 DVI connections you prefer, but everything will look good anyhow.

Just plug them in and you're good to go.

Peace out.
