How to Install Computer Hardware Needed to support and run Triple Monitors on you PC!

To use a Triple Monitor Array with a single PC or Laptop, you must have internal or external computer hardware that will support the use of three monitors. This is not a common feature for most computers. There are several ways in which you can utilize a Three LCD Multi-Monitor Array. Here are the four ways you can support a Three Monitor Display with the proper hardware:

1) You can purchase a “ready out of the box” SUPER PC Quad Monitor Computer System (Recommended)

2) You can replace your current Graphics Card with a Quad Monitor Graphics Card! (Recommended)
