Hello, so as the title states i'm looking into dual monitors. I've gotten into streaming games but can't seem to fit all of the applications/windows on one monitor screen. (needed to have a much cleaner less unprofessional stream)

I've looked up multiple videos, checked out forums, all of them are much too advanced in computers than I am..and I kinda considered myself more knowledgeable than others when it came to computers hah, but boy was I wrong. 

 

What i'm wanting to do:

Have many applications open that don't overlap one another.

I thought that all I needed was a simple larger sized monitor screen/resolution, but I can't seem to find any help about that anywhere.

 

What I would like to know:

My current monitor: http://prntscr.com/7bn4ft (if posting links is against the rules I apologize ahead of time. )

 

1. What would I need in order to have a larger display of applications without having to shrink/re-size/minimize in order to fit everything together? Streaming the game that I stream (OldSchool Runescape) I run the client, Xsplit Streaming software, A few minimized windows that allow requested music, a small re-sized window green screen that (if not over laping with anything or minimized) will give the stream animations and such. I also run on Windows 7.

 

2. If a bigger monitor isn't the answer, I also have a laptop

Display: Mobile PC Display

Resolution: 1280 x 800

Landscape.

Also runs on windows 7.

32 bit operating system, 2.00GB ram, Intel® Core2 CPU 

TZ7200 @ 2.00GHZ 2.00 GHz

 

 

Not sure if any of that helped, but i'm desperate.

Would these two be capable of running duel monitors together?

 

 

 

 

^^ I typed, copied then pasted that to so many Youtube how-to videos, so if I sound weird stating what game i'm playing, whenever we're on an Oldschool Runescape botting site..I'm sorry hah. But please, anything helps.

Nobody?

It depends on what you have for a laptop. If you have an HDMI or VGA out you'd likely be able to drive 2 monitors without a problem.

I run two 27" HD monitors @ 2560x1440x32 on DVI and HDMI.

 

I would definitely recommend this, the high resolution is good as it allows you to run multiple open windows without them overlapping.

Thank you That's what i'm hoping to get done. If it isn't too much trouble, Could you send me a picture through PM of what it looks like (The monitors together and the PC they're connected to.) It would help me out a ton.

Sure thing, I'm not at my computer at the moment, but I can when I arrive home.

 

I'm currently running OS X so it will look different to Windows, and I can also post the specifications for my machine.

You're a life savor.

Make sure your graphics card either has 2 separate ports (eg 2 HDMI or 1 HDMI and 1 VGA) or one DisplayPort (DP1.1+ allows you to chain monitors), and it should work fine.

Are you still looking?
