I am contemplating going to a dual monitor setup. What video cards are out there that will allow this and which of these seems to work the best. Also what if any adjustments need to be made to Photoshop ( CS ) to work in a dual monitor setup ? thanks for the help

Most of the geoforce 4 cards will drive 2 monitors just check the specs for the monitor connectors. I didnt have to make any software changes to PS just have the workspace on your best/biggest monitor and drag all the tools, palettes etc onto the other. -
The ATI radeon 9600, 9700 and 9800 Pro series do a remarkable job with dual monitor displays. They also enable you to set multipule color profiles and do some very fine tuning on the monitor calibration side of things.
The other advantage they have over the Nvida Gforce series (even the newest ones) is that they have more power and seem to offer better stability. I have the 9800 Pro and I'd swap my granny before I'd give up this card.
Ultimately, it will come down to a matter of preference. As Chris H said, "check the specs."

How do I calibrate for a dual monitor setup? Surely, in order for it to be accurate you need a profile for each monitor? Is there a way to do this? Or should I just calibrate my main monitor and forget about the other? I have a CRT which I connect up to my laptop. The laptop's colors, even though...09-16-2007, 08:01 AM -
Hello,
I contacted Spyder by Colorvision regarding dual monitor calibration and they told me it's not supported by Windows XP or Vista.

Hi All,
I’m thinking about a duel monitor set-up for use with PS CS5 and have a couple of questions.
My current set up is a HP Pavilion elite m90402 with Intel Core 2 Quad Processor Q6600 and a NIVDA GeForce 8400 GS Graphics card.
The Graphics card has 1 S...11-30-2010, 07:21 PM -
I recently bought a computer with a 128MB ATI Radeon Graphics card. I was told that it would run 2 monitors. Today I went to buy a dual monitor Y adapter cable and I was told that I would get the same image on both monitors. My intent was to have the tools etc on one monitor and the image on the...07-21-2008, 01:06 PM

I'm asking this here because I'm currently reading Richard's book on PSE 4. It occurs to me that no amount of calibration can fix a monitor for which the colors at the edge of the screen do not match the colors in the center. And I'm sure that there are other monitor problems which cannot be eliminated...10-08-2006, 11:25 PM
