I was thinking about making a Triple Screen Setup for PC, and I have really no idea how it works. I know how to do it on PS3 thanks for Mr. Latte, but I don't know if it would be exactly the same for PC.
Basically I have a Dell Latitude D620 Laptop, with a 13" screen. I also have a monitor about 20" for a computer I rarely use now. I would imagine that two 13" screens would be fairly cheap and easy to find. Well, wrong. The smallest size I could find was 18.5", and that was $90, which is a good share of money. I wouldn't want to shell out $180. If you guys know of places where I could buy 13" Monitors for a fair price, then please tell me. I did find Macbook Screens for $40, but a screen isn't going to do any good for me.
Next thing I need to know is, will I need three PC's? Or just three screens? I know for PS3 you would need three PS3's and three copies of the game, but is it the same thing for PC? I was thinking the screens would just plug in to my laptop, but I only have two VGA inputs. I can completely write this project off if I have to buy two extra PC's.
My last question is extremely simple. Will iRacing, GTR2, and rFactor work with triple screens? Or are they just not compatible? These are the three games I will definitely be playing for my triple screen setups, so if they don't work, then there will really be no point in this at all.
