Re: video adapter to video splitter

My setup is VGA out of the computer (laptop) to a VGA Splitter I purchased from Radio Shack which has 4 VGA outputs (I paid about $100 a year ago).

From the VGA Splitter I run VGA cables to 3 monitors (1 Singers LCD Monitor 20" like you would use for a desk top then 2 to my LCD flat panel displays (they are high res but it doesn't matter when I use PC VGA source).

Then I treat it like a dual display, desk top on my laptop and extend the desktop to the other monitor/flat panel displays and put the singers display there.

Total cost I paid last year for splitter and 3 cables (1 25ft and 2 50ft), about $240 (VGA cables are expensive). They are bound to be more expensive now.

Hope this helps.
