VGA Splitters

I assume you are talking about analogue VGA and not DVI connection.

With the old monitors that had seperate BNC connectors you could switch off the built-in 75ohm termination on all but the last one and daisy chain them with T-pieces. Generally you cannot do this with modern monitors on HD15 connections. Using a passive split would probably degrade the output noticably.

I just had the CPC mailing through the door today - they have active 2 way splitters for £17.98 plus VAT, order code CS0798401.

Thanks for that, yes I mean standard computer monitors. Output doesn't have to be perfect, it`s just some advertising. I haven't had my weeky fix from CPC yet, some closet reading to look forward to.

There's loads of graphics cards with dual outputs now for very little money. The ones with seperate VGA and DVI sockets often come with an adapter so you can access the analogue VGA on the DVI socket for dual monitor use.

I've not had much difficulty with just y'ing the outputs in non-critical apps, but YMMV.

Cheers jak, that`s what I`m hoping will happen, It`s a temporary set up, no chance of swapping video cards or anything like that. I guess I`ll have to just suck it and see.

You may be lucky with the short distance involved. There seem to be plenty of cheap y cables on sale. Personally, if it is a favour for a friend I'd try the y-split but if it's a paying job just price in the cost of an active splitter.
