How to Setup a Multiple Display System
Complete System or Quad Video Card?
Setting up multiple monitors is easier than you think.
But first you must decide between two scenarios. Either you want a complete
Multi-Monitor Computer ready for
work out of the box. Or you are going to do it yourself by
installing a quad
video card into
your existing system, either way we have a solution for you.

 I
want a complete system ready for work out of the box.
If you would like a complete system ready for work, see our trademark
QuadStation Systems now. We will
do the work for you and ship it right to your door.
How many displays you would like to have, 3, 4, 6 or even 12?
This is
the starting point and will determine which system configuration you will need.
All you have to do is decide how many displays you want, and leave the rest
up to us.
How much desktop space do I have?
If you are using LCD flat panels and our
LCD Monitor Mounts this is usually not a problem as this helps to conserve desktop
space. If you are using older full size CRT monitors, then you need to have
enough space for all of your monitors.
Should I allow for expansion?
If you think there is even a slight possibility you may want additional
displays in the future, allow for it now
when deciding how many displays to start with. More often than not, customers
want additional displays later wishing they had started with more. For
example, if you are on the fence between a 4 and a 6 monitor system, go with
the 6. You don't have to use all monitors at first, just plug them in later
when you are ready.

 I
want to install a new multi display video card into my existing system.
If you have a small amount of technical skill, and your current computer
system supports it, you can install your own multi display video card.
Which video card should I use?
This depends upon 2 things. The available slots on your computer's
motherboard, and how displays you would like to have. If you are not sure, give us a call at
800.346.0732. We will help you decide.
PCI or PCI Express?
It depends on your computer, but basically, it breaks down like this. If
you have an older system you must use a PCI style video card. If you
have a newer computer you can use the faster PCI Express style. Again
we can help you decide if you are unsure.
How many displays can I have if I install my own
video card?
Normally up to 4, but again this depends on your current
computer's motherboard. It is possible to install 2 video cards in your
system for a total of up to 8 but requires a bit more technical skill. If
you are confident you can do this then you are all set. Give us a call to
help you decide if your motherboard will support 2 cards.

How do I connect my LCD monitors together?
Whether you are considering buying a
complete multi display computer from us, or expanding displays on an existing computer,
you will need
an LCD monitor mount to connect all of your LCD monitors together.
LCD mounts create a much more efficient and
productive workspace and we have mounts to support from
2 to 12 displays.
Are my monitors compatible with your LCD monitor mounts?
Yes most likely. If you already have LCD monitors and you are purchasing one of our
mounting systems just make sure your LCD displays have a VESA type mounting pattern on the back which most
of them do. Sometimes they
are covered up by the manufacturers sticker.
VESA standards.
Can I buy LCDs from NTI?
Yes. We offer complete turn key systems including monitors and mounts.
If you already have a few existing monitors you can use those with our system as
well. Mixing and matching different models and sizes with our systems and
mounts is ok.
