Drivers for 2nd monitor?

[R3DN3X]

Hello guys and gals

I recently bought a second monitor for a steal (19" LG). I have been studying up before I actually wanted to install it. Many places say that you need to install the monitor drivers and other places say you don't. So my questions is that have any of you had experience hooking up a second monitor, and if you in fact need drivers or not. When I purchased the monitor it came with no drivers.

Many thanks

it depends on the input sometimes too a (d-sub) or dvi monitor. (it will only be these two in this case as their wont be a HDMI cable for a 19" monitor)

I recommend you just plug it in, most of the time it will just work, seriously.
If it doesnt that's when you look for the drivers. How are you trying to plug it in, what input are you using? But before you do all this (just to make sure) update your display drivers and your graphics card software first because when you do this, it will eliminate the chances of having to do this later.

Im getting 4 monitors after I hook my pc up into SLI, 2 is fine for me atm. But monitors shouldnt be a problem.

Hello R3DN3X,
Hook it up and let Vista install what it needs.
When it's up and running right click desktop and go to Personalise, at the bottom of the page open Display Settings, there you will see your two screens, choose extended Desktop, (as opposed to clone), you can drag 2nd screen to which side of your main monitor you wish.
You can make adjustments through your graphics control panel too.
Hope this helps, good luck and post your results.
