How to Send a Display to Several Computers

Connect multiple monitors to a single computer.

Sending a computer's display signal to several monitors allows you multiple viewing options from a single output. This process may sound difficult, but it does not require opening up the computer and it takes minutes to complete. Displaying information from a computer onto several monitors is done by using an adapter that splits the display signal being transferred to the other monitors.

Things You'll Need

• VGA splitter
• VGA cables (one for each monitor)

Instructions

1. Plug the single-headed end of the VGA splitter into the VGA port on the back of the computer. VGA is the most common connection used for computer monitors.

2. Plug one end of each VGA cable into an open port on the VGA splitter, then plug the other end of each VGA cable into the back of each monitor on which you want the computer displayed.

3. Turn on each monitor and start the computer. The monitors will all boot up, displaying the computer's images.
