I think 8 is the limit above that and you won’t be able to use them very well Well mabey 9 if you can handle it but I would only go to 8 but 9 is like the most I would be able to use well
I have a 42" TV mounted on the wall (connected to a laptop), a 24" monitor on portrait (connected to a laptop) and four 24" monitors connected to a desktop PC where I do most of my browsing. It's an ideal setup for me except I need a little bit more desk space for my keyboards, tablets and coffee mug/s
Super helpful video! Quick unrelated question: I have the OKX Wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (job priority warm lab border boil monkey manage palace fiber weird ask). Could you explain how I transfer them to Binance?
Hi, I have a late 2013 mac pro running macOS Monterey with two AMD FirePro D300 GPU's. trying to setup six monitors but at a time it only picks up two. How do I get the mac to recognize more than two monitors?
How to activate my fifth screen for GTX 980 + 3 port DP MST hub on one of my GTX 980 ports.? All the 5 screens are up and running. It got recognized by my WIN10 Display Settings and Device Manager. But, cannot active the fifth screen. And if I activated it, it'll close one of my monitors and vice versa. I've tried to make a combination plugs with all the 5 ports, still facing the same issue.
unfortunately Nvidia has A maximum of 4 concurrently active displays, this limitation is removed on their enterprise line of cards like the Quadros. a way to get around this is to either add a second graphics card( its does not need to be in sli). AMD graphics cards support up to 6 Active monitors. one more way is if your cpu has integrated graphics and your motherboard has 1 or more video out ports you can go into the bios and enable "iGPU Multi Monitor"( your bios may call it something different or may not have the option at all if it is an older one) . hoped this helped you or anyone else having a similar issue or question in the future.
I want to do the same, I have my mac book pro, my ipad pro 11, and 2 monitors connected to my mac mini. But i want a tower computer I am so done with small mini computer’s. What can I use 4 monitors at same time for?
Hello, I have an Aorus 2080 graphics card. It has 6 outputs. I want to connect 5 displays, but it only supports 4 displays. What can I do? Can you help me?
I have 6 x 27GL850 on individual mount wall rack, very hard to put them all equale, this will be a nice option, You should show the back, how long are the arms how can we ajust to have a 120 angle .
I have two of those Mac Pro but it complains if my monitors are 37”. I’ve been really frustrated. I don’t see why the size of the monitor matters. Right now I have a 40” and 86” tv using one Mac Pro
Hi I am looking for a 5 or 6 monitor gaming video card that does surround display what do you recommend? I have a i7 4790. Can I use a PCIe graphics accelerator also?
Did you need to get "active" mini dp cables, or passive ones? That's the biggest issues with dp ports on my graphics card, I need to get an "active" connector cable (to HDMI), something I found out after purchasing a few passive ones 🙄
Returns should be easy for cables, no? In any event, I just got mine off of monoprice - $4.65 each x 6 and 10ft long (my version of the Moni-taur sat on a standing desk so it needed to extend): www.monoprice.com/product?c_id=301&cp_id=10246&cs_id=3010601&p_id=6008 It doesn't say whether it's active or passive, though. -Matt

I NEED HELP-!!! the software that I use sends the pull down windows from any additional monitor to the main monitor, how can i make sure those pull down windows stay in the monitor they were generated from Thanks a lot Luis
Can you teach me how to connect 5 monitors I got big table and it's for gamers it's legion it's curved Soo I want side by side and the monitors are lil bit curved plss help me
Hi Sir, hope all is well with you. i am looking for the same design to set up for my daily multiple tasks on computer, could you please provide me the detailed list of required item and connectivity design??
For a while, when we moved offices, I had to take it down. It's been very difficult to go back to those two monitors and a laptop. This is so seamless and I can work in peace. I feel you. And the chair is the Ergonomic by Autonomous. -Matt :)
The only thing you did wrong, was, knowing that it took you several hours to put together, you didn't do a tutorial on that. I have had one of these 6 monitor rigs for several months and it's still not put together. It angers me greatly that the companies that sell these are too lazy to make a UA-cam video for them and give useless instructions. It's truly outrageous.
Thanks. Trying to decide how to setup my crypto trading workstation. Very helpful. I'm a DIYer and was planning to use black iron pipe and such, but for sake of time I'll try the VIVO Hex first.
the most pathetic thing about this video isn't even they gave you a real solution, is that macs can't support more than 4 displays right now with their Apple Silicon and you need to buy the most expensive SoC to even do that because it has 4 times the GPUs, meaning Apple's GPU can only handle one monitor at a time.
Big and wide monitors are fun. But I like having my browsers reside within the confines of the six displays. It gives them their own finite playground whereas I find a wide monitor to get fairly messy without babysitting windows. But that's just me -Matt
@@techradar I enjoy the height of 4K as 1080 does not give enough vertical real estate for browser and other windows .Nice setup and glad it works for you.
@@techradar You can always use window manager like Microsoft Powertoys, so you can treat single 4k monitor like 4 x 1080p monitors. it just snap window like it's on their own "Monitor"
How many monitors is too many monitors?
Well I am running 8 on my desktop rig
@@DustySeven7 NICE!!!

4
I'm running 6 already, it's so awesome.
Display port allows you to daisy chain monitors too. So a single port of the PC can drive 6 screens, less cable mess too.
Hmm.. Thanks, Chris. I'll have to try that out. Lots of fun testing to go now that I have the six monitors set up. -Matt
How do you daisy chain monitors through display port?
I'm currently using a macbook pro and two monitors and it's not enough. Working on getting this exact set up. Good shit TechRadar!
Use Display cable it should work, i used mini display to HDMI it didn't work but once I used mini display to Display cable it worked 100%
What cables do you use? I bought the same Mac model, but I haven’t been able to connect more than 3 displays, it doesn’t recognize more displays
Is this still functional in 2022? What is your experience after 2 years on this setup?
may I ask: how much does it cost in total
did you make it to six 4k monitor?
Can we use HDMI FOR 6 PORTS ADAPTER INTO 0NE OUTPUT DIRECT CONNECTED TO CPU?

How could you do this with a new laptop. Preferably windows and still use the native GPU.

We watched you build in Fast Forward. I wanted to see how the monitors were attached. did you drill brackets onto he back of the expensive monitors?
Can you teach me how to connect 5 monitors I got big table and it's for gamers it's legion it's curved Soo I want side by side and the monitors are lil bit curved plss help me
cold always just use a hdmi splitter for the laptop or usbc or use a tablet with duetdisplay as one
Matt! Wha the new of your chair? Looks super comfortable! Can you confirm? Aha
😂 the ending was classic
Glad you liked it. Major props to Alan from our sister publication Guitar Player!
Just awesome
What chair is that? I am not kidding I want that chair.
Its a ergonomic by autonomous
That's like attaching a rocket engine to a rice steamer.
he definitely goons on this
I clicked on this because i thought he was tom green......

Is this still relevant in 2024/2025 or is there now a better way to multitask?
Holy sh*t
The Numbers Mason, What Do They Mean
Please straighten the top left monitor
The screen edges / sides were not neetly adjusted and huge gaps can be seen, which makes the setup look clumsy and unprofessional.
That monitor stand is not the easiest to adjust, it is sturdy but getting everything lined up is a pain.
