Ok,
So I was one of the lucky buyers of 2 of those ACER 22" LCDs that bestbuy was selling for 190$ on Memorial Day.. Well, Short of modifying my desk, they wont really fit unless I Mount each one tot he side of my desk to fold out when not being used but I dont wanna do that.. So id like to know if this would fit those monitors.. Im not sure of what the mounting compliance standards are and what my monitors have so if someone could figger that out for me thatd be great..

Here is the one I found that I like..
Open to other suggestions.. Sub 200$

Id also like to know what it takes to be able to Span games across multiple monitors..
Now, I will be using this with my new Alienware m9750.. has a 512mb PCI-E 7950 Go with DVI and VGA out.. If it is possible to span a game across 3 monitors with this laptop, instead of a side by side dual monitor stand ill need something where I can put my lappy in the middle
 
Does no one in the Display section know, or does no one in the display section care?
 
you'd need dual, non SLI video cards to run 3 monitors.

if you have 2 external connectors, you should be able to run dual monitors from your laptop, otherwise you'll need the laptop screen+22" screen for dual monitors.
 
Laptop has DVI and VGA outs..
So im assuming the 3 monitor idea would work?

Now how do I span a game across 3 monitors?

Nah chances are that the output is either one or the other. At very best you can run dual external screens with the internal disabled or cloned to one of them.

Anyway most games don't support multiple monitors. Not much you can do about it. Somegames can do it if you use software instead of hardware 3d(most don't even support software rendering anymore). Depending on the card you may be able to get the 2 screens to act as one for a widescreen gaming experience though(depends on the drivers).

Back with ut we had it running on like 5 screens. Man that was nuts. People have gotten quake 3 to run a shit load of games in linux before too.
