DVI Splitters, anyone had/seen/tried them?

Link doesnt seem to work for me. But if you use a splitter, that means both monitors will have the exact same picture. With DVI I dont think the quality will decrease much, if at all. I could be totally wrong though.
 
I believe (maybe be wrong?) that a dvi splitter splits the signals, so in essence both monitors would be displaying the same thing? If you want to use both screens i believe you need to invest in a new card with 2 dvi points, or a second video card.

edit: avengence beat me. lol

Link fixed.

Well this dual DVI crap is getting costly. I thinking about just getting rid of the two 1907s and getting one 2407. Factoring buying a new vid card, it wouldn't cost much more.
 
Well you could fix your problems with a video card with 2 outputs. But thats spending lots more money (something like a 6600GT with dual DVI) buying a nice big monitor is always fun too.

I have an ATI compatible mobo, and I would need to spend atleast $100 for a PCI16 dual DVI card, and that's for a card from a cheap brand. Atleast $200 for a decent brand card...and I don't even game....and I'm not even 100% sure if my Dell comptuer would work on the new card, not sure if it's upgradeable.

I want to pull my hair out, oh what to do, what to do.
 
Don't know what you are running video card wise, but make sure it will run the 2407 native resolution and aspect ratio.

I have an X600, it works with the 2407, I checked.

But then the problem is, I would have to sell the 1907. Anyone know how hard it is to sell a monitor on the internet. I don't have a heatware or ebay feedback history. Is it hard?
 
While im not sure if these will support very high resolutions, u can invest $10 in a second pci video card, old ones that work. As long as u have an open pci slot, you can stick it in for you second monitor.

Again, you will have to check resolution/support, as im sure the older ones only have vga and are pretty weak in comparison. but its one method.

Well the reason I'm doing it is to get both monitors in DVI. My X600 already has one DVI and one VGA. I want them both in DVI.
