is there any risk to dual monitors?

[krazieaznboi]

is there any risk to using dual monitors? like will it shorten ur video card life span or anything? will it make the temperature of ur video card go up?

 

[COD2_fanatic]

no not normally, you just have to make sure you video card supports it

 

[krazieaznboi]

yea my video card supports it.

 

[H4x3r]

no you should be fine, if the card supports it then there should be no trouble or shortening of the life span

ok thanks. dam i gotta get a new secondary monitor. its all blury and stuff cuz its an old crt. not used to switching view from crt to lcd. lol

The only real risk -- running two monitors can use that much more electricity. But if you're really worried, just set the monitors to standby at 10 minutes idle.

I have to giant CRT's as my dual monirots right now and the only risk is me getting blasted (litterally) with radiation.
