    input or output? If you have one output then yeah only one monitor. i think. 2 outputs means 2 monitors.

    EDIT: After some googling it seems that the 6510 is an intergrated GGPU/MOBO with only 1 output. I presume you have a laptop? You will not be able to use 2 monmitors with this card.

    I'd be very wary about ordering from that lot. A lot of people on here have had big problems with them. Do a search for them on the Laptop and Consumer Issues forum before making any decision.

    I got a laptop from laptops direct and it was broken out of the box, wouldnt even start up.
    Took 3 weeks to get it picked up and new one delivered, i was not impressed, id never buy a computer outside of Ireland again, bag of hassle if something goes wrong.

    I had problems with Curry's when I went up 2 weeks ago so I bought 2 of these for €400. Ordered on the Thurs and they arrived the following Monday in perfect condition to be fair.

    Have a Dell Latitude D430, very small screen (about 12 inches maybe diagonally)

    It'd very small for multi-tabling - four small iPoker barely fit on the screen.

    What would anyone recommend to buy a new monitor to connect to this laptop for better viewing ? Can you even do this ?

    Very computer illiterate so help me out on this one . . . thanks

    To be honest, I thjink you have the market cornered. Include that chapter on folding KK preflop and its guaranteed a pulitzer imo.

    How do you work it - just plug it in to the back of your laptop ?

    Budget - I suppose around 300 or so . . .

    300 is too much. Dabs.ie/komplett and laptopsdirect.ie all sell models. 19" should be more than enough. Dabs do a 24" for €200, tbh I would prob look at upgrading to a PC at the same time tho. Yea it plugs into your VGA port/ the 15 point socket on the back of the laptop

    How old is your laptop. I have a Dell latitude 810 from work that is being upgraded in a few weeks and its slow as hell. Trying to run a tracker plus other apps would slow it way down I would have thought.

    Lads currently have dell xps m1710 laptop, I am thinking of getting the dell E248WFP 24-inch monitor to go wit it.

    Is it just a matter of plugging it ina nd it will work with my laptop?

    It cost 380e whereas all the other dell 24 inch monitors are way dearer but as i will only be using it for poker i think it will do me

    Anyone got one of these ? how fo they find it?.

    Tbh, I dont know much about these things, but when I was getting my monitor a mate told me there is a massive difference b/t teh 248 and the 2408 dell monitors.

    By the way, you can get it much cheaper than buying direct from Dell. I got mine from pcbuyit; have a look at komplett too.
