    Are you looking to have identical video coming out of your computer being displayed on four monitors?

    If so - it appears a video splitter will do the job for you (view VGA video splitters). Sort the page by price to discover the cheapest solution.

    To narrow down our recommendation, please provide the following:

    1) Is your video VGA, or DVI, or any other format?

    2) What is the maximum distance between the computer and the monitors?

    a. I want a different display on four monitors.
    b. Our video is in DVI format
    c. The distance between the computer and the monitor is about 50m.

    [​IMG]To get each monitor to show different video (instead of duplicating the same video onto 4 screens) you need 4 video sources. Since all video is coming from one computer - this one computer must have 4 video heads.

    You can achieve this by...

    a) Installing a quad-head video card on your computer, or

    b) Connecting external video cards via your computer's USB ports (check out USB 2.0 to DVI Adapter and USB 2.0 External DVI Video Card).

    Once you have your 4 video sources, you could use four DVI extenders (over CATx) to extend the video 50m out to your monitors.
