I closed the control panel and launched World of Warcraft. As long as you can see your desktop stretched across the two displays, click Yes. I selected "as one large horizontal desktop" after which I received a prompt asking me if I want to keep the settings. I chose the option "Change display configuration" and from there received a menu with some radio buttons asking me to select my preference. Your system should already recognize the two monitors, but if it doesn't just reboot before you continue. I selected the Display option and that brought up a fairly simple menu. I run a custom built PC off an Aspire X-Cruiser case) I launched the nVidia control panel by right-clicking on my desktop. Once I had my two monitors installed on my system (configuration of ports will vary between boxes. There might very well be some other options out there, but this seemed the simplest since I already had the mod running on my system. I used the CT_Viewport feature within the mod to configure the play space within the game. Being left-handed I configured the left-hand monitor as my main game space, and the right-hand monitor as my toolbar/bag/chat window space.Īlso, in order to complete this dual-heading setup within WoW you'll need to download CT Mod 2. For the purpose of this article I set up my system using two 18-inch monitors: a Samsung and a Sony, so it doesn't matter what brand of monitor you use. However, the setup within World of Warcraft should pretty much be the same. I don't have access to an ATI card since they are not allowed within 100 yards of my house, so I cannot give any advice with that side of things. I run a nVidia graphics card, so these steps are using their drivers and control panel. I know it's been a long time coming Bill, but here it is.įirst, some caveats. Yessir, I've been planning to dual-head my system for a while now, and when Bill wrote WoW Insider asking for help on this, I jumped at the chance. Now, since I am ultimately a geek, what would be better for me than one big monitor? Two monitors. The actual window into the world seems to get more crowded the more I play. I just never seem to have enough room on the screen in WoW, between all my toolbars and chat windows and party member icons and such. There's been many a time when I have been tempted by the lure of a larger monitor.
