TURN OFF, DISCONNECT, AND UNPLUG THE POWER CORD FROM THE COMPUTER (AND EVEN THE WALL, add safety) TO ENSURE YOUR SAFETY!!!

ELECTRICITY CAN KILL YOU! IF YOU ARE NOT QUALIFIED TO WORK ON ELECTRICAL DEVICES OR MACHINES, GET A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN TO INSTALL THIS CARD!!!

ALWAYS: Make sure you have positively discharged any static electricity you may have stored by touching a known ground.

I wanted to set up four computer monitors because I am using audio and video software, and I need to be able to spread out all the relative windows for these programs for fast and easy reference and adjustment. This card is simple and plain forward.

After changing the plate to long (it comes with shallow mounting plate installed, but includes long mount plate) the card slides right into the PCIe x16 slot designated for video use on most computers. Connecting the VGA cables is pretty much brainless, and the output plugs are numbered from one to four. If you are setting up linear (all in a row)it is easy as one two three. It currently says (I say currently, things can always change) it will work for two monitor configurations, three monitor configurations and a total of four. (What I have).

Anyway, after you have followed instructions of how to install the disc and monitors (companies can change the order of which comes first, the card or the disc so fair warning)

Setting up the displays is a cinch. It doesn't really matter which number cables out go to which monitors you have in which sequence, because the program goes though a monitor identification mode that will organize the monitors regardless of which output you've plugged into.

There are other adjustments you can use if you want to, I chose to manage the color hue and other settings with the HP monitor management program rather than a program designed to be.... generic.

So, in conclusion, I will give a 5 stars, because of reasonable price, ease of set up and use, and the overall quality of the product. Regarding all things computer, I pretty much waited for many years before diving into the world of computers. Why? Because I observed many friends and associates going through an endless cycle of problems and issues that always seemed to need an expert to resolve. These problems always arose with the addition or modification of software and hardware.

I finally got a throw away computer, to see if computers were beyond this point, and to my happiness, found that computers these days will automatically find 'drivers' and make needed adjustments whenever you changed or added something.

For ease of use, I give this one 4 stars, a person needs to know how to safely handle computers components to succeed with a task like this.

REMEMBER, electricity can kill you. UNPLUG THE POWER, BEFORE, you open your computer to install this card!
