Issue is that the old one does not have HDMI. If it is worth it, how do I install it? Thanks for any suggestions Awards

I use it for Procon and Teamspeak. Its very handy for admin duties. You see whats going on in Procon and TS while playing the game and even better, when i`m doing something alse then playing, like working or so. I have both programs open on my 2nd screen, next to each other. BUDMAN 1 Awards

As far as connections...your gaming monitor is the only one that matters. What kind of GPU(s) are you running? Also note a additional monitor might lower your framerate of your main monitor...what is your FPS now? Here is a picture of my Killing Computer... aj
