I know it`s slightly off topic here, but I find myself with a need to
drive two flat panel monitors from one computer - Simple advertising
display, the screens will be within a couple of metres of each other and
probably three metres from the computer. Does anyone have experience
with passive splitters? will they suffice or do I need to look at active
devices?

I assume you are talking about analogue VGA and not DVI connection.

With the old monitors that had seperate BNC connectors you could switch
off the built-in 75ohm termination on all but the last one and daisy
chain them with T-pieces. Generally you cannot do this with modern
monitors on HD15 connections. Using a passive split would probably
degrade the output noticably.

I just had the CPC mailing through the door today - they have active 2
way splitters for £17.98 plus VAT, order code CS0798401.
