I recently picked up an old LCD screen of a friend, with the intention of using it for Simsig.

It works a treat, I now have my own mini IECC!

I have two LCD monitors on my computer, and whenever I play SimSig I always spread the window across both of them. 3840×1080 is a really nice resolution to see a large area of track at a time!

Nice pic. What sim is this and what's the relation between the two views? They don't seem to be adjacent sections of the panel.

Kings Cross.

LH screen is Hornsey area, RH screen is Kings Cross and Moorgate.

I think it is just the different sizes of the 2 screens as they are actually showing the first few miles out of Kings Cross without a gap.

Correct. I've got Cross and Finsbury workstations shown here without a gap, but you can customise to show what ever you want.

Yep, the older LCD is a much lower resolution then my 2yo laptop, hence the different sized panels. But considering it was free, not complaining!

Only a small one... WOW!

That is very impressive..

How do you split the output over multiple screen though? Do you have multiple graphics cards?

At the moment I'm using 5 of Maplin's external USB graphic adaptors plus the graphics adaptor on the motherboard and I must say it works really well. :-)

That's awesome! Am most jealous.

As there is no Maplin over here so who makes your USB graphics adapter? If you don;t know, can you give us the Maplin part number so I can find an equivalent.

Just out of interest, what size are the screens? They look like you have 4 x 21" widescreens that are rotated 90". Is that the original monitor stand or did you get a special one?

When I get hone tomorrow I'll dig out the info. But it's 4 Gateway 21" monitors that can rotate 90 degrees which was good enough for even the largest paged Sim. But I've added a couple of cheap Acer 22" monitors to get the larger scolly sims on.
