Do you mean 2 separate monitors, one with each displaying a different source (Which is simple anyway, just put them side by side and plug the PS4 in one and PC in the other...) or a single monitor showing two sources side by side? Both are possible, but I think the latter is limited to certain monitors.

Okay just wondering as Im going to invest in a gaming pc, so thought if I can get a dual monitor would it be able to both. At the moment I have two single different monitors which are not connected if that makes sense.

As long as the video card has 2 outputs then yes. However I wouldn't expect to play games in 2 displays. I can only think of 1 game that actually supports that and it looked terrible.

Okay cheers mate, was just wondering because I've seen some awesome dual monitors, just didn't know/how I could set it up so I could play the ps4 on screen two and then search the Internet on screen one via a computer.

I misread that. There are zero reason's why you wouldn't be able to do that unless the monitor doesn't have HDMI

But might just by two separate monitors with a back bar to connect that way, I've seen it on the asus models.

Yeah that's good to know, I wasn't to sure if it was possible, yeah they have hdmi ports but I'm sure you can get a converter if not, if it's compatable with the make and model.

Cheers mate legend.
