3 default monitors in Device Mgr. Is this normal?

Hi all.
I notice I have 3 default monitors showing up under "monitors" in device manager, plus the monitor that's actually hooked up to my PC [Samsung LCD]. Is this normal? If I try to delete the monitors, they come back after rebooting.

Before I noticed this, I downloaded the latest nvidea GeForce4 drivers and installed Nview attempting to hook up a TV as a second output on my video card [Svideo] but then abandoned the idea. Afterwards, I noticed the 3 monitors. I don't recall if they were there before. Anyway, I now get a intermittent shuttering when playing DV video on my system when trying to edit video. I'm not sure if it's related to the multiple monitors. But it's a good place to start.

I read conflicting reports from a Google search. Some explain how to eliminate multiple monitors (complicated), one post in a Dell forum by an engineer says XP will display the number of monitors that the video card can potentially "feed". So, it my case that would make it normal. My card has VGA out, Svideo and DVI (whatever that is?).

What's your take? Any help appreciated,
