Dual CRT Monitors

[FinalFantasy]

How far apart do CRT monitors have to be for them to operate properly?

I put mine right next to each other and they work fine.

They may have a slight distortion when one turns on when the other is already on.

i'm currently using 2 997df's about 2-3 inches apart (just for a week) and theres absolutely no operation problems

Hmm...I have mine about 2-3" apart, turned one on, then the other. They were working fine for about 15 mins but then they picture on both began to distort, then they both powered off. Then my 2nd monitor powered back on and I thought my 1st monitor burnt out or something, but it seems to be fine now.

We have about a dozen dual-monitor machines and every one has the monitors right against each other - no problems.

You guys must have huge desks to have room for two CRTs

Here at work I have dual Dell M933 19" monitors less than an ince apart.

You can stack em on top of each other... just make sure their set that way in the display properties 😉

Using different refresh rates may help alleviate any distortion.

Got rid of those CRTs and desks and got a 2001FP now.
