Abstract
A multi-monitor display system is described having an arm adapted for supporting a plurality of monitors containing display screens. The system also includes a column for supporting the arm, a monitor controller assembly for electronically controlling images displayed on the screens, and a graphics assembly for sending signals to the monitor controller assembly to produce the images. The system is used in conjunction with a central processor located in a computer housing. The monitor controller assembly is disposed outside of the monitors and/or the graphics assembly is disposed outside the computer housing.
Claims5
A monitor display system for use with a motherboard disposed within a computer housing, the system comprising:
- a column for supporting a monitor having a display screen and a monitor chassis;
- a cover on the column;
- a monitor controller assembly for electronically controlling images displayed on the screen, wherein the monitor controller assembly transmits timing signals and power to the monitor for electronically controlling the images, the timing signals transmitted using low voltage differential signaling;
- a graphics assembly for receiving signals from the motherboard and for sending signals to the monitor controller assembly to produce the images;
- and
- an external electrical cable to allow electrical communication between the motherboard and the graphics assembly, wherein a) the graphics assembly is disposed outside of the monitor chassis, and b) the graphics assembly and the monitor controller assembly are disposed inside the column and accessible by moving the cover.
