I would like to hook up 3 moniters to a computer to have a photo slide show, each monitor showing a different photo. Can this be done? If so how? Thanks.

The easiest way is to use video card with three outputs, make sure the card can actually do three simultaneous outputs. Many cards these days have three outputs, but often only two of them can work simultaneously. Run three instances of slide show program, place the window of each instance on each monitor.

Next choice is using two video cards. Connect two monitors to first card, connect third monitor to second card. Run three instances of the slide show program.

When you say video card, do you mean a SD card? Thanks

Ok, dumb question. Searched newegg. Now I see what is needed. Expensive stuff. Any suggestions? Only going to show 25 to 50 photos at max.
