As I remember I could run 8 monitors with my one computer, if I had the space and the need. I hope I never need 8 monitors.

I started with my Commodore 64 and a little TV monitor with a great picture. My first DOS computer has a Compaq lugable, and had a little green screen. Black background and a few shades of green for text. To get the CGA standard was a big step up.

Then VGA, and on and on.

At work we had a 6 MHz IBM AT with an amber monitor, so black background and amber text. IT had a second monitor with a full size video card, that could display 16.7 million colors at VGA resolution in the early 1980s. It only displayed the graphic I built. That was when most people had no colors on their monitors.

We used it to build the graphics that I sent to the film recorder.
