Can a Mini PC Drive Multiple Monitors?
Yes. Many mini PCs drive two or more displays at the same time. The number of monitors a mini PC supports depends on its graphics output ports and its processor. Each display needs its own video output, so check the port count before you buy.
The Thinvent mini PC range includes models with one HDMI port and models with more display outputs. The Thinvent® Micro 6 Pro uses an ARM® Cortex A55 processor with 4 cores, up to 1.9 GHz and 1 MB cache. It has 4 GB onboard RAM, 64 GB eMMC storage, and one HDMI port. It suits single-display embedded and kiosk use.
The Intel-based models are better suited to multi-screen work. The Thinvent® Treo Mini PC with Intel® N100 processor has 4 cores, up to 3.4 GHz, 6 MB cache, and 4 GB DDR4 RAM with 128 GB SSD. The Thinvent® Aero Mini PC with Intel® Core™ i3-1215U has 6 cores, up to 4.4 GHz, 10 MB cache, and 8 GB DDR4 RAM with 256 GB SSD. The Thinvent® Aero Mini PC with Intel® Core™ 5 120U has 10 cores, up to 5.0 GHz, 12 MB cache, and 16 GB DDR4 RAM with 512 GB SSD. The Thinvent® Treo Mini PC with Intel® Core™ i7-1255U has 10 cores, up to 4.7 GHz, 12 MB cache, and 64 GB DDR4 RAM with 1 TB SSD.
Choosing a Mini PC for Multiple Displays
| Factor | Light multi-display use | Heavy multi-display use |
|---|---|---|
| Processor | Intel® N95 or N100 | Intel® Core™ i3, i5 or i7 |
| Memory | 4 GB DDR4 | 16 GB DDR4/DDR5 or more |
| Storage | 128 GB SSD | 512 GB SSD or 1 TB SSD |
| Typical workload | Dashboards, signage, office tasks | Trading, monitoring, multitasking |
Match the processor and memory to your workload. Dashboards and signage need less processing power than multitasking across several applications.
