10 TV's on one PC

Hi,

I have done a bit of reading on here but most the the questions where asked a couple of years ago at least, so I thought I would start a fresh one to see what options are available in 2018!

What I am trying to do
In short and keeping it simple, I want to run 10 x 4k TV's from one PC. Each TV will display a different image (I don't want them to be all combined together like one huge display).

I am trying to do this as cost effectively as possible, I'm already looking at some cheap TV's.

What I am not sure about is the GPU route I should go down, should it be AMD or NVIDIA? maybe even Matrox? ideally I would want one card that has 10 ports, but currently I can't find anything like that on the market, price would trump the ports though if there would be a cheaper way to do it using 2/3 cheap GPU's.

With regards to what will be displayed on the screens, images that will fade in and out. I would still be curious though to see if I could run 4k video content on all 10 screens, this is not a requirement though.

Thanks,
-Anton

If you're developing the software to display what you want. Could you use 10 Chromecasts and cast separately to each?

Actually depending on the TV they might have built-in casting so no need for the Chromecast.

Thanks for the reply nmb255, I did look into that as an option but I don’t know much about network bandwidth and if there would be any hard limitations streaming 10 x 1080p displays over Wi-fi.

Price wise I am trying to source 10 large (around 55 to 65 inch) cheap 1080p TVs, so they probably won’t be smart, I think this usb to hdmi (virtual graphics card) is probably going to be the best most reliable route to go down, just wish I could fine someone who’s done it already before I sink 200 into it.
