I don't know what exactly you mean, but you can have different monitors on different sides of computer.

monitorOne = peripheral.wrap("left") -- you can change the side.
monitorTwo = peripheral.wrap("right") -- you can change the side.

No, you can't connect one monitor to a computer at a distance, at least not without another peripherals mod.

You need a setup like one of:

  • Computer —redpower wire–> computer|monitor
  • Computer|modem )))))))))) modem|computer|monitor

Do you want the monitors in different locations? Because currently a peripheral must be directly adjacent to a computer for the computer to control it.

Computers are cheap enough that having several computers controlled by a central computer over rednet isn't infeasible, though.
