Hey all, just wondering how many people have multiple screens etc.
I saw a pair of screens on Gumtree (similar to Craigslist for those who haven't heard of it) for £80 and thought whynot.
It's incredibly handy, in all aspects of computer use. Some examples of what I've done today where the extra screen has massively helped:
Played CS:S on one screen, with msn open on the other. Okay if I click on msn it minimises CS:S, but at least I can see what the person is saying to me.
I manually added a mod to my forum, with Filezilla and Notepad++ open on the right, and IE8 open with the install.xml on the left, reduces cooking times by minutes :popcorn:
Designed a (non-phpBB) website for a client using Dreamweaver CS5.5, which has a built in multi-monitor function, allowing me to see live updates to the design as I type the code.
It's just so handy :rock:
Screen set ups
Re: Screen set ups
Wouldn't you have to have a vidieo card with two vga outputs for running two monitors?
No is NEVER an Option and NEVER is the only Option when it comes to Giving Up!™

Re: Screen set ups
Most video cards have at least two. And my card is rather dated (NV8600GT).

Re: Screen set ups
I have all I can do to keep up with one monitor let alone two.
Re: Screen set ups
2? There have been times I run 4! Typically always at least dual screen though. I agree, once you use it and get use to it, it makes going back to a solo very annoying... I am annoyed as I type this on my 17" HP Laptop with a single monitor.
At least I am drinking a beer.
