i just started using dual moitors, just because it so cool!!!! the monitors are about 4 inches apart but its still cool to be able to , for example, have a reference picture on one while i draw on the other in photoshop
so what are some useful things you can do with this? now that i actually have everything set up kinda thinking “ok…..now what?” lol

Currently use one monitor, but I’d like either two or three for gaming. Would be good for coding too.

i want to try it for gaming too, if i get another monitor hooked up
i play counter strike but i dont want the middle of the screen split between the monitors since theres a big gap between the 2 due to the borders

Using one currently but i wish either if it would be a larger than what i have.Games are unplayable (well nearly) at the low res my monitor have.When i’ll save enough money then i have a dream of buying a 30” monitor.Either a Dell or a Samsung.Until then yes i’ll be using my good old single 17” CRT.

I have a single 17 inch TFT monitor. Although I like high resolutions I don’t have to complain. I must say that I’m happy that my CRT was broken. 😊

I currently just use one monitor for my computer. I dont think I would have room for two of them on my desk, and I really dont see the need for another one. A back up maybe for when this one goes out but that would be about it for me.

I use one monitor at home, but with my computer at work, I use the laptop screen as one “monitor” and I have another monitor that is hooked up right beside it—very cool stuff!  I find my productivity is a lot higher as I can keep e-mail open on one, and if I need to cut and paste between two different sources, I am not having to switch between windows on that tiny of a screen >_<

Most people actually uses only 1 monitor.here in my country, i’ve not yet seen anyone is using 2 screens for their home but multimedia & graphics houses need to work with multiple monitors simultaneously.I wish if our monitors would have the PIP function like high-end TVs do so that we could do multiple jobs at once.
