Mindovermaster Moderator Posted September 28, 2008 Moderator Share Posted September 28, 2008 I used to use 2 x 17" screens. at the time, I was doing Vbulletin forum editing, and I needed the extra space. but now I'm just on a single 20" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephen_0002 Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 i had dual screens, love it... and from being a manager of a pc store, it's quite useful to have. I'm still negotiating (w/ wife) on getting a second one for home. I just need to justify the money.. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMaster23 Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 I used to run a 19" next to my main 24". The damn thing did nothing but display Windows Media Player all day. It was the 930BF .. world fastest LCD at the time .. such a waste. Sold it for a bargain price a month later to my sister who needed it waaay more. Been on single display ever since Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 So whats with everybody thinking they need two large lcds? Unless your a programmer I just don't see the point. I would imagine watching movies or anything else with a thick gap down the middle would be pretty annoying. its certainly helpful when you need to look at as much information at one time as possible.

I had dual screens for a long time, very useful when running virtual machines, studying for certs, working from home, etc... Now I just have the one 26" LCD, but if not for that I would still have duals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
virgo89 Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Once you go dual screen, you never go back. I usually have my browser on one screen and a movie playing on the other one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I do on my single 17" 5:4 LCD is put Media Player Classic as "Always on Top" and open up a browser in the background :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

se7en.hu Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 yea, i couldnt go back to one monitor. I get things done so much quicker with this. Especially when I got things where I have to read off one screen and do the tasks on the other screen, like alot of uni work. Or coding, being able to have like 4 windows open side by side etc. Having to switch from one window to the other and constantly losing where your up to in reading, trying to find the same position is a massive waste of time. I need to get another 20" though, I hate the MB's 13" screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emn1ty Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Here is my new setup. One screen is my MBP and the other is my PC which the specs are in my signature. I can swap between my Mac and my XB with the screen's buttons pretty easily. Overall shot. My windows comp MacBook Pro (might be in a different spot later since I am taking it in tomorrow to have the screen fixed... hopefully) XBox 360 and games. And if you don't like it, just remember...
