Ice · 08-20-2005, 05:22 PM

I can't live without dual monitors

detoxed · 08-20-2005, 05:25 PM

because its badasss

krazyone · 08-20-2005, 05:27 PM

I do it so that I can have my messangers on one screen and whatever I am working on on the other. Also comes in handy to work on one and play poker on the other.

iwiiiiiiiiii · 08-20-2005, 05:28 PM

I have 3 monitors at the office, too usefull.

It's just weird when I'm back at home on my laptop

sfera · 08-20-2005, 05:30 PM

sfera · 08-20-2005, 05:31 PM

Marcus Aurelius · 08-20-2005, 05:31 PM

Its a great way to make changes to a site on one side, and see them reflected live on the other, great for multitasking.

sfera · 08-20-2005, 05:35 PM

sfera · 08-20-2005, 06:04 PM

bumbp

iwiiiiiiiiii · 08-20-2005, 06:10 PM

for me the center monitor is my primary and I use the 2 others when I need to have many windows open.

Doc911 · 08-20-2005, 06:13 PM

I have 4 computers and one monitor. I just tab between the computers.

BastarD · 08-20-2005, 06:14 PM

sfera · 08-20-2005, 06:31 PM

BlueDesignStudios · 08-20-2005, 06:31 PM

i have no monitor

MandyBlake · 08-20-2005, 06:53 PM

its easier to work and fuck off at the same time. one screen for work and one for gfy!

PMGames · 08-20-2005, 06:55 PM

I can't live without my dual montitors. Once you do it, you will never be able to feel comfortable again going back to one.

I do a ton of photoshop, so it is nice to use the left for my actual workspace, and have all of my tools on my right monitor. Also nice to place other programs there in the background so you can multitask and drag and drop with no problems.

Hey....I use to use it for winning ebay auctions too...got my left one with my high bid ready to be confirmed and the other one that I keep refreshing to watch the clock run down to the last few seconds. ;)

One of my monitors died about a month ago, and for a few days I was a lost pup trying to figure out how the hell I ever worked off of one monitor, ever. lol.

Gotta go with the dual...it will change your entire experience.

sfera · 08-20-2005, 06:55 PM

so how do you specify what comes up on what screen. i would like to do this

toddler · 08-20-2005, 06:59 PM

i just drag whatever to whereever.

sfera · 08-20-2005, 07:02 PM

sweet ill have to get another monitor when i get more room!

BastarD · 08-20-2005, 07:21 PM

How about dual monitors and linux (gnome2) ?

Anyone tried that?

Robx · 08-20-2005, 07:48 PM

I don't mind surfing and stuff with one monitor, but when I really need to do some work, 2 monitors is the way to get stuff done.

In my office, I have 4 monitors (2 and 2) as well as a KVM switch. Sure makes multi-tasking easy.

MissEve · 08-20-2005, 07:53 PM

Lots of online poker players use dual monitors to have 8 games open at a time.

arial · 08-20-2005, 09:24 PM

I prefer a KVM switch, but that's just me.

mrkris · 08-20-2005, 09:27 PM

I have dual 19inch lcd's right now, use one monitor for developing, and one monitor for messaging. I will be soon be obtaining a 3rd identical 19inch and running triple head.

How are you going to pull off running 3 monitors on one CPU?

I have two right now... and I couldn't imagine life without the setup.

But 3???????????????????????????

That'd be incredible....

Could you point me to a graphics card that would allow for 3 monitors?

FrankWhite · 08-20-2005, 10:12 PM

i dont know what i would do with one monitor, i've had dual for the past atlist 4 years

Matt_WildCash · 08-20-2005, 10:14 PM

You haven't seen anything...

Mike69 has 4 huge flat screens, people freak when they see it!
plus, 1 laptop and then I have my computer, he is a programmer.

He uses every screen! I could play some many poker sites at once, LOL!

asl · 08-21-2005, 12:07 AM

I love my desk ;)

mrkris · 08-21-2005, 12:20 AM

Right now I have a higher-end GForce card and bought a DVI->VGA convertor, so I have two vga's basically, to add a 3rd, I will just add a nicer PCI card, as I don't want to spend $600+ on another video card (PCI Express w/ SLI). I don't need a highend for the 3rd monitor, will probably be running unix on it anyway, i'm tired of this XP bullshit

mrkris · 08-21-2005, 12:21 AM

Yeah I bought my dad a new motherboard and the nv gforce 7800(?) gx or whatever. pricey card, but nice ... latest from nvidia, SLI ready

Vitasoy · 08-21-2005, 04:12 AM

I'm running duo setup right. Makes life much easier

u-Bob · 08-21-2005, 06:22 AM

1 box, 2 monitors
1 box, 1 monitor
1 laptop

SOADa · 08-21-2005, 06:32 AM

I run the dual operation among other neat-o things that make life just so much easier.

KVM Switch (controlling 3 systems)

2 Servers

Laptop

SideKick II

1 Dedicated Server (remote)

And a big dick to fuck women with. Mmmm. Living the dream.
