:omg: I see 5 monitors there - 3 LCDs and the 2 laptops. I only see one external keyboard though, and both laptops are not close enough for direct typing. So how do you work on 2 laptops using one keyboard? Regards, Nish

Yep, everyone I know who have used dual monitors have strongly insisted that it has tremendously helped their productivity, and that they couldn't imagine going back to single. And some guys like David Wulff use triple LCDs at work! Regards, Nish

I'm in that group. Once you get 3 you'll never go back. I'm planning on adding number 4 before to long. SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!:-D

YES. While writing code: IDE on main monitor, MSDN help viewer on second monitor While debugging: code and watch window on main monitor, all the other tool windows (memory, registers, etc.) on the second monitor. At my last job I was running two monitors at 1280x1024 and it just felt nicer when I added the second monitor. Having more real estate for code during debugging alone was a great improvement. --Mike-- Visual C++ MVP :cool: LINKS~! Ericahist | NEW!! PimpFish | CP SearchBar v3.0 | C++ Forum FAQ

It's great for debugging UI code. For everything else, it's nice but not essential.

Yep, I found dual montitor to be great with VS. Unfortunatelly, both monitors I used at work were broken while transporting from NYC to Boston, and I got just one as a replacement :( So, after all, I am not in a position to say I could not imagine going back to a single monitor.

One more reply and I will buy another 2. I do have more PCI slots in my PC you know. I have enough room for at least 4 more monitors. :) Don't you have homework to do anyway? :) Oh yeah, and she should talk. I had to twist her arm to get HER two monitors and now she is trying to figure out a way to get them at work :) If she had more room on her desk she would have 4 of them too.....

This is way cool - I wonder if he want's tea, I am heading downstairs... :-) We play this game, originally called baby tennis... the game is to bounce the baby back and forth, until one of us drops the ball.... (it used to go something like this... go give daddy a kiss.... then go give mommy a kiss.... then go give daddy a hug... then go give mommy a hug.... the winner won, when the child gave up running from parent to parent....) The child now 15 years old, has seems to have caught on to the game, and doesn't play well.... So we have to invent new ways to play tennis.... Usually involving innocent bi-standers..... hehehehehe (so sorry).... hhehehehehe:-O Joanne Cassick Current Accountant Now, IT Student

I completely disagree. I would be very uncomfortable NOT doing dual screen displays. You keep your application and supporting windows on Monitor A, the default and primary monitor and all your Dev tools, trace tools, performance analyzers, profiling graphs, and just over all debugging on the other. I could easily see three, put your dev on monitor B, and move all the debugging, tracing, perf monitors, and profiling plots onto screen C. But this coming from the guy who can justify 1 terabyte without even blinking... ;) _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.
