How many monitors are you using?

Currently, I'm using two and it's soooo nice! You can keep MSDN Library opened in the second and VS.NET in the first. You can also keep all your IM programs (as for me, I have Sonork and ICQ) in the second and Winamp and desktop icons etc. Rickard Andersson Here is my card, contact me later!

I have two monitors on my desk. Alas, one is a Mac :| regards, Paul Bluegrass South Africa Ravi Bhavnani wrote: it's sold on EBay and shipped from China (on how to inspire confidence in your product) Crikey! ain't life grand?

Still I would like another Mac with OSX to test out Safari and the OSX IE browser. Our Mac is one of the origanl blueberry iMacs. Pretty funky looking but really for R13k it was a total rip off. regards, Paul Bluegrass South Africa Ravi Bhavnani wrote: it's sold on EBay and shipped from China (on how to inspire confidence in your product) Crikey! ain't life grand?

A while back I was running 3 monitors 1 * 21", 2 * 17", but I needed the desk space for other stuff, so only have 2 at the mo. May go back to 3 again soon. :) Debugger, application and MSDN open on different windows! :cool: Roger Allen Sonork 100.10016 Were you different as a kid?

One here at work, but two at home. Never going back, in fact I may try and see if I can get a third sometime soon. :rolleyes: One thing I haven't figured out if it's possible to do yet is to have VS.NET span both monitors? I'd like to have a source file open on each display. Do you know if that can be done?

Earth angel, Will you be mine? My darling dear, Love you all the time. I'm just a fool, A fool in love with you.
What I usually do is set one monitor for sources and move all the toolbars to the second monitor. A guy here also set his VS.NET environment to work as MDI and he can tile windows so he sees one file on each monitor. It's a bit of hassle positioning windows, but it works. IMHO, too much hassle. You can do it on anything you choose - from .bat to .net - A customer

Tools/Options/Environment/Settings/MDI Environment. Then, resize your VS.NET to span both monitors, and resize the child windows. As I said, IMHO, is too much hassle. You can do it on anything you choose - from .bat to .net - A customer

I've found it, but it doesn't work with my nView settings I use. I've made it so when I maximize a window it doesn't get maximized over both monitors, so I thought I could move the child windows's outside VS.NET, but no I couldn't.

Are you into graphics development, I can't imagine three monitors, must be :cool: Kannan

I'm running the double duece 17" CRTs. Although I prefer to keep CP in one and VS.NET in the other :) btw. I get a free t-shirt for that right? ;) Matt Newman

The problem with big monitors is that you end up having to sit a good distance from them. Otherwise you end up having to rotate your head or chair to see them. So instead I think a wide monitor would just fill up my field of vision better. Regardz Colin J Davies

I was thinking exactly the same, how would you be able to view the whole screen in a 21" monitor without turning your head, wouldnt you end with a RSI. Btw whats the resolution, I have never seen such a huge monitor, I think I have seen a 19" (SGI or Sun Work Station not sure) even my television is a 14" one :-) Regards, Kannan

2 at the office, 3 at home. The third one is hooked up to a KVM switch so it's shared with my secondary machine when I need it. One of my monitors at home is a 15" LCD that I set on its side (gotta love Nvidia's rotate function), so it's running at 768x1024 :cool: while the other two run at 1280x1024. It took a while to get used to and lose the urge to "put it back how it's supposed to be", but set up this way Explorer shows more useful info and doesn't waste as much space horizontally. Same with reading docs full-screen, it's just about the same as a regular 8.5" x 11" sheet of paper... Now I only wish my TV tuner window could be moved on something other than my primary monitor. :mad:
