How many monitors are you using?
-
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?

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

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'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

Trying to squeeze VC6, MSDN and you app onto 2 screens can be difficult. :sigh: Roger Allen Sonork 100.10016 Were you different as a kid?

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:
