I just got my hands on a 21 inch monitor for $50. A new video card is on the cards.

So anybody using Dual monitors?
What is your setup?
How is it?
Etc…

As far as card recommendations I am looking at the mid to upper gforce fx price range


I think I injured my self carrying it

are they both 21" ?
I've got that going on right now and it's sweet…very much required if you're doing lots of OTL stuff > houdini in one monitor, all the otl windows (type prop. edit contents etc) in the other…

Two 21''s is the ONLY way to work.
One for work…one for flash games.

i have my $1000 philips trinatron 19“ and my $50 hitachi Accuvue 21”

the trinatron is sharper but hey 2 heads are better than one.

what video card are you running?
and what OS?

I have it working well in windows with my gforce fx 5900 when I am in “stretched desktop” (one desktop stretch across to monitors). I get GL glitches when I am in “dual monitors” mode. The only problem with stretched screen is things tend to pop up on the seam between the screens. But it is easy to switch between single dual and stretched.

At some stage I will try to get it working in Linux.
