Anybody running dual 24"s?

[kaiweiler]

Hey guys and (probably not any) gals,

Is anybody running dual 24" LCD's? If so:

What GPU?
Do you like them?
Do you have any pics?

[Detale]

I wish :( Why are you planning on getting em?

I'm running twin 20" on an 8800GT...

And love it.
If you do it, get Ultramon.
It allows for a lot more configuration options than Windows (spanned wallpaper, different resolution, etc.).

Hey clean desk , is that toast in the ashtray ?

[Skiz]

It might be his wallet, though it also appears to have gotten burnt on one side. Too much butter maybe? :eyebrows:

[clocker]

Old jokes are the best, aren't they?

Yes, unfortunately I can not choose from different brands/models unless I want to actually purchase them.



Two of these are really my only option if I choose.

And yes they would be new, and shipped to my house with no shipping or customs charges :)




EDIT reviews on Newegg seem decent

Rather the toast in the ashtray than the poo stain on the wall.

As for the original question, nope. Just two 19"s.

haha sorry Peat, but it took me 3 months of playing online poker to get enough frequent player points for these!

[peat moss]

Ah just teasing Kai , I'd give my left testicle for just " one " 24 " monitor . :pinch:

[Detale]

Well I'll give on too then we can share nuts and monitors so we'll have both when we need em:O

Who's scratching them then ? :whistling I'v often wondered about dual monitors as most Vid cards I'v had have that option . What is the purpose my I ask , full screen for games ?


I'm just curious as I'v never seen in action other than a web shot .

After using dual 19" LCD widescreens for about two years now, and dual 15" CRT's before that, I don't think I could go back to a single display for daily computing.
Personally I find great convenience in being able to stack 16 poker tables on one monitor while still browsing and using IM services on the other.
Also, being able to play a video fullscreen and still browse is nice.
Aaaaand it is pretty useful when writing a paper or doing research as you can have your document open on one monitor and resources on the other without having the make each window a measly half screen or flipping between applications.

More or less it is great for people who have ADHD and/or just can't focus on doing just one thing at a time :P

Once you have them, you'll find uses.

In the relatively short time I've been dual-displayed, my pattern has evolved into a "passive/active" mode.

The RH screen has static information...sticky notes, Everest temp monitoring, uTorrent, FAHMon, etc. and the LH screen has browser window(s).

When watching a movie- or just feeling green- I turn off the RH screen.

I have a friend who has a 28" and a 24" setup.
He runs the 24" in portrait mode for browsers and uses the larger screen for entertainment.

Basically, it will soon be obvious how twin screens will best be used...and once you get used to the extra visual real estate, it's hard to go back.

That makes sense now , as I have a roomie who has three computers set up in her office , she likes to game but surf and IM on the other . My son plays Final Fantasy on the third with her .

We never thought about dual monitors , as she has one 22" LCD and two 19" CRT . Hey very interesting tho as she could get rid of a computer and just use the high end one with dual ?
