[dba-Tech] Widescreen Monitor

With my dual monitors at work I use a splitter cable thing to make the
one VGA connection have two plugs. Many video cards have VGA and DVI
connections and you can connect one monitor to each and it works. I
have no experience with USB monitors so you can try it and tell us I
guess.

I know that once you have dual monitors you will wonder how you got
along without two for all the years before. Code window on one screen
and application on the other. E-mail on one, web browser on the other.
Etc. And you can even span across both of them if you have a really
wide spreadsheet or something.
