[dba-Tech] Widescreen Monitor

Hiya Rocky,

I recently installed a PC for a girl in an accounts department.

It was a nce Dell machine with two video outputs ont he card, she got 2
x 20" wide screen digital flat screens.  She can have four applications open
and never has to toggle an app, the screesn are exactly the same height and
size and resolution, which IMO, is the key to this setup.

I want two now, !

BTW, Hello to you,

Mark
