[dba-Tech] Widescreen Monitor

Well I'm running 2 19" LCD's here, and I really miss it when I'm at work.
I've got a 19" CRT there, and as well as weighing the best part of 30kg, it
takes up virtually all ov my desk. I'm even afraid to put it on top of the
PC case, so it just sits on the desk.

I have them set up as one big desktop, so when you keep moving the mouse
right off one, it moves onto the other, and you can have apps open on
individual screens, or across both if you want.

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
