    Dual Monitor -- I'm Addicted!

    Aw man, this rocks so much! We have an extra monitor kicking around for a few days until a friend picks it up, so I'm trying out dual monitor. I'm afraid I'm quite hooked. there's no going back to a single screen now!

                  Elli what size are they? I run a 24 inch and I love it. It's kind of like having dual but in my opinion, better. Going back to a regular 20 inch would drive me crazy.

                        is there anyway to make windows taskbar show on the second screen too? when I do "extend desktop to dual screen" option I just see background on the second screen, but not the task bar... anyone?

                              Dual monitors are definitely addictive. I have them at home and work fora while now, can't imagine ever going back to one.

                                Old pic but Ive been running dual monitors since 2001. My old Sony huge 20" crt's back in the day, and now Dual 22" Samsung Syncmasters. Basic setup is stil the same with a few changes.

                                      I ran dual monitors for a long time, and swore I'd never be able to work again without it .. but it started killing my neck, just the little turns to the side. I decided to get a 24" widescreen, and I'd never go back. I love the widescreen with the high resolution.

                                        Get UltraMon, it extends taskbar somewhat to other screen and lets you move windows over with single mouse click ;) I also find useful display profiles - i have set one for work with max resolutions on both monitors and another one for movies with lower screen res on one screen, this way I don't have to go to display properties all the time

                                                I have 2 30'' on my desktop, but they're running off of separate machines.

                                                  but will it have 2 start buttons? like windows taskbar with start button on one screen, and same thing on the other? or it only extends taskbar and Im only able to have 1 start button for 2 screens?
                                                  nope, only one Start button, taskbar simply extends over to another monitor.. and unfortunately it doesn't let you do things like split multiple windows horizontally or vertically on the 2nd screen.. but other than that I can't imagine dual setups without Ultramon

                                                        Nah, the free version doesn't have two start buttons.

                                                              Still need more screen real estate. Web developing has so many windows. Javascript console, unix shell, mysql prompt, textmate, browser page you're working on, API documentation in a separate browser. All need to be on the screen at once to avoid switching windows and slowing you down. If I had the money I would get another 30".

My man is on a single 24" BENQ G2400 and he says he's converted to the 24 for good now. I guess we're both getting upgrades for summer? We're also both playing with Ubuntu which is very exciting!
