Hye - if you've never worked with two monitors before, you'll love it! It only takes a few minutes to get used to it.
Check the back of your card - if it has two video outs you are good to go. With LCDs, you could have one standard 15 pin connecter and a digital video out - check your docs or go online, because on some cards you can't use both at the same time (digital and standard). If you ahve two standard outputs, it will definately work.
If you don't have two usable outputs, you can easily add a second, cheap video card. If your current video card is AGP (it almost has to be nowdays) you'll need to pick up a PCI bus card.
The PCI card can be a real cheapie; you will only be able to use the primary card for 3D intensive applications like games, etc, so you don't need a high-end card for secondary. You can still do photoshop, video editing, whatever on the secondary - it just doesn't do "direct to video" stuff..
I have an old 4-meg S3 Savage card in a PCI slot for my second monitor and it's great!
At work I have a Matrox 450 dual-head card that is fair for gaming and great for everything else - it's a good deal.Comment

they're great. especially for programming/graphic/web design. you get to see the preview in one screen and work in the other. saves a lot of time just clicking all over.
if you have 2 monitor ports on the back of your card, then it's

go for 17" and make sure you have dual video-head card.
you might want to check your existing card for compatibility.Comment

I'm on 1 19" LCD and am really considering buying a second before the year ends. I hate clicking back and forth all the time when coding and working, such a pain in the ass. Only problem is if I did go dual, I would need to have a custom desk built. I just don't have enough room in my workspace for a second screen.PHAT SERVERS - Quality dedicated hosting at a quality price!

Duals rock, although now I'm starting to enjoy having a 3rd ;) At the office I've got 2 19"s on one box and a 17" on another box, all controlled by the same keyboard and mouse... Getting a second 19" for home on Monday.
I'm saving for the dual 19" LCDs for home, wouldn't go with anything less.Comment

How hard is it to setup Dual Monitors? Do they act seperately or as one? Whats the best video card for dual monitors?Comment

That's pretty nice. But what makes it better than duals? Dual would offer much more computer work space.Originally posted by Amputate Your Head
