    will a dual screen make me work faster?

    i get distracted by boards, especially this one, a lot. When im on it i barely work! Shit sucks so bad. So is a dual screen a good option? i heard some ppl have the boards on one screen and their work on the other. This sounds perfect! does it really work as in a better productivity?

    i do that sometimes but it just helps you do a few things at once easier. the best thing is to try it and see if you like it.
    Take it Easy !!!

      simple question >> simple answer: No

      because you only can concentrate on one screen

          yes , but less time minimizing shit and rearranging your workspace .
          Trust me .. Ive had dual display for years and I will never go back .

          I've even had 3 for a few months at a time , but it seems to blow video cards :P

          way more productive.

            dual monitors is very helpful in my opinion. I find it easier to do my graphics, and programming.

              ive never had dual monitors though i think it would be more of a distraction.

                I have dual monitors and have for a couple years now. Generally I work in one and have my various messenger conversations open on the other (Minimizing and maximizing seems to do strange things to some applications). When working in software like Photoshop or Premiere Pro you can stretch it to both monitors and have all of your controls available on one monitor and your photos/video on the other, it's quite helpful and time saving. Eventually I'd like to go to a three monitor setup.

                  Hell no... This board will still be your main focus. Trust me, I have 2 screens. The only way to get work done is to not open any webmaster boards. PERIOD!

                              dual rules! Just don't use it to have two gfy threads open.

                              It's great to have a full monitor just for photoshop workspace, with all the toolbars and pallettes on the second monitor along with a preview of the site your building or some other reference. There's also enough room for an icq convo or two over there. It makes your time much more productive.

                                      Dual monitors are the way to go. It probably saves me an hour a day of alt tabing, copy pasting, etc. Its def the way to go. I had to go back to one monitor for about a month and I almost went insane. Trust me, your efficiency will go through the roof, its worth the extra money.

                                          I've had Dual monitors for years and I think it works best.
                                          SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.

                                            I've got three right now and I can't wait to add another. lol

                                            Sometimes, I think I'd like to take the laptop out to the tv and work out there, but I can't handle the single screen when I'm doing more than answering emails... no "space" to work.

                                              Dual monitors helps me get alot more done, and get it done faster. For instance, I have ultraedit on one screen and my browser on the other, so i can see how pages change while I'm coding them. Or I'll have some work stuff on one screen and messengers/gfy/other stuff on the other screen.

                                              And whoever said you can only concentrate on one screen obviously hasnt tried it. That may be true if the screens are on opposite sides of the room, but when both are right in front of you, its no problem.

                                                  Ive been working with two 19" TFTs for some time now and I would never go back
                                                  It's a great difference
                                                  3 or 4 TFTs can be an even greater advantage for certain tasks

So is a dual screen a good option? i heard some ppl have the boards on one screen and their work on the other. This sounds perfect! does it really work as in a better productivity?
                                                    I got dual 17 makes work alot easier and faster but if your gonna have the board on one and working on the other. I doubt you will get any work done.

                                                            I can't work without less than 2 screens! It increases productivity in that you have more space to lay things out.. its like getting a bigger more organized desk!

                                                              I have been on dual screens since 1996 when my 2 17" NEC CRT screens cost me $1300 each.

                                                              Now I have 2 NEC 19" LCD's (they cost me a little less)

                                                                                      It's nice to be able to edit pictures on my pc and have any IMs or boards/emails open on my laptop.

                                                                                      Think of it this way, say you are chatting on ICQ and trying to edit pictures at the same time. By having it totally seperate I don't have o minimize it between responces and I can continue to edit pictures while ICQing

                                                                                      might only save you a few min over a day but over time those saved min add up and it is fer less stressfull when you can organize how your work load is done day in and day out

                                                                                                    So I just got all 3 LCD's in as well as a mtrox millenium P750 card and I am having trouble setting up all 3 screens to be independent. At the moment all I can get is stretched across all 3 screens. Any one have experience with this card?
