Using 2 24" Widescreen monitors powered by a Radeon 6950 2GB video card.

adultzone · 11-01-2011, 02:58 AM

I have 21" in lennovo as main and gateway 21" as well the same specs

NetHorse · 11-01-2011, 03:07 AM

I run a single ultrasharp 30inch at 2560X1600, but I'm going to eventually swap that out.

Eventually I want to do three of these with eyefinity

1920X1080 each at 120hz!

CurrentlySober · 11-01-2011, 03:19 AM

I cant even afford a single monitor...

I have to post by guesswork alone...

BAKO · 11-01-2011, 03:22 AM

I work on my couch lol

Django · 12-30-2011, 01:38 PM

17" laptop as main and a 23" or 24" on the left

bDok · 12-30-2011, 03:54 PM

two 23" monitors. Dual monitors rock.

Nikki_Licks · 12-30-2011, 04:19 PM

I have dual monitors and love it

fetishwealth · 12-30-2011, 04:44 PM

dual monitors at every station.. only way to go for productivity.

also have duals in all the live cam rooms ;)

livexxx · 12-30-2011, 05:51 PM

one screen ? did this question come from 1983 ?

johnnyloadproductions · 12-30-2011, 05:56 PM

First pic is my work area for doing anything manually, calculations, etc.

This next pic shows the entire setup and how nice everything is aligned for me to switch from one station to the next seamlessly. I've got everything to succeed here really.

Most hours are spent working on the 2 display laptop. The laptop is a 1600x900 17.3" display an the external is 27" 1080x1920. I often go blog crazy loading up images and watching netflix in the left screen and doing the heavy work in the right.

This last picture shows the small netbook (8.9" screen) which is usually used when downloading or uploading a massive amount of files (low energy consumption). The 27" iMac is joined with a Samsung 27" monitor, needs a new display setup connector as the current one flickers, waiting for new component. I'm very content with this setup.

This thread is awesome, very motivating actually.

Guess I need to wake up and get another monitor.

How does it actually work? Is it better to run 2 pcs or do you just run 1 pc and 2 monitors - and one mouse?

facialfreak · 12-31-2011, 04:04 AM

I've grown accustomed to dual monitors for several years now ... so when I switched to a MacBook Pro this summer, it was only natural that I use my iPad (with Rocketfish iPad stand) as a second monitor via AirDisplay ...

Since the second monitor is run over the wifi network, its not going to do video, but is perfect for Photoshop palettes, organizing my emails, my IMs, and my internet radio stations...

I use one high powered PC, one keyboard, one mouse, two video cards, three monitors.

Awesome set up Mr Pheer - I think I need to do some New Years shopping soon. At the moment I have an old pc, no video card - but a great 24" monitor

acctman · 12-31-2011, 04:31 AM

I see there are a couple of different ways to accomplish this, and supposedly it can help to make you more productive with the increased desktop space.

Thoughts?

Wow dude, you've been working online for so many years and only now you are contemplating using dual mon setup? Where ya living under a rock all these years matey?

Dual monitors are the way for efficient work! :D

I only have the 27" imac, but it's 2010 model so I can't use thunderbolt.
