when playing games... how does that work out? does it just display on the primary monitor. also, when watching movies with WMP and you go to full screen, it dosen't streach across both displays does it?

stev0 <- just ordered a second samsung 191T this morning 🙂
 
I had two 20" for a while with my matrox g400 a while back, when I ran a game the secondary monitor just went into standby
 
It goes on your main monitor, and depending on how the game was coded, your second monitor either does nothing or gets all screwy with resolutions. This goes away after the game quits, so don't worry. A lot of time I can allow messages to appear from a messanger client on the second monitor, and answer them when there is a dull moment in the game heh.

Most games crap themselves if you have dual monitors enabled and try to play 'em. Very rarely do games span two monitors, even if they start with the other monitor enabled.

WMP stays on one screen if you switch to full screen mode.

If you span your desktop it spans across to both monitors.
