I am really curious. I have dual 1800FP's from Dell. I really like them, but am curious to see what others are doing with them.


What applications/games do you run? On one or two monitors?

I've got dual 1800FP's too. Don't game on them though, I save that for my 21" IBM Trinitron monitor. Basically the 1800FPs are for surfing, coding, and other general PC usage besides gaming. The LCDs are just so much easier on the eyes for text than the CRT.

I've got twin Planar 17" LCDs. I could never go back to single monitoring. I basically use it for general computer/internet use but it really shines when I'm coding or doing work while watching TV.

I highly recommend a program called Ultramon. It makes the dual-mon experience much better.

I decided I didn't want the bezel to interfere with my work so I went with a 23" Lcd instead of 2 Lcd's.

Werd. I don't post unless I'm sure I have something at least mildly worthwhile to say.

i have dual Proview 17" lcd's.
I use them for EVERYTHING. Surfing, gaming, watchin movies/tv, but they really shine for video-editing w/ Premiere :)
They're not DVI (unfortunatley). But i got an amazing deal on both of them. (Floor models w/ out box, manual ect). Plus 75$us rebates on each.
I have them running off of an ATI all-in-wonder 7500 and a radeon 32mb sdr PCI card.

Very pleased. Decent monitors for cheap price. Great resolution, and brightness, no fuzzieness even at some non-standard resolutions. Color depth leaves a little to be desired. Video sometimes has bands of colour in the whites and oranges (monitors don't quite do 32bit color). But it's no biggie. (I watch all my edied video on NTSC monitors anyways.

I would never go back to a single monitor! EVER! and i've only had them for 2weeks :)

Dual 1800FPs here too. I mainly just use the second one to reduce clutter when surfing and for programs that I run more or less in the background while doing other things. In a way, I really don't need the second one, but once you go dual, you never go back. Although, triple is kindof appealing... :D
