Woohoo, got my dual monitor setup :)

[notfred]

I don't have my camera with me at work, so all I can offer is a screenshot for the moment.

It's a pair of dell 1900FP LCDs.

So... much... space...

multinmon

 

[ironcrotch]

Yes, it's :thumbsup:. Next step is to get dual widescreens.

 

[DrumminBoy]

I'm jealous

Hope you don't mind ghosting during games...

I have heard this over and over about Dell LCDs. I have not seen it once on mine.

Guess I am lucky.

Birthday gift notfred?

BTW, could you have the taskbar stretch across both screens, or only the primary one?

 

[Mo0o]

Get ultramon!

 

[Aharami]

u get dual monitors at work? u suck!!

I only get ghosting (2) 2001fps here when vsync is enabled, which I wouldn't use anyway because it limits me to 60fps. Besides that the dell lcds are fantastic for their price, I have one hooked up to a mac mini and it's fantastic. Another vote for ultramon: it's great software.

yippeee! i had two but the I realized how pointless it is, 2nd one never got any use, might as well just use the taskbar.

1900FPs are old school. 1905FPs are better, but I'm a fan of the faster 16/12ms panels out nowadays.

 

[Pliablemoose]

I have 1905FP's and set them up portrait style

i gotta start this bc i hope someone really knows.
isnt it a bad idea to use a FPS higher than the frequency LCDs are set at (usually 60Hz)? Dont you get tearing if you try to make an lcd have a fps over the refresh rate of the monitor?
ALso, arent FPS above 60fps gratuitous anyway? if its constant at 60fps if you have a good vid card it shouldnt really matter (this depends on your vid card obvioulsy, idk what you have).

Dual mons are great for office apps and multitasking but you will run into problems with a fairly large assortment of games(at least if you use two separate VC's.)

I suppose it would depress you to know that one of my crts has more pixels (2048x1536 @ 75 hz), better color, no ghosting issues, and probably cost 1/4 of what those two lcds did, huh?

oh well, use what you like...

<---- still doesn't understand this LCD fad, even after all these years (unless you move alot or you're talking Apple 30" or IBM t221)

 

[BW86]

Time to get ultramon

 

[aplefka]

I'm thinking about building a sturdier workdesk and then having a dual CRT display set up. :beer: for your setup though, lucky bastage!

Its all about desk space and aesthetics.

Ummm....OR readability!

Have you ever tried doing documentation for work? Or coding? Geez, after sitting in front of a white screen with black text on it for TEN HOURS A DAY, using any CRT - even the very best, running them at 100hz refresh - your eyes feel like they are BLEEDING.

The best thing about LCDs, IMHO, is that there is absolutely no eyestrain of any kind, at all, ever, no matter HOW long you are stuck in front of one.

That's worth 10 times what they charge for them to me.

But, then, if you don't WORK in front of one, and only use a computer for gaming or neffing on ATOT....probably whatever was cheapest would be the smartest buy.

That and a couple of CRTs = a minioven
