Living the dual monitor lifestyle - You're preaching to the choir!
[Archived in Entry, Viewsonic Flat Screen Monitor]

„I find that I now use one desktop for email / news stuff, and another desktop for dev stuff (running full VS.NET full screen and debugging a GUI app on another monitor was the main reason I switched to this setup). I suspect I'll use a third desktop for blogging-related stuff.[IUnknown.com: John Lam's Weblog on Software Development] I've been utterly hooked on Multi-Monitor for about a year now. I have a Compaq Evo N800w at work with an ATI Chipset that supports Multi-Monitor with the external VGA and the integrated LCD pannel. At home I picked up a single AGP GeForce MX440 with TWO VGA outs for $129 at Fry's. I'm running a 17" monitor in a corner (because of the depth) and a 17" Viewsonic Flat Screen against the wall. Once you've lived it, you CAN'T go back. I'm even thinking about a third monitor at home. There's a great searchable online database of Multi-Monitor setups if you have any questions about if Multi-Monitor is possible on your system (there are always compatiblity issues with motherboard chipsets, video chipsets, video drivers, etc as John can attest to!) I FULLY recommend that ANYONE who is using true Multi-Monitor support in Windows (as opposed to the NVidia "giant NView Desktop Fake-out") pickup a copy of UltraMon from RealTimeSoft. It supports things like: Multiple screensavers, an alternate secondary taskbar for the other monitors, proportional autostretching of wallpaper, roaming profiles, and many other things. It's a multi-monitor must-have.“

„Flat plasma panels, rear-projection displays, LCDs, and even flat-faced CRTs are taking over at the office and at home. And if you're buying a new monitor for a computer this year, odds are that it will not only be flat, but will also be a 17-inch LCD. Sales of this size monitor in North America overtook 15-inch LCDs in the third quarter of last year, according to Chris Connery of the research firm DisplaySearch. This year 17-inch models are expected to outsell 15-inch units by two to one: more than 10.6 million 17-inch monitors compared with 5.25 million 15-inchers.“http://www.pcmag.com/article2/ 0,1759,1631361,00.asp - Cached
„If you're looking to upgrade to a 17in LCD monitor this model from Sharp is worth a look. With good image quality and a reasonable price, the LL-T17D4-B makes a good case for itself.“http://www.trustedreviews.com/ articles.aspx?sec=6&p=4 - Cached
„Yet, for those who are still not satisfied with all features this unit has to offer and require more, this unit can be further enhanced and features added to it through the optional accessories available from Viewsonic (Video Processor and TV Tuner Module allowing you to turn your LCD into a high resolution TV screen, as well as matching accessories such as cordless keyboard and mouse, additional USB Hub, the wall mount base and arm for mounting your monitor to any wall surface, etc. all available from Viewsonic to customize and accessorize your computer and your LCD screen).“http://www.epinions.com/content_85404388996 - Cached

„Compaq's FP500. While it's not radically different from other monitors on the market, the FP500 is the first flat screen considered a checklist item on a new PC. The FP500 looks great - and the picture quality ain't too shabby, either. The monitor's 14.1 viewable inches make it noticeably larger than most "15 inch" monitors, and running 1,024-by-768 resolution is a pleasure.“http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/7.01/ streetcred.html?pg=6 - Cached
