Multiple monitors
Advantages
From the moment multiple monitor possibilities came available I
have only been using PC's with more then one monitor. My
experience is that doubling or even better tripling your desktop
gives a tremendous increase in flexibility and productivity,
especially while using many applications or more complex software
where you need to open a number of windows at the same time.
Examples are Internet browsing and mailing or chatting or adding
Powerpoint pictures to a Word document or programming in Visual
Basic or equivalent. The big advantage is that it is much easier
to keep an overview on what you are doing.
Resources
An interesting source to learn more about multi-monitor use is http://www.realtimesoft.com/multimon/guide/
On this page you can also access a forum in case you need any
help or advice.
Also the websites of the most common videocard developers, Ati, Matrox
and Nvidia can be helpful to get info on the
current technology.
Wallpapers
A multi-monitor setup gives also additional room for
special wallpapers, for example two or three related pictures or
one panorama view filling up all monitors. Some of my favourites
are shown below.
