Dual Monitors Yes Or No ?
Subject: Dual Monitors Yes Or No ?
Hello Gamers
I just wanted to make a quick topic explain you why or why not to have dual monitors
And I know that not everybody knows a lot about computers but i'm 14 so if I can I don't think there is someone who can't , just saying
I just installed dual monitors and I LOVE it
You can use any screen doesn't matter from what brand your computer is
The only restrictions you have is your graphic-card , as long as your graphics-card isn't older than 5 years your PC should be able to handle at least 2 monitors , I have seen people with 5-10 monitors but they use it for there work.
A standard graphics-card has 2 outputs ( or inputs have no idea what it is , it has 2 things where you can put your cables in ) for a normal user that will do , You can set it up so that your desktop is expanded , this doesn't mean that your background will be stretched out over the 2 or more , it will copy your background onto the other monitor , then you can choose which of your monitors is the main one ( this just means that all your desktop icons will be placed on that monitor.
You can either choose if you want the second one to be a copy of the first one ( it does exactly the same ) or as I mentioned earlier expand that the most interesting
That is just the general stuff you can do with them and for all you PC gamers out there this can be used to play games to ( haven't tried it yet ) This came more to be a review than why you should or shouldn't , if you spend a lot of time on your PC and hate to toggle between screens this is something for you and you won't regret it I promise
Goodbye and have a nice day

Before my thingymabob (technical term) fried....I used 2 monitors....1 for TS and one for UT. Loved it....when someone came in that I didnt recognize their voice.....all I have to do was look up to the 2nd monitor.

I have been using 2 monitors for about 2 years now. Nothing beats it. I used a laptop screen only before that.. big difference!
i use dual monitors at college and at home for when i'm coding.
i have my code on one screen, and my virtual machine, or what the code will become on the other screen.

I have been wanting dual monitors for a long time now and for a number of reasons.

I just recently started using dual monitors and now I can't live without it!
