Default Just rigged up 2 monitors on the PC...quality

After having my PC respec'd by a mate i bought a massive 22" widescreen monitor

So that left me with my old 17" monitor doing nothing.....so i have now rigged it up to work alongside the new one. So i can now have 2 pages running at once and working or watch a HD film in one and passionford in the other



Proper computer geek if anyone comes and see's it......

All I need now is a twin header gfx card, which would allow me to increase the desktop to two screens like Tiffany does... At the moment the second screen (the one turned off in the pic) is just hooked up to a Freeview box/dvd player, and not to a PC... I need to change it tho (the monitor) to a particular Dell one (20" widescreen 2005 model) that has component, s-vid, composite aswell as VGA + DVI so I can hook it all in

Two monitors rocks!

I take it you have installed Ultramon to get the full effect?

so you DONT have 2 screens on the PC yet then, you got a pc AND a dvd player

hell ive got a pc, laptop, projector, tv and a portable dvd player beside me right now

not as impressive as moving the mouse from one screen to the other ( keeps me amused at work for hours when im bored too,,, honestly that and dragging things accross for fun

aint got a clue about my set up as we got a 45 year old virgin still living at home with hes mum and nan who deals with the PC stuff

Whats that
Its a programme that good friend of mine told me to install after hooking up 2 monitors to my pc, it has many uses

http://www.realtimesoft.com/ultramon/download.asp

There's the site for a quick download, I've used it for ages and with no problems
