Alas, my beloved LG L1730p is no more... images/smilies/cry.gif

May you rest in peace, my lovely and find salvation in silicon heaven... images/smilies/sad.gif

I know how you feel. I had dual 21"s and I had to cut back to one for some desk space. I felt an big empty void in the room.

Gotta clean up a bit first. images/smilies/tongue.gif

Will post soon.

It's not height adjustable, but i'll get the guys down at the plant to make me a pedestal. I'll swap them around too when that happens.

Not with that attitude, anyway.

I don't mean to be rude or anything but can you explain to me why are two screens much better than one? Hey I really can't tell. The only things that pop into my mind are: wathcing a movie on both, super-wide style, and some sort of multi-tasking. Do you work and play at the same time? Are they connected to the same computer?
Yeah, you may laugh, but they are serious questions images/smilies/happy.gif

IceBone · March 14th, 2008, 06:15 PM

Same computer, 1 desktop. Movies won't work, because for some obscure reason, windows can only natively display it on one screen at a time. I do a lot of design (as a hobby) and engineering (for work) and it's really nice to have the workspace on one screen and all the toolbars on the other, not cluttering your view. Then there's also Firefox and mirc, etc...

jack_black · March 14th, 2008, 06:22 PM

Sweet. That makes perfect sense.

Night_Hawk · March 14th, 2008, 06:44 PM

Ive used one of them before, they're pretty cool to play around with for a little while

I didn't think so many members here would actually have this at home though images/smilies/biggrin.gif

the mouse pointer can fly from one screen to another right?

IceBone · March 14th, 2008, 06:47 PM

Yup yup!

Crazyjeeper · March 18th, 2008, 02:17 AM

I love dual screens. I usually have a movie or top gear playing on one, and whatever else I'm doing on the other, or I'll have the internet on one and irc/AIM on the other, or while gaming have internet on one and the game in window mode on the other. Once you do dual, its hard to go back.

MadCow809 · March 18th, 2008, 02:23 AM

yup same here...

got a tv hooked up to my pc as a second monitor, watch F1/WRC on TV while surfing the net on the 22" widescreen : )

but the tv will soon be replaced by another 22" LCD images/smilies/cool.gif

Ive got dual screens, a 17" and a 22" widescreen. I usually have windows media player/utorrent/msn on one screen and whatever else I'm doing on the other, but it becomes extremely useful when doing assignments or something so I can have information open on one screen and word on the other.
