I'm such a dork, but it's sooo nice!

Even though it was totally unnecessary for me to get it, I found a great deal on a 19” LCD on eBay. Some guy got a bunch from a company that closed, so it had a few scratches on the stand; no big deal. I gotta be honest though, I love having dual displays! It really seems to be more productive.




This thing is very bright and very clear! I can’t believe how much darker the screen on my laptop is compared to this! Incase anyone is wondering, its made by NEC and the model is MultiSync LCD1920NX.

That would be pretty sweet. I envy you!

You should check these TouchPad things out to increase your productivity. Left and right click, scrolling, browser forward and back, double click, click and drag, even text size enlarging/shrinking with simple finger motions on the pad. They rock.

That's cool I might get myself a really nice desktop PC for Christmas and I think I might buy another LCD, probably 17", to run duals with.

Thraeryn: thanks
That touchpad looks interesting... I dunno if I could get used to it though.

I second that. Touchpads are nice when you don't have the room for a mouse. But, me being the lazy ass I am, I just use an optical mouse and sit my ass on the couch with the laptop!

I'll second that dual-head sentiment. I set it up at work and got so used to it, I did the same on my main system at home. They're not LCDs, though. Maybe someday...

Cant go wrong with NEC... their monitors Rock. I have a 17" LCD 1769V. Its soooo nice. No ghosting with games like lot of LCD's only 16ms refresh rate.. hella good for a lcd I think. It actually looks bigger than my 19" CRT too. Awsome monitors and a great deal! I payed 350ish for this one.

Not dorky at all. I would kill for a 19" LCD. They're just out of my price range. Nice grab!

You have are 100% correct on that one, except where I can't (aka work).

I'm running the same 1 19" and 1 17". I just can't get along w/o it.

I use dual monitors at work - Two 17" crt's with a Matrox G450 Dualhead. I have to say, I hate it! Could be the video card but everything pops up right in the middle so you have to drag it to one of the monitors to read. Also, video will only play on the left monitor using Windows Media Player. Just a pain to me. Works great for engineering apps. but not for general use in my opinion.

We just got dual monitors at work and it was a dream come true...heh....but thats because the monitors are dell ultrasharp 18.1"s.

I have to agree though...I will never go back to a single head display.

once you've been on three monitors...going back to two or one seems impossible

hehehe

3 x monitors = 3 x productivity

or at least that's what i keep telling myself

How are two displays more efficent for a normal home user ? (i.e. no video editing and heavy graphics work etc)

Do you guys read a .doc file on the left screen, and play CS on the right one?

I just can't imagine how one could use that much desktop space in a reasonable way.

So please, enlighten me. Because... well it definitely looks stylish

Frankly, Vulture, for a normal human being, 2 screens, especially 18" or larger are fine. I like to surf on 3 monitors, because I can chat full screen, and surf diff. forums on diff screens or whatever. Doing the video and writing music requires all the desktop real-estate you can afford yourself, as there are many aspects of those applications which is best to have a better view of.

Is that a common problem ?

Also, all I need is a video card that has two exits? (For a desktop pc)

Must be the video card. With mine, Windows pop up where they last ran, or if they are being run for the first time will come up in the middle of the left screen.
I can also play video on both monitors.. in fact, I just tried and I can have quicktime and realone player playing on the left, and have a full screen avi playing on the right in Windows Media Player.
