| 1306634 | 2012-10-13 06:50:00 | Hi Team It was E-Waste day today, and it was time I disposed of our CRT monitors (15" Philips, 17" Philips and a 21" IBM, I can't believe I ever worked on a 14" screen, let alone 15"!) so yesterday I took delivery of two Samsung 24" LED 2mS 'gaming' monitors from AlphaCity. Their service was great and the items were couriered here in just a little over 24 hours. Price was $248 each, which seems to be pretty darned sharp pricing, but the net cost after I claim the GST back is $220 each. All that aside, I am having difficulty coping with a PF1 window that runs the full width of the screen and I actually have to turn my head to read each line of text within the window, so I am assuming that I can narrow this down somewhat, however being new to such luxury I have no idea how one does this. I've seen images of screens with more than one program open at the same time and individually displayed, so it must be possible but so far I haven't found the answer. So where do I look? Cheers Billy 8-{) Actually disposed of three monitors, a TV and a microwave oven, all working fine. Shame really. |

| 1306635 | 2012-10-13 07:15:00 | On win 7 you can grab the program drag it left or right flicking it hard and it resizes to half screen. I can't do that though as it doesn't work with dual monitors | gary67 (56) | ||

| 1306638 | 2012-10-13 08:36:00 | I say learn to move your eyes, I have never had an issue unless it's a big screen that I'm close to, you probably aren't used to the radius of turn. That being said, yes aero snap will work on dual monitors, just drag the window to one side to fill half the screen or press win + left or right arrow. Dragging to the top or up arrow does full screen. |

| 1306640 | 2012-10-13 09:43:00 | Billy, I only have a 22" but still find that I tend to move my head when reading across the screen, even though the screen is about 800mm away. I tend to lean back(slouch) in the chair when reading. When I sit up straight I do as Jen suggested and make the window narrower. I sometimes run two windows side by side, especially when researching or comparing things. |

| 1306643 | 2012-10-13 22:16:00 | At least Aucklanders have E-Waste Day, since E-Day discontinued. Have some stuff here that we could get rid off .. I have a 24", I just resize the window manually, I frequently have a MS Outlook window and a MS Word window side/side. 50/50. |
