| 1468158 | 2020-04-12 07:58:00 | Any of you guys use dual screen at a home setting without the use of work or doing much home finance etc . . ? I can see how it can be useful with a spreadsheet like MS Excel on one screen and a PDF invoice document on the other screen . For day to day use at home how useful do you find dual screens? It takes quite a bit of space . I had to take my Epson flatbed / film scanner off my desk . A 24" and someone else's 23" screen here both together measures about 110cm left to right . I find that for home finance it is useful to see the numbers clearly rather than 2 reduced size dialog boxes on a single screen . Day to day may not so much . Cheers . |

| 1468160 | 2020-04-12 08:29:00 | I have two 24" monitors sitting side by side on my computer desk. I am not a game player, and I use both screens constantly. I run a small window on one displaying my TV and MS Edge (and also MS Office applications) while the other has Brave in full screen mode. I am constantly swapping between browsers and the Office applications. I did have a 3rd monitor (a 22" model) set in Portrait mode set up to the right of the other two monitors. It was great for displaying a whole A4 page when using Word :) |

| 1468166 | 2020-04-12 23:25:00 | How about if you are not working on stuff. I guess if you are often working on a computer, put yourselves on average Joe's shoes. You finish work and come home; you don't have work to do or strong interest. How important is a dual screen for you? I use mine for photography but I just use Adobe Lightroom so I don't find that I need a dual screen b/c you can you just switch from thumbnail grid view to a single enlarged photo view quickly and it's just a hobby I don't need 2 screens to work quickly and churn out images every 2nd day. Apart from my hobby photography, it's just that end of month personal finance I do for myself. Other than that I am just watching YouTube, reading the news or maybe some Trademe or eBay but not so much lately I have enough stuff and given the current economic climate. Those of you who use dual screen. What kinda usages or what is generally on each screen? |
