| 584509 | 2007-08-25 07:03:00 | I am looking at either buying 2 samsung 22" 225BW monitors or buying 1 samsung 24" 245B monitor. I usually have 4 to 5 programmes running and find it a hassle having to switch program to view on my current 19". No demand for high graphics though, just normal office work. Which is a better solution - 1 or 2 monitors. Am running a Pentium D so should be able to handle 2 monitors if this is a better solution. Any suggestions? Thanks. | ephesus (2509) | ||

| 584512 | 2007-08-25 11:52:00 | Yes the graphics card does support 2 monitors - 2 DVI. Its a GeForce 6600GT 256mb. Is is necessary to have any specialised software? | ephesus (2509) | ||
| 584513 | 2007-08-25 12:05:00 | No, only the nvidia drivers | The_End_Of_Reality (334) | ||
| 584514 | 2007-08-25 12:16:00 | Just been reading a bit about 22" monitors. Can I actually get more page space on a 22" versus a 20" or a 19". Some reviews say that 22" has the same page space as a 20" - I am confuse. | ephesus (2509) | ||
| 584515 | 2007-08-25 12:32:00 | Provide links if it is on the net... | The_End_Of_Reality (334) | ||
| 584516 | 2007-08-25 13:55:00 | 2 22 inchers definitely! Your GFX card can handle it so why not??? I'm pretty sure that a 22" has more page space than a 19" or 20". Kind of like asking if A4 and A3 are the same size. | beeswax34 (63) | ||
| 584517 | 2007-08-25 22:17:00 | Consider the vertical resolution of a 20" wide screen vs a 20" conventional style, it is frequently a surprise. | R2x1 (4628) | ||

I use 2 monitors at work here (i13.photobucket.com) on a little 7300LE, however i use ultramon (www.realtimesoft.com) as well. It gives you better control of your apps on the monitors, quick moving to other monitor, task bar etc, wallpaper and screen savers controls also. |
