How many of you work with Duel Screens?

I will never go bak to CRT. And i'm waithing for new Sony OLED displays. At the moment I'm with 19" TFT's at work and 22"widescreens (TFT) at home.

 

Is it THAT great? Then I think I must try it, can someone educate me how to? My MSN ID is in my profile!

Yes I can't wait for OLED displays, but they should like they are going to be pricy.. any thoughts?

 

I'd like to have the 27" one, but I don't see that happaning soon (or at least in the few months.

Correctus - waht's your video card?

 

Any idea on the prices? Cuz when LCD came out they were very expensive back then...

 

i'm sitting here browsing forums and submitting to directories while watching Smoking Ace's i'd say its good, shame film aint lol

 

I think they will be someything like $5000 (at least), but that's not the point - they will preserve my eyes (and since i'm in front of the computer most of the day) that's not the thing wich matter.

 

I dont know... but my driver is S3 Graphics ProSavageDDR

Do you know where do I find which Graphics/Video card I am using? (XP)

I think that graphic card is too old, look at the back of your PC do you have two ports for the screen?

 

zomg no Does that mean... does that... mean... I... I CANT have Duel Screens?

:S

It's very possible. yes

 

Man there are graphic cards avaliable for 50-60 dollars that will do the job.
If you really want to try Dual Screen, which I really recommend.
Then go buy that graphic card now!

 

Oh COME ON theres gotta be a way?

EDIT: I'll Ping my hardware dealer first thing in the morning, thanks KoK!

Alright tell me how it rolls tomorrow

 

How old is your computer? And what you'll gain when you ping him?

 

Hehe I think he meant Ring him.

 

Well I used to be on a forum... where we said "I'll ping you" to mean "I'll contact you", so I guess thats where it has stuck from to my e-lingo.

My computer is a vintage one, bought it back in 2k2.

you don't need two monitor ports to have duel monitors, my second one is USB second screen can only go up to 1024 X768 though

 

I dont need more than 1024 x 768, but the monitor needs to have the cord as a USB as well right? The thing is I already have two monitors (five in fact) and they are all serial ports.

Sorry - buy my English isn't so brilliant and I have problems with Idioms (slang or what you call it). So I’m sorry for that stupid question. I don't think your computer is too old, but sometimes dual monitors can give you a lot of trouble if you aren’t familiar with it.

Well – usually – you need (or your OS can crash). I don’t know about USB, but that’s not true for video cards with two ports.
