Dual screens here as well (Dell 2001FP's, 1600x1200 IPS goodness).

I use mine for Photoshop. Picture on the Left hand screen, and every tool I commonly use opened on the Right.

How do you split between two screens?
Do large LCD screens also use more RAM memory?

[Philip Scott]

Damn.

I was expecting some suggestion of paranormal activity below ground!

John.

2 screens requires a Graphics card with 2 or more output's. Some scarily expensive cards have 6 of them.

It does require a little more oomph, but Generally this fairly niche kind of setup is limited to people that do heavy picture and video editing, and will easily have a PC capable of driving 2 screens.

As for getting the picture between both screens, It's a function of both Windows, and the appropriate driver. Most people will Expand the desktop, so in my case I have 2 screens, with 1600x1200 pixels, giving a 3200x1200 resolution. Given that these are 20" screens, people with Eyesight problems need not apply, as the Dot Pitch of the picels is pretty small compared to the majority of Monitors.

I do want to add a nice 27" in the centre of the two 20" screens, and chuck the lot on an Adjustable Gas-lift arm, but in addition to a fairly expensive monitor, I'd need a Grap[hics card upgrade, as my current one is only Dual-Head (2 Outputs), and a hefty Gas-lift arm. Short of finding a briefcase full of cash (it'll take over £1K to do what I want properly, the gas arm is about £400 on it's own), it's not happening though.

Got 8 screens on one system at work - but admittedly that running an oil production platform so theres a bit more to look at! ;-)

Well, when I clean my desk off it is. Soldering stuff all over it at the moment.
