Well, it depends on what you do with it!! If you just game and stuff then dual monitors won't do you any good!! But for me I can do homework and stuff on one screen, talking or watching a movie on another, etc.

I run dual monitors and can't imagine going back to only one. I watch TV on one and surf on the other. I have Outlook open on the right and then when I click a link, it opens in the left monitor. Running duals has really spoiled me. When I am in Skype, I can chat in one and check the forum in the other. Nothing like it...talker.

I do the same. Surf and homework. Movies and homework. Homework and homework. LOLtalker, on Nov 27 2006, 06:59 PM, said:

I know that i will never go back to a single monitor. My father-in-law runs 3 LCD monitors and will eventually run 4--> linky (PAMD64, hope you all don't mind the link). I wish i had the cash to run 4...h3ll, i just wish i had the cash to run 2 LCDs LOL!

I want a 32in LCD but since I was given 2 of the 17in LCD I am running dual and although I have no homework it is nice to run duals, sorta like above I split and browse and type on seperate monitors, 4 would be really cool though!
