Who uses a dual monitor setup at work or home for that matter?

I have used them in the past, prefer 2 separate PCs now.

Dual 19" wides at the office, powered by an ATI Fire GL on Vista 64. Use them heavily when doing remote work.

Quake Live takes issues with it sometimes though.

Are you using aero? Theres a QL config setting to clear that up somewhere if so.

Yup. If I have my browser in the right screen...within a few minutes of playing the curser will jump out of the screen and be active on the left screen.

Works fine if I have my browser on the left screen. But the way my desk is setup with the monitors, it's much more comfy and instinctive (movement wise) to have the browser on my right screen.

@ home 2 19 inch normal aspect ratio I-Inc AG19D's on a Radeon HD 2600 XT. It would have to be a BIG monitor to get me to go back too just one display.

Ah, not the issue I was thinking of, sorry, no fix that I know of.

Your keyboards survive in that? I use the waterproof sealed in rubber keyboards for shop environments.

This logitech wireless is about two years old and still works good. It is starting to look bad and the keys feel a smidgen sticky at times.

You got a recommendation for a specific one when I replace it?
