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.

Have 24" Dell Ultra Sharp dual monitors at home and at work.

CAD drawings take up a lot of desktop space.

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.

got dual 19's right now but setting everything up for dual 24" Dell Ultra sharps like brazen has in the near future..just waiting on the prices to come down a little more.

Got a 24" widescreen LCD paired with an older 17" crt until I can get another 24" LCD.

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.

Just at work, 2-20's

yes

I have a few colleagues in the IT department that use a dual monitor setup.

I have a nice flat Dell (19" I believe) at work.

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?
