Multiple Monitors

[Dark Mind]

How many of you are using more than one monitor on a single computer?

[C1ay]

Quite the reverse for me, I'm using one monitor, keyboard and mouse for 2 computers at the moment ;)

[Tormod]

At work I use an apple powerbook hooked up to an apple widescreen monitor.

 

At home I only use one 19" monitor...but I wouldn't mind getting two 19" flatscreens... ;)

I'm like C1ay, 'cept I got 4 machines on the switcher, with two keyboards and three mice due to one being a mac and one windows machine being really finicky about wanting to have the mouse run directly to it....

 

Cheers,

i have 2 computers, one mac and one windows, with individual monitors lying around my room. this place is a wire zoo. also, a laptop on a wireless connection.

I got one vote for "Yes, I am using more than one monitor." but from what I read I got the impression that all of you were only using one monitor (or less ;)) per machine. Although I'm not sure about Tormod (But who ever is? ;))

It still seems like you have the same screen on the widescreen monitor as you do on the powerbook.

 

Maybe my question was unclear. What I was wondering: How many of you currently have at least two or more monitors hooked up to one machine, like this...

Note: The above is not my computer, I just wish it was.

I've always been wondering, where did you get your name from orbsycli

[Queso]

i made it up one night when i was writing poetry and it made sense at the time, but now i just leave it up to whatever anybody wants it to mean.

"...accumulating ice when the sun tends to die

orbsycli was intended for patience..."

from something i wrote called 88:88

the name comes from a microwave at a house i practiced with, with an old band. we were fascinated how time could just be 88:88 all the time, and we played for hours and the time never changed. childish, stupid-whatever it was, it was amazing.

[Dark Mind]

Very insightful actually. Too bad you couldn't of fixed the microwave though.

[Queso]

it was perfect the way it was.

Not me!

 

It still seems like you have the same screen on the widescreen monitor as you do on the powerbook.

 

No, it becomes a dual screen setup. At home I forgot to say that I run a PC with the 19".

 

That setup in the photo you posted would fit nicely in my wet computer music studio dreams...

:note: :note: :note: :note: :note: :note: +++One of my roommates who is nameless but his initials are Frosty, has 3 computers & 3 monitors on his dersk for gaming (also a laptop for when he's on the road). No single machine has multiple monitors though. :)

[Dark Mind]

Ummmm, incorrect? Just look at the thumbnail Turtle, just look at the thumbnail (Post 7 or 8 I think). I also believe that you need multiple video cards to accomplish this.

[Queso]

i think turtle was just explaining a similar situation, but not exact. just showing his side of this multiple monitor computer world. :rant:
