Yes, but : how do you position them ? If they are centered relative to your line of sight, you're now staring right at two nice vertical bars of black plastic. And if you keep one monitor centered and the other on the side, the latter is way off-center, and you have to turn your head to see it. How do people solve that problem ? Also, where is the Windows taskbar ? Is it cut in half ? Duplicated ? On one monitor but not on the other ? |

I work in two languages and one of my peeves about Windows 10/Office 2013 is that I can no longer have windows or tabs in my browser open in the two languages. This means that when I look things up I keep having to change language and then change back (bi-directional languages, on top of different alphabet). Would dual monitors be able to work at the same time, each in a different language? |

Hi Bob, It is recommended that Dual Monitors are using the same connections(eg: DVI x 2 or DP x 2 or HDMI x 2), and not mixed connections(eg: DVI x 1 & VGA x 1). With the mixed connections the resolutions can be are different or even the same, But the Image will Always be better with Digital. The Digital(DVI,HDMI,DP) Image will always be sharper that the Analog(VGA). Analog & Digital together, your brain has to keep adjusting your eyes, each time for the different Image qualities and this will make you tide irritable. So always try and put both Monitors DIGITAL & DIGITAL so the images are both the same quality. Hope this Helps. |

As a batch programmer I would often have open my source code, the JCL to run a batch job, the input file(s) and my results (files and/or reports) when I was working on a project. Testing interactive programs was a similar experience. |

I was amazed when I tested an HDMI port on my computer and found that it gave me dual monitor capability. I really expected 2 of the same image. 2 monitors is nice! |

I use dual monitors and often split one or both in half. With Windows, use the Windows logo key plus left or right arrow to move open program to the left or right half of the screen. Example: on one monitor I may hold down the Windows logo key and then press E, left arrow, E, right arrow to open two copies of File Explorer and easily move files by dropping and dragging. Or, open two copies of Word and use Windows logo key plus left or right arrow to see two documents side by side on one monitor. With two monitors and one or two programs open on each, it is really nice to see 2, 3, or 4 programs at once. |

I'm still trying to drive a monitor while using my chromebox screen. Seems to be an either/or situation,a major shortcoming for chrome/linux. |

I have used dual monitors on my desktop for many years and would not change back to just one. |

I now use three monitors and, for the life of me, I don't know how I functioned with only one! |

Loved 2 monitors at work. Upon retirement, I came across a 2nd 24" monitor. Hooked it up....and up the video card. It wasn't designed for 2 monitors (memory issues). $80 (including installation costs) and I'm up and running. Run 2 separate screens (actually have 2 computers, each with 2 monitors, running stock trading info). |
