how many people work with dual monitors?

[PsiPhi]

And how many mices Frosty?
- or is that technology beyond you!

[Bergalia]

That's an unfair question PsiPhi - when you know full well the correct technical term is 'meece'....

Two? pff... I love my three monitor set up. I dominantly use rhino so I put two views on one screen, two on another, then the third has all the pallets, tools, or other software.

I would love an extra screen or two. One 17" 1920x1200 lcd is not enough space, even with 6 linux pages, page swapping is a pain. I was thinking of a projector to give me a 48" or so presentation for overview etc..

May wait till someone else has "made that wheel"

Like the idea of multiple screens.

Have a look at the Dell 30" monitor, 2560 x 1600 pixels.

Currently $A1500 and worth every penny.

Once you have used one you won't go back to dual monitors.

Thanks Andrew!

I just had a look and the 30" Dell is currently $A1798 but including a free clour laser printer. I bought mine for $A1498 about 6 weeks ago so I would expect Dell to offer it at that price or better in the near future.

It's the unfortunate thing about Dell, their prices jump around all over the place and sometimes you just have to be patient and wait for them to do a special offer on what you want.

The other thing you will need if you buy this monitor is a good video card, many of the older video cards won't drive a monitor this big (it needs dual link DVI output) and very few laptops are capable of it.

Andrew, Where was it made? - I mean the manufacturer? possibly Quanta or Compal. It should be on the compliance label.

[Andrew Mason]

I've had a close look at the labels on the back and apart from Dell's name I cant see any other manufacturer's name. It does say "Made in Dong Guan China" if thats any help.

[masalai]

Ok from a search of about 7 manufacturers I can find it if they are on the web.

Thanks Andrew, is now on my to-do list

Dell was the last bloke that owned it.

The last bloke what owned mine was a guy called Pat Pending.

Have a look at the Dell site here for more details

And how many mices Frosty?

Mouses. Even I know that, and I didn't even make grade 1 the first time. Seriously. I flunked grade 1 because I was allergic to clay and couldn't write exams...

Ive got a real big mouse --I call it a moose.

Actually I found it in the garbage. It even had a USB plug on it. Once I got the yoghurt and some other vile stuff off it it worked fine and even has a little light on it that flashes on and off --its great.

I normally check the garbage every few days but now I check every day.
