Dual-screens aren't very useful when one of your screens is a 37" HDTV... and the other one is a 17" monitor :(
Shhh! I'm not officially back yet.

Our two desktops have a 15" CRT each. All our other computers are laptops, thus they have single LCDs. If/when we get a new desktop, I would like to get dual LCDs for it.

Nope. Still in the same boat I am. I have a CRT only because it seemed like a wonderful idea to get totally faced and smash crap with a hammer the night my friend got killed. My only regret is I was too drunk to remember what it looked like when the hammer hit the LCD.

I don't have Dual Monitors either.


And I too have a 17in LCD. It's a HP vs17e and it has the not so normal max resolution for a 17in of 1280x1024.

The P3 I've got in the basement for shop work and the one on these two Athlons I'm running are hooked up to 17" CRTs. My EEE dual monitors with a 15" LCD. I used to use my 19" for it, but the EEE won't run VGA out at a high enough resolution.

I've got my good desktop hooked up to my 42" HDTV with DVI. :D Not much of a gamer, but it's great for movies and my 360 in 1080p and Wii with component and surround sound.

My Lifebook's desktop, with XP Classic mode. My desktop has a single 17" CRT with nothing exciting about it. :lol: I hope to get a nice LCD (24" 1920x1200 hopefully) sometime in the foreseeable future.

That background is Awesome! Sometimes, I want to leave that actual effect on my own screen when I use my computer sometimes. :lol:
