How do you use 2x 24" screens? I'm considering adding a second 24" to my PC but I'm not sure I'd actually use it.
Having a second monitor is worth every penny IMO, and if you're a big multitasker you'll slap yourself upside the head for not getting one earlier. But it doesn't really have to be 24", it's just the fact that you have a second screen to put stuff on the side on that's important. Just to give you ideas of what I do with mine:
- If I need to look up info for a report or programming project, I'll have the internet open on the side one with MS Word / visual studio open on the main one. Much easier than constantly alt-tabbing.
- When surfing the net, the second monitor is used for a media player, displaying my music library, watching a movie, and stuff like that
- When setting up stuff on my server, I just use remote desktop and maximize it on the second screen - without really interrupting what I'm doing on the primary one, and switching back and forth becomes as easy as moving the mouse over.
- You can also play video games on the main screen while vent/teamspeak is open on the second one - to see who's talking.
Like I said, it's really nice to have one. But there's no reason to get a big one, or even a good quality one - just as long as it's there. (unless it becomes beneficial to your work or something)
