Dual Monitors

[rockguy]

I have two monitors, a 20" LCD (non widescreen) and a 20" LCD (widescreen). I'm thinking of running (or trying) a dual monitor setup. My question is, will using a widscreen and non widescreen monitor together for this casue issues?

TIA
Rob

You're thinking of trying a dual monitor set-up? Jeez, Rob, I figured you'd already be set up that way!
Aside from, maybe, display differences, I don't think running two different monitors like yours will cause problems. I've been using a dual monitor set up for a couple of years now and can't imagine life without it...

Yah, I know. I'm behind the times. I haven't really had two montiors avaialble until now to do this. I've always been to cheap to buy the second one.

You'd better loosen up your purse strings at SWW...I heard that you're buying the first two rounds for us "chumps".

I have a Dell M90 laptop widescreen and a Dell 15" monitor. No issues running any programs, including SW, on dual monitors.

The only issue with two monitors with different resolutions is that you'll need figure out what looks best with the two of thme side by side. It's a minor matter, however.

Let's make Matt buy, he can write it off as a business expense for the '08 bible.
