Two Monitors on One Laptop!

[jake-thesnake]

Wow I don't know why i didn't try this before but I now have two monitors on my laptop!
All I did was hook up my Acer Laptop to one of my LCDs and then configure and now I have double the working space! This is so cool, I've seen people do it before but I didn't know I could do it too!
If you haven't tried it yet I highly recommend it if you want to play a game or something.
example:

Now you can look up twice as much porn!

Wow, can I do this with my table computer? And if i can, how?

I've always had an HDTV hooked up to my macbook, proves useful when I need a bigger screen or a placeholder.

But for the very busy man...

Yea all you need is two monitors, a graphics card that supports it, and an extra cable thing. (I forgot what it is called). After you have both your cables hooked up and then go to Control Panel, and click on Display, and then go to settings and you will see your monitor there and just drag it to where you want it.

No my computer just runs faster when it has all of that other stuff disabled. :P

I'm the same, although I'm probably only going to go for 1 extra because I don't like the idea of having them too high (You have yours sideways, right?) so I couldn't manage 4 22" sideways! How much does having dual screen help with music? I have no idea of the process so I dunno where it could be useful!

You can have them as a two by two square. Just mount the other two right above. A comrade of mine does that.

When I saw the topic name I started thinking of something TOTALLY different...

sigh, my mind is fucked up.

[XxRobJohnsonxX]

dual monitors is okay....

Really useful when reading a walkthru AND playing a game.... otherwise....

A GLORIOUS WASTE OF ELECTRICITY!

[Falonefal]

Meh, why 2 monitors? I mean, it seems rather useless, when I am playing a game, I rather want to keep playing it rather than being distracted by shit from the other monitor.
No WAI.

Yeah, but I have no interest in looking up, 22" height wise is perfect, any higher would be neck straining :(

[turtleaja]

[zombiemaster]

[Mendou]

Having two hooked up monitors is absolutely retarded.
