Wide Screen Monitors

[Hazell B]

Not when I keep getting them given :
Anyhow, I switch everything off when not in use, so it's bits of pennies however long I keep a ten quid old style monitor.

I think it's down to the cold in here. No heating in the office.

Personally I prefer a nice big single monitor for home use though I have used dual monitor setups when working and they are good in some situations though can be annoying sometimes too. But if you absolutely need a screen showing your stock prices and another for email then it's a worthwhile setup.

He runs his technical analysis and charts on one screen and the trading platform on another. Very cool. But for what I do, that's overkill.

But I am becoming rather fascinated with the idea of watching a race on one screen and having live timing & scoring up on the other. Hmm, that would be pure racing/geek porn. mokin:

For Monaco, I could even add a third monitor just for the uh... "harbor shots".

But as long as this computer lasts another year, I might go with a dual setup on whatever computer I buy next year. Even larger monitors are SO cheap these days!

What was wrong with square? I liked square. It meant that when I wrote an email it wasn't 400 chracters long per sentence, it meant that games and picture didn't look all squashed and it meant that the sreen where I'm writing this now wasn't surrounded by 5 acres of white background on either side.

How on Earth does your screen size or resolution have any effect on the number of characters in a sentence in an email? :

The only trouble you might find with that is online video tends to lag a few seconds, by when the live timing may have indicated something about to happen!

I've just written a page which will give me F1 live timing on one side and a live Twitter feed of F1 types down the right.

I'll stick to 2 TVs for world feed and onboard

Here's how it looks with Autosport's page, it should look better with the f1.com black Java app:

Carl meants the number of characters in a line.

This is what we set up at the in-laws' last year. We do a similar (but bigger ) setup at home, I'll do some photos once the season starts!
