Depends what you want to do with 2 monitors.

never do two monitors for gaming... the bezel runs straight down the middle... its either 1 or 3..

if you really want a big setup buy a 32" LED tv with 1000hz refresh rate and 4ms response and youre sweet to go..

the ONLY time I think dual monitors is worth it is if you have your main screen to game on, and the other as an extension to your deskop to monitor hardware, cpu/mem temp and usage...

for gaming 2 monitors is horrible

Recently bought an old game to play while i have a break from xbox. Thought it would look good on 2 monitors.

Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 n 3.

If you are hoping to have the game up on 1 screen and browse the internet on the other screen you would need 2 graphics card for that because as soon as u go to the other screen the game will just minimize (provided you wanted to keep the game open).

Doesnt matter what you have as soon as you open these 2 games its going to shrink the resolution down. Rollercoaster tycoon 3 is shit 2 was way better.

Run your games on 1 screen, run misc programs on the other its the only way to go. Otherwise buy a very big screen. Pretty much like monstah said.

I see. Was going to use 2 Benq G2420HD monitor's but better off getting a 27" screen or something.

Personally love RC2,building Go-Karts which brings in a shit load of money.

I used to run 2 G2420hds myself and it was such a waste because theyre great monitors but I only ever used one for gaming the other for the desktop...

these monitors are roughly $200 each, and a 27" is around $400... What I would do is save up a little bit more and buy a 32" LCD tv from LG(lowest response time)

Wouldn't want a monitor/tv that big just for a computer screen..Biggest i would go is 27" cause i will be sitting fairly close.

I have 2x 19 because I already had the first one and it works great for having a game on the middle and vent/xfire/temps on the side one. It's even better for coding, you can have the browser in the middle and the coding on the side, or even a movie/tv on the side while you browse the net in the middle.

^^ Actually like that idea...I have a spare 19 around the house somewhere so might buy another and save the money.

I run 2x 24in monitors, i usually run my games etc off monitor 1 and run all my misc apps off monitor 2 i.e vent, IM conversations, monitoring tools etc.

2 monitors has its advantages when your doing assignments/work etc

Basically if you were going to use 2 monitors in your PC setup i would only run the games you want to play off 1 screen.

Dual moniters is cool, but if you want games on one screen and everythin else on the other, don't forget you'll still need to alf tab out of the game. If you have an old shitty computer then you cod have 2 computers going if preventin apt tabbing is whatyou want.

Yeah was going to put RC2 on one screen and msn and shit on the other.

2 monitors ftw, 3 amagad!

2 screens are awesome, I couldn't go back to using just one. Games on one side, iTunes, xfire, vent and everything else on the other. It's also really handy for doing uni/school work as mac said.
