I finally setup dual monitors

🂿 · December 30, 2016, 08:42:00 PM

I dug my old monitor up from my closet and seeing now that I upgraded to a bigger and nice desk, I finally have the desk space for a dual monitor setup. This second monitor isn't anything special, its just a cheap Dell monitor from 2007 with DVI, where my main monitor is hooked up via HDMI.

So.... Yeah. Any questions? Also if nobody cares, that's fine and dandy. I know who I am and I know what I'll always be to the community, that's why I don't come here very often anymore.

I understand not everyone has the space for a TV, and in my case I use my main monitor to startup my Xbox One as well, and no the main monitor doesn't have multiple HDMI ports.

I always expect something negative from you, and you didn't fail to disappoint. So.... thanks for your contribution?

Oh and another thing, yes. Yes I do know how to minimize Windows. I've been using Windows since you were only 3. Its my computer, my extra space, and my monitors, I'll do what I want with them.

It enables master multitasking for certain projects that couldn't be done normally with just one monitor.

Like recording my new machinima series. I don't have a TV anymore and though my capture card setup is HDMI, my main monitor only has one HDMI port and one VGA port, the computer plugs into HDMI and DVI natively. I could technically hook up my DVI to VGA converter giving me less resolution on my main monitor causing me to switch inputs each time between Xbox One (HDMI) and the PC to view my capture software, but that makes things tricky because the capture software has a 5 second delay on purpose, and no that can't be changed in any of the settings.

Sandtrap I'm glad that you get it. People like Verbatim just don't understand. Then yet again this is the same guy that did say to me he hopes that my computer explodes.

Die fgt

Care to make a donation? I don't have the money for a CRT. In fact I don't really have the money for anything right now until I find employment.

I was almost a necessity to have two monitors at times when I streamed art or games. It's nice to see the comments and such on one window to interact with the viewers whilst playing on the other.

Some people require the extra space for working.

Holy shit. What do you do that requires 6 monitors?

I used dual monitors during computer graphics class back in high school. Made doing projects so much easier.

I don't.
A good number of programmers spread out their work, and that's an example.

This. More monitors is great. When I work, I never have any less than 5 Word documents open at any time. Add onto that a webpage or 2, an Excel file, an email in Outlook and 3 PDF's of legislation or literature. Constantly minimizing and enlarging is such a pain and waste of time when dealing with that many materials. We're given 2 screens by default and have the option of getting a third one as well.

i never have less than 4 word documents open in my free time, and minimizing works out okay for me--and are you really saving that much time when it's physically impossible to be working on more than one document anyway? i don't think so, unless you're just bad at keeping track of your things

granted, i don't use excel or outlook, but even if i were as busy as you are, i simply can't look at having more than one monitor as anything greater than a ludicrously excessive "luxury"--which i can only imagine how it must look to passersby

Verbatim · December 31, 2016, 12:39:28 PM

congratulations to the guy with six monitors btw

i'm sure that totally doesn't exacerbate the issue at all

because now, instead of getting your windows mixed up, you can get your monitors mixed up--how convenient

Why do you have to act like an angry little kid over someone being able to multitask better with more monitors?

Do you have any idea how autistic you look?

because people wasting money on pointless, luxurious shit SHOULD piss you off, especially when they're pompous about it

the fact that YOU get so pissed over me getting pissed is fucking hilarious to me, so i'm ALWAYS going to, because i know you love it--the second i posted that response, i knew you were going to jump on it and sperg out, because that's what you do

and yes, i'm incredibly aware of that, and i'm incredibly proud of it--looking autistic is the only way worth looking
