2 Iiyama TFTs or 1

Mikey · 24 May 2006 at 18:52

I've recently purchased a 2nd Iiyama E431S 17" 2nd hand, now I have it setup I'm not sure if I'm that keen on it. So the question is whether to run both, go back to one or sell both for a large screen.

Personally I much prefer having 2 TFT's. I went from dual 17" screens to a Dell 2405 but missed having dual screens so bought a second 2405.

Yeah maybe I'll get used to it..

I use two screens and i could never go back to one. Once you get used to it you'll be glad you did.

Mmm still not convinced.. Thing is I use two screens at work, my laptop and then a seperate 17" TFT and I think it's great, now I have this set-up at home it seems very uninvolving.

Lol, I like the decision

I have a 2405 and a 19" Xerox, and I really would not like going to 1 screen. I have to use 1 screen at work, and I hate it. It might take a while getting used to, but it pays in the end IMO.

It seemed like the sensible thing to do

i was conisdered doing this with my Iiyama E431S (a nice black one 360quid back in the day) but looking into a 2005/7WFP would be cool to have a 3 moniter set up like that

once you get used to it, its impossible to go back.
hate using uni pcs now, 1x17" TFT, fallen in love with my 2 samsung 930BFs, absolutely mint

what makes 2 screens better than 1? If you had 2 19" displays wouldnt it be nicer to just have one 38"? (apart from the fact its going to be cheaper)

and could you get 4 and run a res of 2560x2048?

How much money difference is 2x 19" monitors compared to a 38" ??? (would be 37" though)

a 30" Dell is near 1.5 grand...

If it was to be that line of thinking that I'd go for a 32" LCD HD TV and etc. But then I still like my stereo in one part of the house, the TV in another and the computer in another. I'm probably going to sell the TFT on again (may make a bit of money) as I don't think I've got enough use for it at home. At work it's a different matter....
