I am planning to get a 20.1" Widescreen TFT with 1680x1050 res to run along side with my 17" TFT.
Can you do that?
Can you do that?
Anyone run dual monitor with 2 different size and res?

Raymond, seems like we're both going to be doing the same thing, but mine is only a 15 incher

im running a 15" TFT LCD right now alongside a 19" TFT LCD, both using seperate resolutions, as the 15" cant produce the resolution the 19" can... quite awkward to use for me, there is the height difference as well... but im getting another 19" soon, both same model so look exactly the same... but i believe 17" TFT monitor is usually the same height as a 20.1" widescreen monitor...or so ive heard...tho still different resolutions...

I dont think the height is the same on a 20.1" as a 17"
in this review of the Dell 2005FPW it says:
which when i measured was slightly taller and a lot wider.

I usually use a 19" with a 21" at different resolutions - I find it quite useful to have two different resolutions running for different things - eg. photoshop with all the tools on the screen with the lower resolution making them nice and big.

Mud stop showing off!!!
Only kidding - how the h**l do you use 3 or 4 screens?
takes a little getting used to I found using different resolutions but its not too bad, as long as you are running Win XP of course - I think most versions of windows prior to that you were stuck with the same resolution on all monitors ( or certainly prior to Win 2K sp1)

the difference between 1050 and 1024 is tiny so in practice there isn't a big "step" in between so it should be ok i think. And the wallpaper will be SUPER wide.

Ah, cool. Well if it's rubbish then I'll just bin the old screen, I'm suprised I've lasted this long with it as I play games and it's got a 16ms refresh I believe.
Maybe that's why I suck

Viewsonic for me. But I do wonder how much better it will be over the Belinea screen
