Dual screen or Widescreen?

FishFluff · 26 Dec 2006 at 20:39

I'm not sure whether I should go for 2 19inch screens or a really nice 20" widescreen. I mainly use my PC for playing World of Warcraft or for coding/photoshop stuff. I rarely watch movies/tv on it as I have a HTPC under my telly for that.

Has anyone got any experience of using both setups? I'm leaning towards the dual screen setup at the minute but it's a lot of cash to spend only to decide i don't like it!

well. iv just got my 22inch for xmas. AND WOOOO i wouldnt trade it for anything else iv had in the past.

i do photoshop and graphics and web design and allso a lot of games, and it handles them all brilliantly.

its a 22inch belinea. deffinetly worth it

get a dual setup.. once youve used a dual setup you'll never want to go to a single setup again.. trust me! go for the dual

Get a larger wide-screen.
Then you have the greatness of a nice wide-screen for games etc. and the space that 2x19" offers.

i think 19" wide screens are not worth getting. ive used by brothers for a bit and to be honest... its just tiny, and 20.1" isn't much bigger.

just invested ina 22" scrfeen myself, but i am still planning on buying another for a dual set up. as ive just said good bye to my old 17" dual setup.

i found it VERY useful in photoshop, just bung all the menus and tool bars you want on the other screen and use the primary for the whole image.

but again... 19" wide screens IMHO are very small.

tricky... so for now id say get a single 22" and plan ahead to buy a second.
