I want 2 screens but need advice

mattgaunt · 29 Jul 2007 at 22:18

Hey everyone

Ive got the money together to buy 2 monitors for my comp

I want DVI inputs, but also be able to use VGA on the monitors

Ive been lookin at the Samsung 940BW

Its a 19inch widescreen monitor, now heres where i need some help

Is 19 inch too big??? bearing in mind im goin to spend a fair bit of time sat in front of these doin uni work

Do i want widescreen or would normal be better when using 2 screens??

Second of all - The monitors have good ratings but is there anything i **** be looking out for on the spec?? cos with monitors i really cant tell the difference in any of them cos i dont know what to look for

So any help would be awesome

Hope to hear from you guys soon

Byyeee

whats your budget cus tbh the hanns g hw191d is great and cheap i have one dvi and vga they are wide screen but i say once you try it you wont go back to 4:3 ever again.

wide screen will probably be better any ways as working with documents etc will give a bit mor room.

Ive probably lookin at £150 each so £300 in total

Are you recommending the Hannsg cos uve used them before?? or are they a better spec??

Only reason i ask is i have a samsung at the mo, but office im working at is using hannsg so jus wondered if they are similar quality or if hannsg is better.

Thanks fors the help D.Roberts

i have 2 19" widescreens and now i cant live without them. 2 screens are so useful, once you get them you'll never want to go back!

yeah well i do a lot of programming cos of uni and i have so many screens open at once, 2 screens *** really help, and everyone i know who has 2 says that cudn't go back

Also dont know if uve heard of beryl - if not check out youtube and jus type in beryl, but cant wait to set it up on my machine and get cubes spinning on both of the screens
