I've just stepped over to tft ( well kinda, im using a dualview setup with my trusted old crt as my 2nd monitor ) and was woundering about some things:

Is there a way to make the menu bar appear on the second monitor too ( i am aware of horizontal expansion mode, but i want to use dualview mode )?

Why is my tft 17'bigger as my crt 17' ?

My tft has a dvi-d input next to a vga one, I dont have a dvi cable and using vga instead, would a dvi cable improve image quality?

Any hints for more optimal usage/better experiance of both screens :) ?

Right im using (the trial version of ?) unltramon now.

I like the dual screensaver and the smart taskbar, used to use nview , isnt nview good enough to use ( as its free with nvidia drivers ) , what is the general recommendation?

Asked dad about diff monitor size, he said its generally known tft's are bigger as crt's for same inch ratings...

Finally whats the best place ( as in online shop/local shop or pc fair, not asking for specific names/compedators, im in the netherlands... ) to buy a dvi cable and do i need a different cable for dvi-d and dvi-i ( or whatever the 2nd mode is called ).

Also any more comments on what perticular things become nicer to see through a digital dvi cable than through analog vga?

EDIT: also when i use nvidia stuff to disable/enable one of my moitors, untramon gives problems like displaying dual taskbars on 1 monitor and none on the second :( woundering why they didnt make it compatible but conflicting with nvidia with the ammount of pc's running on nvidia drivers...

Woops, I misread his post and thought he said his CRT was bigger than his TFT... noob :D

So all TFT's have true inches spec-ed of the viewable area? (just need a confirmation)
