Dual Display:

IBM 6091 19i (old and fixed frequency (eugh!) but 19 inch )
Belinea 15" - new but small

A decent combination, the best of both worlds, as it were

Ok, I have a EIZO FlexScan F55 (Color Display Monitor !!!)

1024x768 / 85 Hz
Compaq MV720 17" 1280 x 1024

From 17" and higher I don''t think it really maters. And yes, if have played on a bigger one, and it is a big difference, but not by far as big as the step from 15" to 17". My eyes hurt when I''m behind one of those again.

Late last year I got a used, although seemingly pretty new, CTX 15" monitor ($25 along with a 486-25 system...I only cared about the monitor)
It does amazingly support 1280x1024x32-bit just fine though, although I only use 800x600 for my desktop.
Ah well, a new cheapo puter was first, a new monitor will come later
cheap packard bell everything. so sad.

a 17 inch KFC Chromaclear (whatever). I''m considering a dual display solution, is it any good?

WOW - so many posts - well let''s say 17" are the standard size, so the best res. would be 800x600 or 1024x768.
Sad thing I realize now is that as nice as my Panasonic S17 is I paid way to much for it 3 years ago. Back then a .26 pitch 16.1" viewable was amazing and at $699 it was expensive. Still love it though.

Hey how many of us run dual monitor configurations and have you enjoyed it or has it been as bug laden as I hear it is?

i have been using multi monitor for a while now, and although it can cause problems it provides so many advantages it is incredible.

Imagine doing your code with VC++ open on one monitor and gamedev.net, MSDN or the latest tutorial you have found open on the other. It makes things so much easier.

I still havn''t tried multimonitor debugging when in fullscreen though, as I have read so many nightmare stories about it.

I would also like to just confirm that multimonitor under Windows 2000 works extremely well (better than 98).

Multimonitor - get it, try it, love it
As I wrote before, I''m considering whether a dual monitor configuration would be good for me!

How is it to setup? I mean will me BIOS complain when I''m using a AGP and a PCI/ISA gfx adapter, and how about windows? (win 98SE currently!)
