Comment Re:But do you need multiple monitors? (Score 1) 263

You need dual+ monitors for when you want to open two seperate things. It's not that often other than movies, which are better seen in my home theater setup anyhow than a smallish computer monitor (in comparison). Very rarely do I want something to strech across 2 screens or be that wide, however all the time practically it's great to have dual monitors that you can maximize to easily. If you had one big screen when you wanted to maximize your browser it'll take up the entire widescreen so you would end having to manually resize it to only take up a smaller amount. With 2 screen it's simple and in the rare case I want something double size I can strech it across if I want. Seems like a better solution. If I want my calendering program or a document open in one screen and a browser in the other doing research with multiple windows to toggle between not having to manually size them is significantly better. Or say you want some small programs on the sie playing music, signed in to aim, etc. you can leave those on the secondary and do the rest of your work on the primary while still having it be easy to keep an eye on those other apps without having to worry what programs are open trying to cover up everything else and come into the foreground.
