    Dual DIsplay Gaming

    Nice write up over at Tom's Hardware

    Wish more games would start supporting this.

    Wow! Now that's gaming!
    Is there anyone that currently has more than one monitor display?

    I use a seperate laptop - that's as close as I currently get. But this concept image would be cool:



    It sure would beat having to press escape or tab every time you wanted to look at the map or team view.

    No, I cannot commit the space for an additonal monitor at this point. IF I had some flat panels, then I would love to do it.

    I've used a dual monitor setup for years. I, too, have lamented not being able to use them for gaming. Right now I just put Ventrilio on the other screen so I can easily see if someone (or myself) has an open mic.

    I have two monitors connected to my main rig, but one is just a 17in Gateway POS I took home instead of throwing away one time. I don't have them mounted right next to one another. I have the Gateway on a shelf to the upper left on my desk. I use it to put the server app, ventrilo, etc on or when I'm doing some misc photo or video editing, etc.

    It doesn't work real well for the server remote as you still have to tab out of the game to have mouse control for the 2nd monitor window.

    Multimonitor gaming has been a pipe dream for quite awhile going back to building racing sim chassis setups, etc.
