Re: Justify 2nd Display

Dennis,

I think it has to do with the amount of room you have to open windows, in other words a 19" monitor has more "real estate" than a 15" monitor. Consider what you are working with now and remember what you had in the past. I know that when I have a bigger monitor I can have more things active and at a bigger size (I have poor eyes). So if I get dual 19" monitors I can have a WDSc debug session going on one monitor and a green screen session that I'm debugging on another, I don't have to Alt+tab from one to the other. I know that the more lines of code I can see at any one time makes it easier for me to understand what is going on, so I believe in WDSc, I can undock a tab with one member in it and put it on one monitor and be editing another member on the other monitor.

Read some of the links that were in earlier responses and see if any of it would work for you. Since I don't currently have two monitors I will probably be learning a whole lot more that the subject.

I tried using two screens and just found it annoying. How does it
increase your productivity? I find I can only work on one item at a time,
so the only difference, (for me), was in the ability to have more windows
open for viewing.
