RE: FN-FORUM: New Monitor

date posted 6th August 2005 14:19

I'm using 2 Dells, 2405FPW and 2001FP, both work flawlessly. They're
connected to an nVidia based 6800GT graphics card with 2 DVI connectors.
Windows Display Properties allows you to specifiy how the desktop spreads
across the two screens along with the respective horizontal positioning of
the 2 screen areas. After that you just drag the windows around the desktop
that spans both screens.
