Yep, you get twice the desktop area, so you can run 2x full screen applications at the same time. For me, I often have a movie or TV running full screen on one monitor, and I can continue web browsing on the other.
All you need are 2 video cards (or a video card with 2 outputs), and 2 monitors. Easy as!  |

hmm that would be cool. i think i might ask my it guy at work for that. would make things so much easier.
my g/f complains that i spend too much time ont he comp at home as it is, imagine how it would be if i had 2 screens to do twice as much ha ha
think i would end up being single.......hmm |

well with 2 screens you can be almost twice as efficient, so you'd only have to spend half the time on the computer..
Ok, so maybe not entirely true, but a good sales pitch! |

Wouldnt 720p be yuk for PC? What resolution are you running at, or are you using a component output from your PC which does 1080i (obviously scaled down).
This is why I opted for the 24", it does full 1900x1200.. so 1080i VGA output from my set top box will look out of this world! |

I run at 1366x768, looks sweet on this size screen...I sit back a fair distance as well....1080 would have been nice but I think 720 is just right to read from where I sit  |
