Question:

What is the best use for an extra LCD monitor?

I have an extra 15 LCD computer monitor, what could I use it for? Can I hook 2 monitors to my computer? What do I need in order to do it?Serious answers only!

Answer:

Yes, you can hook up 2 monitors to a computer. You need an extra VGA outlet from your computer. Most video cards have two outlets. You cannot use one from the video card and the other from the computer case because the video card will disable the other. If you had two monitors, you can read two documents at the same time, instead of shifting from one to the other. Macinotsh had this function for about 10 years. New PC comes with graphics program that will let you active the second monitor. You can choose to display the graphics at 90 degrees (good for word processors) or even upside down.
