As the subject says, does anyone use AcidPro with dual screens ?

Is it possible to move the file explorer, bus displays, chopper etc into the second screen ?

If not, then will AcidPro 4 allow this. Or, at the very least, do dual screens cause any problems ?

thanks

Yes....it is possible do this with the current version of Acid Pro.

I definitely believe so. The only requirement(other than two monitors) would be to have two video cards or a video card with dual display support.

HTH,

I'm looking at a Matrox 550 with dual 19-inch CRT monitors. There's no trouble dragging some of the windows onto the second screen ?

Don't think of it as being two screens so much as it being one screen that is twice as wide. The desktop covers both monitors and you can rearrange any of your windows anywhere you want them on this double-wide desktop.

Next you'll need an electric swivel chair to point you at the current monitor.

Think on this one ... multiple UXGA LCD projectors and a very large wall.

Try not to faint. ;)

I've been dreaming for years of a wall-sized projected screen with voice control. Maybe by the time I'm old I can buy it with superannuation . . . after all it'll probably be what all the kids are using.

I have 2 monitors as well, Ati Radeon VE card. If you go to 4 monitors you have to get a co-pilot and another set of mouse/keyboard. Sorry, but the union is only thinking of your best interests. And your dues. :)
