Seeing in stereo

I recently purchased another 17″ Benq TFT LCD monitor with the goal of doubling my productivity… Well, not really. The real reason is ’cause it is just plain cool.

This is not the first time that I have had such a setup; during my uni years I used to wow my flatmates by showing them a screen saver that moved across both my 19″ and 15″ CRT monitors. For some weird reason I gave the second screen up when I purchased my first LCD monitor.

Now the dual screen is back in all of its brilliance and I must say how incredibly useful it is. Imagine:

  • One screen for code, the other for preview;
  • One screen for Photoshop tools, the other for the design;
  • One screen for documentation while you are knee-deep in PHP.

It is something that all web developers should not be without.
