Mighty Microsoft has some very good information in this informative article about the joys and advantages of using two monitors on your computer. The writer recommends we use two identical monitors (mine are!) to avoid having size differences in items showing on the different displays, which of course makes good sense. He also explains other considerations of using two monitors rather than one. I haven't been using the two monitors long enough yet to be able to add any intelligent remarks, except to say "Don't knock it if you haven't tried it." He also comments on using a single big monitor instead of the two smaller ones. At the risk of sounding smug here, I just happen to have both of those arrangements, and I'm not sure yet which I really prefer.
This whole thing was mostly serendipitous, one thing just leading to another, until it all came together. The flat screen TV became the monitor on one computer, freeing up that one's monitor, which became the second of an identical pair on the other computer. I had it all here to begin with, but just hadn't realized it.
Please Note:
In the article, it mentions "Applies to Windows 7". It also works for Windows 8.
