Hi!

I want to start with modeldesign and noticed that a 17" monitor is too small to work with.
But what is the better way?

Two smaller (17") monitors + a video adapter
One big monitor (24"?)

2_or_1
single choice

hmm - i would say 2 big monitors are better wink

(at least i think two monitors are always the better configuration - for professional working/painting/design... and privat things too:) )

I'd go with two 19"> Screens, as you can better assign the
application windows to a certain monitor, instead of the 24"
where you have to arrange them always by hand.

But it also depends on what kind of work you want to do with them....

I just changed from two 19'' monitors to a one 24'' wide screen and i prefer the wide screen much more, especially for gaming or watching blurays.

It depends on the software you use. Many modeling tools are just one window. But if you do much painting then it might be cooler to put the tool palette of GIMP as an example at the second monitor.

And keep in mind: If you put all these windows far away from each other then you also have to move the mouse to these positions over longer distances. Maybe you should check that out first.

i also changed from using a 19" and a 21" monitor to just one 24". when using two monitors i had more screen space but having a gap in the middle often was annoying. the 24" monitor is really nice and i wouldn't want to work without it anymore. 30" also would be nice but that's still more for rich people. :p

you don't have to arrange them manually. if you right click on the taskbar you can tile windows and there are tools which provide much more options for arranging windows.

I have a 22" Widescreen and a 19" CRT at one pc. It is perfect to read pdf manuals on the second screen while i have the application on the first screen.

Or...

To animate models Lightwave has a special window called Graph Editor. It makes sense to move this Graph Editor to the second screen.

Also placing the monitors too far apart, makes the mouse be
invisible in the gab inbetween wink

Also placing the mousepad too far apart from your keyboard may cause a serious pain in your shoulders laugh

But seriously: Did you ever sit down in the first row in the cinema, moving the head during the movie to see everything?
