Poll: How many monitors do you use on your primary computer?

[MacRumors]

Vote: Poll: How many monitors do you use on your primary computer? (http://www.macpolls.com/?poll_id=563)

[anubis]

24-inch widescreen Dell monitor here. Bought it a couple of years ago when the price of the Dell 24-inches was less than half the price of the Apple 23-inch. Before the widescreen I had 2 monitors (15" + 17"). I prefer one very large screen to two smaller ones.

[valdore]

Just one, never have had the need for more than one. Although I work as a peon in the commodities/finance biz, and a lot of those people have two, and sometimes three.

[Hmac]

Couple of 30" ACD's. Plenty of room there...

Two.
Do you have bad eyes?

[jecowa]

Technically two, but I voted "1" since I have a 12" PowerBook G4 with a busted display hooked up to a Dell CRT monitor.

What is that tall monitor on the left called?

[byakuya]

technically two also
(MB screen+an external 17inch monitor)

[dundonald]

3 mostly, at work (2 hideous cheap 22" 16:9 and a Dell 21" 4:3) and 2 at home ( 2 Formac 21" CRTs) Screen space matters to me more than colour fidelity obviously!

[Willis]

Im guessing parallels or something. They can be made fullscreen cant they?

[Malfoy]

Parallels can be fullscreened.

And two for me.

What is that tall monitor on the left called?
The screen on the left is an HP LP2065, a 4:3-ratio, 20-inch, 1600x1200 panel. I am using it rotated so that it perfectly matches the horizontal of the 30" ACD. It uses the same high-quality LG/Philips panel that the ACD 30 does - so it's a perfect match.

I did extensive research and the HP LP2065 is THE panel to get to use in this specific fashion.

My office workstation utilizes a MacBook Pro with three screens total.... In a roundabout sort of way. :-)

(On the left is an Apple //c tied to the MBP via serial connection, serving as a text-terminal - read more about that in my blog post (http://www.bytecellar.com/archives/000113.php), written when the Mac in question was a G4 mini (now sold).)

Parallels, with the XP window dragged to the monitor on the right and then clicked to full screen.

[~Shard~]

Just one, but I technically have two primary computers so I have both dsplays side by side. I have my 17" G4 iMac and then next to it, another 17" LCD hooked up to my PC for my trading platform. It's nice having 2 displays!

This will change in a matter of days though, as my nice new 24" iMac is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow or Friday. :) Then I will have its 24" goodness next to my PC's 17" display instead of my old iMac.

Now that I will have an Intel-based machine which can run Boot Camp/Parallels I will require my PC even less, however I essentially need 2 screens for my trading and my trading platform is only Windows-based, plus it needs to run natively (due to its sensitive real-time nature) so I will continue with the 2 computer setup as it makes the most sense... :cool:

[Claytoniss]

2! More real estate!

[sunfast]

Just the one (I have a laptop) but occasionally hook up to my flatmate's monitor when he isn't using it

Parallels, with the XP window dragged to the monitor on the right and then clicked to full screen.

Why not just use Coherence

[Vigilante]

Two, I use my TV for playing games sometimes. Crysis on a 36" widescreen HDTV looks beautiful. :)

[Hmac]

Why not just use CoherenceI only have the vaguest idea what Coherence is. I'd have to actually read the Parallels manual to be able to answer that question. Running the two windows OSX and XP in this manner meets my needs nicely. No need to read the manual if everything's going OK, huh?

[Clive At Five]

Hey, HMac: What sort of beef do you have running those babies? Mac Pro, I'm assuming, but what sort of CPU?

I'm getting a Mini and I want to run Parallels fullscreen, in a second monitor, just like that. But I basically only use the PC for occasional gaming. I severely doubt that a Mini will serve me well enough to be both a Mac, and a windows gaming box.

Oh, and then there's the whole Mini-can-only-drive-one-display issue... Damn you, Apple, why can't you make an xMac? I need a GPU that cooks! And, no, I don't want your fricken all-in-one... stupid non-user-upgradeable shell...

Solutions, anyone, so I can have a beautiful desktop like you guys?

3.0 ghz 4-core Mac Pro with X1900XT and 9 gig RAM. Yes, it makes the room hot. Amazing to me how much heat comes off of those 30 inch displays.

The system works great. I also use XP via Boot Camp for FPS gaming. I've been very impressed with the way it runs Crysis and COD 4. I also am running Parallels/XP on my 2.4 MacBook Pro.

Ah so rather than taking some time to find out how to use this excellent facility within Parallels (which by the way is very easy to enable/use) you'd rather not and waste a whole monitor just for full screen windows...

To each their own :D

[Hmac]

Ah so rather than taking some time to find out how to use this excellent facility within Parallels (which by the way is very easy to enable/use) you'd rather not and waste a whole monitor just for full screen windows...

To each their own :DI use XP full screen by choice - when Parallels comes up and the virtual machine window comes up, I just move it over to the right monitor and click the full-screen button. Otherwise, that window running XP can be resized to whatever size I want and I can place it anywhere on the two screens, and drag and drop between them whether it's full screen on two monitors, or just a little window. I just happen to prefer to use it full screen. You may prefer to use it in a little window, given your vastly superior knowledge of how to use Parallels, but this method meets or exceeds my needs, and as you say, to each their own. If and when I need it to work some other way, I'll just read the manual so I can do it the way you think I should be doing it.

[joegomolski]

I have 2 monitors hooked up to my Mac Pro. They're both Apple Cinema Displays.

The 23" I use for helper type programs, finder, iCal, Address Book, TextEdit, and Speed Download.

On my 30" my main programs, Safari, Mail, Aperture, etc.

Works for me.

Happy Holidays:)

[jnasato]

I was using two monitors up until a couple of days ago, because the second one wasn't being used much. The two monitors were for Logic Pro, but since Logic Pro 8, I've only needed to use one monitor. It has a very efficient workflow!

[tobefirst]

Dual monitors both personally and professionally. 2 20" Dell widescreens at home, and 1 23" Apple and 1 19" Dell at work.

Once you use two monitors, one just never seems like enough.

[splashtech]

2 monitors both at home and at work.

Home: 20" Dell and 18" (yes, 18") NEC. Although the 20" Dell (and the PC they are both connected to) are being replaced with a 24" iMac after xmas.

Work: 22" Samsung and 19" HP

I don't use parallels in a little window. You really should go on to you (http://youtube.com/watch?v=rN9jNNeEd98)tube (http://youtube.com/watch?v=HjVZt-G2qC8) and find a video of coherence in parallels. Maybe if you saw what it can do for you then you'd actually go find out how to turn it on. (Tries not to mention that there is a simple button to turn it on)

no... what if you need to be able to view a lot of information at one time.. spaces won't do that...

For the average user it really isn't a big deal, but when you get into music, film, and art production, you need a lot of realestate...

OK, got it. :)

[gauchogolfer]

I use two monitors (both 19" HP LCDs) with my HP machine at work. When making presentations or working in Excel it's really nice to have side-by-side monitors to move information around.

At home, just the one laptop.

[splashtech]

Unless I'm missing something, why would anyone need two screens on their desk?

As a software developer I find the extra screen space much nicer to work with. You can have the code open largish on one screen and the application(s) you are working on open on the other for testing/debugging/etc and other browser windows for research, googling and general browsing (like these forums). :)

[MrSmith]

I wish I hadn't asked. My single screen is beginning to seem inadequate. :D

[Dagless]

iMac and some 20" Dell monitor :)

In XP I only use 1 monitor, OSX uses both with the main display being on the Dell monitor (it's 3" bigger than the iMac).

[kygeographer]

2 HUGE CRT monitors at work (can't seem to get an LCD for the life of me).. it's really helpful though. I do cartography/mapping at work and it really helps to be able to have all of my toolbars/email on one window, and the project I'm working on on the other.

2 at home as well. AlumiMac 20", and a smaller 17 in. LCD plugged in as well.

My girlfriend's MacBook only has one, obviously, and it drives me nuts!:eek:

[dukebound85]

Beware - if you change to two monitors you may struggle to live without them again!

so true. i cant stand just one screen anymore. i have a 19" lg widescreen in combo with macbook

Ah. You finally got it. I was afraid I was being too subtle.

lol he was just trying to show you something that is pretty sweet. i know i would appreciate a cool feature i didnt know about and it turned out to be useful....part of the reason i visit these forums in the first place. sweet setup nonetheless though

[flyinmac]

I have, basically, the same setup as Hmac. I run Windows through Parallels so I can run TCNet. I see no problems (delay) with real time data. Luckily my broker has a java based trading platform so I don't have to trade using Windows. I would love to see a Mac version of TCNet or something that offers much of the same stock scanning features.

I always thought that there would be real-time issues via Parallels since it is not running programs natively - if not, that's good to know. Still though, I need a dual monitor setup (at least!) for my trading... My platform is Windows-only (no Java client) so I am stuck for now. ;)

Thanks for the info though, good to know. I may play around with Parallels now... :cool:

Parallels is virtualization software, not an emulator so : Parallels DOES run Windows natively, and concurrently with OSX. I have to run Windows in order to log into our company computers from home, and the VPN/Security software and Terminal Emulators all work perfectly... and oh yeah.... they run FASTER than my pure Win box ever thought about

[splashtech]

... and oh yeah.... they run FASTER than my pure Win box ever thought about

Sorry to go a little off topic here, but that has intrigued me... could you tell me what the specs of your mac are, and the specs of the PC you are using as a comparison? Also, is this the same version of windows on both the VM and the "real" PC?

[Slip]

Nice view from that window. :p

Ah yeah, one of those programmable windows ;)

I can't wait to get the external now, I feel left out of all that pixel real estate :(
Spaces should see me through for now though

I agree with this - it mirrors my own experience exactly. And Windows on both my Mac Pro and my MacBook Pro using Parallels does indeed run faster than any PC laptop I've owned, and any PC desktop I've built.

[pjarvi]

I voted 2, since I use the display on the MacBook and a second monitor connected externally. Although, I also have another monitor but it is hooked up to my PC. It would be nice if Apple supported more than 1 external display on their laptops and Mac Mini/iMac.

[ibookos9]

my pc can have 2 but i only own one!:D

[bld44]

I've got two 23" ACDs. I couldn't (well, I could) live without them.

I have two. The iMac 24" screen and a BenQ 17". I'd have three, but the iMac only supports one external (at least thats all it has ports for.)

[MikeTheC]

Parallels can be fullscreened.

And two for me.
http://neveroutgunned.net/s2s/Mcompute11-8-07.jpg

Hey! What's that Sony piece of trash doing on your desk?!?!? :eek: :p :cool:

Oh, and in answer to the poll question:

When I had my PowerBook G4 1.5GHz 15", most of the time I had it in desktop-replacement mode, and so only used the external 17" 4:3 LCD I had originally bought for a Linux-running PC I got rid of.

When not running it in desktop-replacement mode, naturally I was only using it's on-board LCD, since nothing else would have been attached.

I still own an iMac G4/800 (which is what I'm typing this reply on now), and since it only supports desktop mirroring, there's little point served in using anything other than the on-board 15" 4:3 LCD.

I own an old "beige" PowerMac G3/300 which runs as a Debian-based server, and is normally run headless. However, when I do want to work directly on it, it just has one monitor attached to it.

Hopefully I'll be getting a new iMac C2D 2.4 20", and given how well I'm able to get along with what I have now, I kind of doubt I'll plug another monitor into it, since I really can't imagine what I'd need yet another desktop for.

So, in sum, at any one given moment, just one monitor at a time.

[TBi]

Have you tried Screen Spanning Doctor (http://www.rutemoeller.com/mp/ibook/ibook_e.html)? It allowed me to use a second screen without mirroring.

[bmat]

I have a 20 and a 24. Both Dells. Wish I had the Cinema (or even both 24). Maybe next year.

[Osarkon]

I'm running with the macbook screen and an external 17 TFT. Some generic make, I'm looking to replace it with something bigger that has better quality sometime soon.

[edenwaith]

Are both those monitors hooked up to the same computer? If so, how did you get Mac OS and Windows on the same computer?

At work, I have two monitors connected up to an old PowerMac. It appears that I have Mac OS X on one monitor and Windows on the other monitor. I use RDC to remotely connect to my Windows box and then make the RDC window full screen on the 2nd monitor. It works great for my purposes.

At home I only have one monitor for the time being. If I get an new iMac at some point in the future, I might connect up my trusty 15" ADC monitor to it for extra space. I'm just wondering if I should get a 20" iMac or the 24" iMac. After seeing a 23" Apple Cinema display, I'd really like the 24" iMac.

[Hmac]

Wow, I love that setup although I dont have much use with 2 screens or operating systems...

I do a lot of PowerPoint presentations, and they incorporate a lot of video and still images. When putting them together, it's nice to have all of those programs and editors and data up and running at the same time. I need Parallels because usually, I'll write a presentation in PowerPoint using the Windows version because differences between the two in fonts and some other formatting means a PowerPoint written on an OSX version may not look or work right when presented on a PC. There are more and more Macs showing up at the conferences I go to, but PC's still vastly reign on virtually all of the presentation podiums (podia?) I have to work with.

[Cassie]

[Scorch07]

Right now just my iMac with the single monitor, but I will probably use an external monitor occasionally with my MBP once I get it.

[siurpeeman]

technically two, a macbook pro with an external 20" display.

[jnc]

26" Samsung HDTV in conjunction with my MacBook. Going to get an ACD if they're updated soon, if not perhaps some flavour of Dell (or Sharp's 32" 1080p set)

[dontwalkhand]

Two here as well, the one built into the MacBook Pro and the external 20".

My G4 has only one 17" LCD, soon to be two 17" LCDs.

[macnews]

I normally use one monitor for my main computer, my laptop. When I do video editing I prefer using two monitors with a preview screen, so technically three monitors but one isn't used in normal computer operations.

I have tried setting up two monitors for students I teach graphic design but they just don't seem to get it. It takes too much to learn the program and figure out the entire monitor thing. It seems simple enough, at least to me, but they just aren't used to it for some reason and it actually seems to distract them.

[Chimpy]

Vote: Poll: How many monitors do you use on your primary computer? (http://www.macpolls.com/?poll_id=563)

1 24" Dell and a 19" LGA. Looking to upgrade to dual 24"ers, as that would be so very sweet. Might try to swing a 30" Dell instead, not sure...

[blairwillis]

I used to run two simultaneously, but since the advent of Spaces, I'm doing fine with a single 22" wide and 9 spaces.

[ryleguy06]

all 15.4 inches of the mbp a downsize from the 17, but i think you learn to manage your screen the smaller it is, so i may be investing in a macbook in the near future to push this theory further.

Unless you're an air traffic controller or dispatcher, are you really that important to have more than two monitors. Spend your money on a membership at the gym...

[AliensAreFuzzy]

It's not really a matter of how important you are. It's more about how much you have open at once. By the end of this summer, I'm going to have a 24" iMac w/ 24" 2408WFP and a 15" MBP w/ 20" 2007WFP. I have so much crap open at once that I need all that space.

my desktop PC has two displays, 19" samsung syncmaster 912n, and a 26" 720p HDTV (through component adapter) I've also got my G4 mini hooked up to the TV with a DVI to HDMI cable

[spacecadet610]

recently had a single 30 inch lcd flanked by 2 20 inch lcds in portrait mode. Sold the setup since it really is a bit of overkill. now just use a 37 inch 1920x1200 lcd

[intoxicated662]

2 displays....

and one 17" apple studio display LCD

[Saliwa]

On my PC I have 3 screens: 20", 19" and 18".

On my iBook, I have plugged a 20". Actually on Macs you don't need plenty displays, you can switch apps more efficiently.

[diamondgoldsilv]

[Jiff Lemon]

Use 4 at work. Two 19" flanked by two 18". Ran that way for the last 4 years and find it a nightmare to use any less.Have tried running two bigger screens at a higher res (my current set up runs at 1280 x 1024) but I like to have the physical separation of the screen.

Hey, HMac: What sort of beef do you have running those babies? Mac Pro, I'm assuming, but what sort of CPU?

I'm getting a Mini and I want to run Parallels fullscreen, in a second monitor, just like that. But I basically only use the PC for occasional gaming. I severely doubt that a Mini will serve me well enough to be both a Mac, and a windows gaming box.

Oh, and then there's the whole Mini-can-only-drive-one-display issue... Damn you, Apple, why can't you make an xMac? I need a GPU that cooks! And, no, I don't want your fricken all-in-one... stupid non-user-upgradeable shell...

hey papasmurf, just curious, what is all over those monitors, what do you do?
I'm the manager of the SCADA dept of my local government utility. SCADA is an acronym for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition, the ability to control physical processes and collect data remotely.

I have to manage 64 remote PCs, 13 servers, 648 racks of remote I/O, 53 IP cameras over a 572 square mile area. Displayed on the screen are 4 remote PCs and 2 servers, and one of the IP cams.

In my area I'm introducing the concept of running SCADA applications from Mac instead of the traditional M*soft environment. Now that Macs are using intel processors, and M*soft is pushing its agenda of software as a service, I'm very close to this idea taking off. My primary machine at home is a Mac, and if I could get Radmin to run native in OS X, I'd be using a G5 in my office.

I really enjoy the forum and appreciate the ability to participate. :apple:

Do a lot of research writing, I use 15" mbp hooked DVI to a Samsung 19" rotated 90deg with webpages, then do the writing on a 12" powerbook. It saves so much time without minimizing and searching through tabs for research. It's just what works for me.

[ZiggyPastorius]

My question is, why would you ever need that many monitors? I use two monitors, and even then, unless I'm using like Logic, or something to that nature, I can't even manage to use those efficiently together..

[Meldar]

Only one, the 13.3" glossy display of my MacBook, since I'm always moving around and working in different locations.

Until recently, I hooked my MacBook up to a 20" Dell LCD monitor that looked pretty sharp, but it decided to stop working.

[thehuhman]

I use two 20" Mac Displays with a Mac Pro Tower. I design and build web pages on one, and use the other for viewing the live pages I'm working on. Also use it for open directories, and misc. like watching TV on EyeTV. (The Air sitting there is for checking emails and other internet stuff).:)

[macwall]

Two. Once you've tried using such a large desktop, it's hard to go back to using just one.

[rhett7660]

Two... two Dell 2405's. Love them. What others have said, once you have two it is really hard to go back to one.

I could see someone who is a stock broker having that many monitors. Well maybe not six, but I have seen them with three and four.

With the two cameras, it leads me to believe video conferencing or something along those lines maybe?

But I too am curious as why this person needs that many monitors.

Unless I'm missing something, why would anyone need two screens on their desk? Isn't that what Spaces is for?


I use three! and spaces!

Here's what I do:

three screens are better than two, because if you look straight forward, you don't want to stare into a bezel - you want to see the center of a screen. That way, the two outside screens can be used for things you're not constantly working on - like mail, or some browser page.

I use spaces as well - I keep four spaces running -
1 - for most of my day to day stuff -
2 - for VM's I'm running
3 - for remote desktops I'm running
4 - all dev tools - one screen usually has the XCode documentation on it


The mouse I use has a bunch of programmable buttons, so it's easy to switch between spaces.

As a second monitor, I’m attempting to use what appears to be a 17” halogen aircraft headlamp, or is it a Sharp LL-172C LCD. Until my eyes recover I can’t tell you what my primary — o o hold on — now I can see again, though barely, through caloused pupils — oh yes, my primary monitor is a Sony CRT 19” Multiscan400PS.
One or Two, we'll see.
Admittedly, I don’t know Richard about dual monitor setups, save for the little garnered here, but the little Sharp seems to take over my whole system. My illustration and design work really require the use of a CRT. I posted yesterday about this in the peripherals forum, to no avail. Still pretty new around here, I maybe should have posted it in the graphics section, or here.

[aapl.jlo]

I have a monitor that I can use for my iBook (an eMachine monitor), but I think I'll stick with the screen designated mainly.

Apple definitely has to either drop the prices or make the superior monitor to compete. I mean look at what people are saying--Dell monitors. They're cheaper, and most people don't need HD monitors since LCDs in general look really good--unless you go too el cheapo!

2, at last. Just got a DVI to VGA plug, and now have 2x 17 inch screens. Very useful. Simple case of plugging it in. Great that you can maximise windows to an individual screen, so have that sorted, or span the window across the 2 screens, depending on what's needed to be done. I'd imagine this plus Spaces would be awesome.

Here's where I could use some help: I can drag Quicktime onto the TV and command VIEW/FIT TO SCREEN, but I can't figure out how to enter FULL SCREEN keeping the window on the TV. Commanding FULL SCREEN moves the QT back to the imac and FULL SCREEN's it there.

Well you can have the built in one plus an external. There is other ways of adding monitors but they don't always work great. It can be done though just gaming won't be so great.

[gotzero]

Is this at work or home? What do you do that you need so many screens?

This is my home set up. I got used to the space after having four monitors at work. I have kept every LCD I ever owned.

The 15" was my first LCD from ~2002, and it is used to watch what I trade if I am home during the day, and tracks RSS feeds if the market is closed. It is above my head angled down.

The two 17"s are used for a virtualization of OSX that is used for development and data moving, and a virtualization of Windows.

The two 23"s are where most of the work gets done. I have Logic set up on both screens for one space, my data software on another space, web browser/e-mail browser/IM on one, spreadsheet software on one, aquamacs/word processors on another.

It is not necessary, but I enjoy being able to work this way. If I was buying new, I would have probably gotten two 30s or a 30 and two 20s in portrait, but this set-up came to as I built upon what I already had.

These days, most of my time is spent on a 1280*800 laptop, so it is all relative...

[andyjam]

I was very happy with my HP 20" LCD for a long time (about 2 years) until I started a new job about 2 months ago, where I have two 24" Dells... About a week after I started, I couldn't stand the "lack" of space I had at home so just went out and bought two very pretty 24" acers to go with my (reasonably) new Mac Pro. I just hope the new MacBooks will support two external monitors - I really don't need the Pro, but do need to replace a PowerBook G4.

seriously all these extra monitors seems like a waste of energy. If they were solar powered then that's fine, but why the excess, you can still do work with one monitor just fine. This is my opinion btw, if you need it for work then I guess, no bigge.

If I hooked up 4 ~19" LCDs to my computers I bet they will need less energy than the average CRT TV everyone got at home :p


I'm using two displays. The 13" MB and a 19" Samsung widescreen.

dadudeness, Do you know which 19" Samsung display you have?
I have been thinking about getting the 933BW to go with a new MBP, any thoughts?
Thanks!
