Posted: Oct 01, 2010 3:36 pm Post subject: Large second monitor for laptop |
|
|
I am looking for a really large screen for my laptop.
I have a 22" screen now. Does anyone use a 32-42 inch screen? Anyone use a LCD TV? Is a 42 way to big for a monitor?
I just get so many things going on my screens that I really want some space to lay stuff out when I am working on things. _________________ Wakeskating

I'm using an HP2710m on my desk now. (along with 3 18" UltraSharps)
It's 1920x1080 though. Bossman has a 27 iMac at home @ 2560x1440 and it is the sh*t.
If the damn 2500+ res monitors weren't $800+ I'd have gotten that instead.
I am VERY happy with the 2710m though. Very easy on the eyes. Paid under $300 for it direct from HP. _________________

No it's my desktop. I have 4 right now. - 3 in portrait 1024x1280 and the big 27 in landscape at 1920x1080
There are ways to do multi-monitor off a lapper... _________________

You didn't mention fast.
I'm guessing none of them! _________________

flixmaster, I forgot to mention, that my monitors are mounted (clamped) to the desk using MonoPrice mounts. They were about $17 each and do the job perfectly. _________________

First you need to determine if your laptop can output that resolution. No sense spending the money on a monitor that is capable of displaying _____ resolution, if you can't send the signal to it at that resolution.
Like buying an HD TV, but then only getting SD cable. _________________ Boater all my life...noob to wakeboarding. |

I'm super jealous of all of you. I'm stuck with one monitor at my job and it makes everything 100x more difficult/time consuming. |
