Screen size?

Post by CS-ACI- »

Hello,

I know we all play the game using a PC.

What I want to know is the screen size of other devices you use for the forum and reading other files such as help files?

Are you using a tablet or a phone for instance?

I have 2 monitors. One for the game and one for tools and stuff.

Sometimes I use an iPad/iPhone with configured keys (Buttons) connected with my WiFi.

I'm like SeeJay - 24" for the game plus 20" for things like Evometric, Travel Buddy and so on plus reading, research etc

Not tried adding the (10.5") tablet to the mix yet though!

I use a 30" monitor since I don't have very good eyesight. My nephew ( a big shot contractor in Toronto) gave me a new whiz bang computer which he said could also heat my apartment in the winter. I plan to set it up with 3 monitors once Star Citizen comes out. ;)

I don't have multiple monitors but I'm curious. How do you set applications to display on a particular monitor?

Just drag them to where you want them. 2nd monitor (and the 3rd-tv) are set up to extend the desktop.

Hello,

Following on from Paul's question, can you spread one application across all three screens?

No I can't. My dream is to set up 3 monitors working as one with a wide angle so I can see
out the side windows without turning my head in game. My wife thinks that 2 monitors is too much
already, so I'm working on it LOL!

I think I need external equipment or a new GFX card to make that happen as well.
Unless someone here has a good solution, not to expensive?
(My setup is 2 monitors on standard GFX ports and the TV connected with HDMI.)

When I fly FSX I put several consoles on the 2nd monitor, such as the GPS, kneeboard etc for
easy and quick access when needed.
