Dual CTR's

[Pete]

So, everyone agrees that dual monitors are the way to go. Due to a tight bugdet I’m forced to buy two CRT's instead of two LCD's. Does anyone know a CTR brand that has a thin edge to make the gap between the two CRT monitors as small as possible? BTW most architectural firms don't use dual monitors. How do you guys go from dual monitors at home to a single monitor at the office?

I don't. You might want to check out this app though. Not quite the same as Dual monitors, but the closest you can get. I saw it on TechTV Screensavers a few nights ago

Download the Virtual Desktop Manager. It allows you to have 4 desktops on one monitor.

DONT put 2 CRT screens right next to each other unless you have some shielding in between them, if you do both monitors will burn out down the edge closest to the other monitor which is not good... trust me, it's happened to me twice
