Step 1:
Getting started
Adding a second monitor to your PC just doesn't make sense--until you try it. With two monitors, you can view a spreadsheet and write a report without constant minimizing and maximizing. Editing photos? Keep your tools on the secondary screen so that you can better view your image. Troubleshooting a software problem? Keep the instructions on one screen while performing the steps on the other. Finally, stretch that wide spreadsheet across two monitors for a bird's-eye view of all the numbers. Just find your spare monitor (or some spare cash) and some extra desk space, and we'll show you how to start seeing double.
