If you're just playing Commander Keen or doing word processing, yeah, there's no need for multiple monitors.  If you're using some applications (Maya, 3DS Max, After Effects, Avid, etc.) that have a lot of tools & multi-windows, you can get a lot more organized and have a more productive workflow with multiple monitors.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[AMiSH PiRATE]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 7th 2009 9:16AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Accell introduces their USB 2.0 to VGA Adapter at CES]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/accell-introduces-their-usb-2-0-to-vga-adapter-at-ces/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/accell-introduces-their-usb-2-0-to-vga-adapter-at-ces/</guid><description><![CDATA[After using two monitors at work for sometime (doing web development) I decided to spring for a USB-video adapter from EVGA.  Now I can't imagine working with less than 3 monitors.  Trying to do web development at home on my 1440x900 laptop now just is a pain.<br><br>That said, I really wish someone would whip one of these up that supports 1920x1200 so I can go to 3 24" monitors instead of two 24" and one 22" :(]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[timbemo]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 7th 2009 9:19AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Accell introduces their USB 2.0 to VGA Adapter at CES]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/accell-introduces-their-usb-2-0-to-vga-adapter-at-ces/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/accell-introduces-their-usb-2-0-to-vga-adapter-at-ces/</guid><description><![CDATA[If you're truly multi tasking, you probably spend a lot of time resizing windows in a 32" screen.<br>Having two screens makes multi tasking a lot easier. That said, if I was working, I'd rather have two 21" screens (or even 19")  than one 32" screen. <br><br>Of course window resizing becomes a lot more easier if you've got some kind of software to help you with this like Gridmove.<br><br>but for OSX, i'm not sure if there's a software solution.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[eric]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 7th 2009 9:23AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Accell introduces their USB 2.0 to VGA Adapter at CES]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/accell-introduces-their-usb-2-0-to-vga-adapter-at-ces/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/accell-introduces-their-usb-2-0-to-vga-adapter-at-ces/</guid><description><![CDATA[My 2 screens era is gone now that I have a dell 30inch monitor.

It's open source and an interesting alternative to multiple monitors if you already have multiple computers.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[huh]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 7th 2009 9:38AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Accell introduces their USB 2.0 to VGA Adapter at CES]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/accell-introduces-their-usb-2-0-to-vga-adapter-at-ces/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/accell-introduces-their-usb-2-0-to-vga-adapter-at-ces/</guid><description><![CDATA[Yeah, Synergy is great but it is more like a KVM switch over Ethernet minus the -M. It's great for people who have two machines (usually one is for heavy lifting like compiling large bits of code etc.) and don't want to be switching between them. It's also multi-platform so you can seamlessly go from your Windows box to your Mac and then to your Linux box. It doesn't look like it's been actively worked on since 2006 though so who knows if it works with Vista or any flavor of 64 bit WinOS. Anyone interested can find it here <br><a href="http://freshmeat.net/projects/synergy2/" rel="nofollow">http://freshmeat.net/projects/synergy2/</a><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chad]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 7th 2009 10:09AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Accell introduces their USB 2.0 to VGA Adapter at CES]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/accell-introduces-their-usb-2-0-to-vga-adapter-at-ces/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/accell-introduces-their-usb-2-0-to-vga-adapter-at-ces/</guid><description><![CDATA[I think these people might have some trouble competing with DisplayLink, unless they have some unique selling point to differentiate themselves.  Is there one?<br><br>My only complaint about DisplayLink is that they have no Linux support and that the protocol is secret.  It looks like this company have the same problem.  The only device that works with Linux is an older one that's basically a USB-to-PCI chip and a PCI VGA chip bodged together; it works but has much worse performance than the DisplayLink solution.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[spam_from_engadget]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 7th 2009 10:33AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Accell introduces their USB 2.0 to VGA Adapter at CES]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/accell-introduces-their-usb-2-0-to-vga-adapter-at-ces/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/accell-introduces-their-usb-2-0-to-vga-adapter-at-ces/</guid><description><![CDATA[If the max. resolution it supports is 1600x1200, will 1680x1050 also work? I'm not sure how the calculations work. I've been looking at these things for a while now, as I'm working with a Macbook Pro and only one external screen is supported. I'd love to be able to use 2 22" screens as my main displays.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dave]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 7th 2009 11:24AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Accell introduces their USB 2.0 to VGA Adapter at CES]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/accell-introduces-their-usb-2-0-to-vga-adapter-at-ces/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/accell-introduces-their-usb-2-0-to-vga-adapter-at-ces/</guid><description><![CDATA[You can always run the monitor at a lower-than-native res is need be.<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Wwhat]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 7th 2009 12:54PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Accell introduces their USB 2.0 to VGA Adapter at CES]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/accell-introduces-their-usb-2-0-to-vga-adapter-at-ces/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/accell-introduces-their-usb-2-0-to-vga-adapter-at-ces/</guid><description><![CDATA[all new macs have built-in drm on displayport that restricts output, to fight "piracy" (but in my opinion, really just to irritate their loyal customers, sony style).  i wonder if this thing would get around it... i think they'd sell more than a few, if it does.  people are pissed.  of course $90 is steep, even compared to apple's overpriced dongles.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[m]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 7th 2009 2:15PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
