1. Re: Dual Monitor vs 1 Large screen
csuebele Dec 2, 2013 5:41 PM (in response to ottz0)I prefer dual monitors. I often have several programs open at once, and using one monitor as a reference while working in PS on the other. I don't like having to adjust my apps window size all the time.

Trevor.Dennis Dec 2, 2013 6:09 PM (in response to csuebele)An External graphics card? How does that work?
Most laptops will drive a second display as standard, and most modern laptops will drive at least a 1920 x 1080 remote screen.
From previous threads on this forum, I believe you can use the second monitor as your main screen, and the laptop for your Photoshop panels etc. Maybe with a USB keyboard so you are not working at an angle.
I think most of the regulars here use two monitors, and two screens work well for Photoshop. Three screens would be better for Premiere Pro, but that is a whole different story.

3. Re: Dual Monitor vs 1 Large screen
Serious Sam Dec 4, 2013 5:21 PM (in response to Trevor.Dennis)The OP is refering to what is call a USB display adapter. Works best with a USB 3.0 port. The graphic engine is usually powered by an VIA chip. The is very commonly use for tri display setup.
I am also interested in how the two option comapare. A 27" screen will gice you 2560 X 1440, vs say 2 X 24" which is smaller but will give you 3840 X 1080. Which one is better for Lightroom 5 and a bit of PS.
