NoxObscuras 08/17/21 1:38:21 PM #18:	At home, I just him my PC up to my TV and that 1 screen is fine. At work, I have 2 screens and it helps so much. Like right now, I'm working on purchasing for the office. I need to get quotes from the vendors and then enter their information into our documents. So it helps to be able to see two vendor quotes on one screen and the form I'm filling out on the other. And there are plenty of other things that require multiple files open at once. Two screens just makes it so much easier. --- PSN - NoxObscuras Z490 \| i9-10900K \| EVGA 3080 FTW3 Ultra \| 32GB DDR4 3600 \| 4TB SSD <cite>NoxObscuras posted [p:957171541] in Dual monit...
