[QUOTE="Jaygray, post: 643529, member: 50033"] I have a 2.2 MB w/ 2gb RAM. I have a couple questions about adding a second monitor. Online searches seem to reveal sometimes conflicting info. 1. Can I add a second monitor to my MB in extended mode (not mirrored)? 2. How is the desktop background displayed? Can I just display the same desktop background on both monitors, or do I need a special extra wide desktop which shows half on each monitor? 3. My built-in display runs at 1280 x 800. How large a second monitor would that support? Can I increase the resolution further? I guess my real question is what is the largest size monitor that would be recommended for a MB running in extended mode? [/QUOTE]
