Dual Monitor management software?

Post by []V[]essenjah »

Howdy,


Just wondering, is there a better way out there to set up dual monitors? As in software-wise. I would like to set up, a seperate wallpaper and have a task bar on each screen.

I know of UltraMon, but I don't use it personally.

Also, nView, shipped with the nVidia Forceware drivers, provides a lot of multi-monitor functions (such as a different wallpaper on each screen) .

Yeah, if you have an nVidia card, the included utils pretty much over all the bases.

I run Ultramon on my ATI - it's handy.

MultiMon is a freeware alternative to Ultramon. It's not as feature rich, but free is a nice advantage!

I use Ultramon / nview to manage everything on my 3 screens.

I use Ultramon, too. Very handy, and I sometimes wonder how I did without it!
