    Default Two Monitors worth it?

    I'm thinking about hooking up two monitors to my computer. I have the ability to, as in I have two monitors and my video card is able to, but I would like to ask your opinions about it. The two monitors are flat screen monitors, as in analog I believe, and both are 15". So what do you guys think, should I do it as one of them is sitting next to my computer desk useless.

    Try it and see if you like it. I personally don't like that setup although many professionals do use it. I went out plunked down the money for the Dell 30" and couldn't be happier.

    I have my TV and actual monitor connected (the TV is treated as a giant monitor).

    Makes it easy for watching movies, playing (PC) Oblivion (I get all the joy of an Xbox 360 Controller plus the mods), and for frantically cramming for tests as I am right now.

    Plus it's just nifty.

    I personally wouldn't bother, but I am a tight arse with money so...

    Thanks for the suggestions, except Spartan_Shame . Jk, but Spartan, I already have all the stuff, so it wouldn't cost anything. All I need now is to find the power cable for the second monitor.

    15" is pretty small though, I couldnt do with less than my 19" (which is 6 years old at least and sometimes the screen starts to shake, but that might be my 3 year old (soon 4) radeon 9600 video card )
