Booger Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Morning, everyone. I know that there has been alot of discussion regarding the use of dual monitors. However, I would like to see if I can get by this tax season with just one, but split it into 2 displays at once. I already did a search of the old posts regarding dual/split monitors, but I could not find HOW to actually split the monitor screen into 2, and have one side showing the 2008 returns, while I'm working on the 2009 returns on the other side. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Booger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booger Posted December 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 JohnH, that's my plan for next (2010) tax season. Being the cheapskate that I am, I want to postpone purchasing another monitor until late 2010. Booger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnH Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 You know, the second monitor doesn't have to be top quality, or even like the main monitor. I have one computer setup that has a nice LCD flat screen monitor for the main and a CRT monitor for the second one. All you need is the proper card for each type of display installed in the computer. You can pick up a used CRT monitor from most computer repair shops for $100 or less, including the card & installation if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
