Right now I am using an old 17" paired up with my laptop to spread out my work. I am thinking about buying a pair of new monitors, anyone else doing the same? Also anyone using one large monitor? I worked with a guy who used a 32", it seemed to work great but I would have issues carrying such a big screen to deployments. Your thoughts are appreciated.

Any laptop will easily run 2 monitors, so I like to attach a 20" monitor to a laptop. I run different programs on the 2 screens, which I prefer to having one "huge" screen. Just have Email up all the time on the smaller one, or do your estimate on one and view photos of the loss on the other.

I use 4 monitors. They are small and are attached to a desktop. A program came with the video cards that allows the monitors to run up to four grids, so I could have 16 separate programs running and displayed. HydraGrid is the program. With HydraGrid you can run two monitors and divide them. I use Photo Adjuster and run photos on one monitor, Excel, Xactimate on the additional monitors.

I also use two monitors. Makes it much easier to view photos while working on an estimate. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. Chuck, send us a pic of your set up. I would like to see how you have it set up.

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.
