Can you work on two applications side by side on this, like you can with dual monitors?

You can simply arrange two application windows. The monitor is wide enough to do this easily.

Yes. I always have two applications open like email and PDF files or quick books and Excell.

You could do that by opening 2 programs at the same time and shrinking each one to half size of the monitor. It makes for a smaller workspace on each one, but that is not a problem.

You may run a single signal and split it to both monitors , that's how I wired mine.

Sorry, I don't know the answer to that? I have always just used one monitor for two computers.

No only on one side due to the application required.If you require both sides ,then you need to look for a two side led display unit.

As this monitor works just like any other monitor, technically yes. However there is a notable 1 or 2 inch wide border that would lessen your enjoyment of a side by side monitor setup. The gap between two of these monitors will be larger than a more orthodox choice of monitors.

Naturally no, but its potentially possible to use 2 of these at the same time if you buy an adapter that allows for dual monitors.

Yes, one monitor would be on the right and one on the left of the main post though. But yes you could have one facing one direct and one facing the other. You wouldnt ever get them back to back per say.

No you can't run dual monitors with the onboard ports you will need to use a video card. I have already exhausted all other possibilities.

No. This will duplicate what you are seeing on one monitor to another one. It will not enable expanded desktops or separate monitor areas. Was pretty darn disappointing.

Dell has two monitor slot on a single graphic card. In that case yes you can hook up two monitor at a time.Dell is very users friendly in the matter of dual monitor use.

You can use it as you would any other desktop. The only issue would be if you want dual monitors you would need a new graphics card.

No. It will only let you connect one monitor at a time. Recommend getting a dual display port adapter.

Patricia, to answer your question, I have two separate answers. If you desire the same image on both screens at all times, all you'd have to do is buy a HDMI splitter and some extra HDMI cables to run to your dual monitors. If you desire to run two monitors as separate screens, you will have to upgrade, as the video card inside this machine does not support dual heading for video. A card with dual heads should be cheap, and a smallish one should be able to fit inside the case. I'd suggest looking elsewhere if you require dual heads though.

To echo the others' responses - yes, it allows different applications on all of the monitors. It essentially gives you one huge desktop. The best (and free) program to manage this is called "Display Fusion" which lets you "stretch" your wallpaper from one monitor to another. Here's a picture of my system (if Amazon allows links) http://www.flickr.com/photos/diannewood/8230467243/sizes/l/in/photostream/

yes. You will be able to have 2 separate external monitors side by side that will act as a large single display spread across the two monitors and your laptop monitor can be positioned to the left or right of these external monitors. If you put your laptop in between the two external monitors your mouse will scroll from the laptop to the first external monitor then over to the next external monitor ... with the laptop in the middle your mouse will move LAPTOP to MONITOR 1 to MONITOR 2 - so it is best to put the external monitors side by side LAPTOP - MONITOR 1 - MONITOR 2

I use an external keyboard and one monitor with mine. I am not sure about the second monitor. Sorry.
