Does anyone with multiple monitors have a good way of dealing with full-screen single-screen games? I have most of my games set to 'windowed,' but the ones that don't offer it mush any open apps into various positions on my secondary monitor. I'd like to play a quick game over lunch without Outlook dialogs all switching to the secondary.

Is there a double-advanced catalyst control center with more options?

Well, sort of....

Do you have any experience with HYDRAVISION?

Hydravision is your best bet. Otherwise window positions get all wonky when resolutions change on one monitor and not the other.

Not a problem, i've been using multiple monitors for years. Couldn't imagine going back.

With Windows 7's "snap-to" feature it really makes having one, large monitor a possibility again.

The only way "one large" monitor would appease me would be a 30inch apple cinema display. The 2550x1400 resolution one, if not a higher resolution.

I'm very happy with my dual 25inch 1080p monitors. 3840x1080 resolution baby. =D

I would love three monitors but the space between them would drive me crazy.

I would just love that multiple monitors would work properly in windows

I actually would love a triple monitor display, with the third monitor being arranged vertically instead of horizontally.

I could find a use for as many monitors as I could possibly have. Seriously. Even if after the 5th monitor or so one of them would purely be real-time IRC or real-time hardware monitoring.
