Dual Monitor Setup Recommendation?

phykell · 10-02-2009, 23:25

I need to spec a monitor setup for work and I'm just looking for some advice on ideal setups. I have a 17" WUXGA laptop which is pretty good but my 24" WUXGA screen (at home) is obviously much better for general use. What's the ideal though? I've seen some people using their laptop and a second, larger monitor. Would I be able to use a dual monior setup instead and do I need dual link DVI for that? What exactly is dual link DVI anyway? Can I use a different res on my laptop to a second monitor?
