I have a regular tube monitor on one head and an LCD monitor on the other... At the office I use a matrox dual head with two tube monitors.

I use dual monitor (CRT & LCD) with Photoshop 7 with a Radeon 9700. Why do you ask? It works well for me.

I run dual LCD monitors (one DVI & one analog - both at 1280 x 1024) on an old Radeon 7000. It works fine.
Was there something specific you wanted us to check out?

I'm buying a new computer (upgrading) and it comes with the Radeon 9600...Before I plunked down a lot of money I just wanted to know if, along with PS 7.0, there were any compatability issues....sounds like it's a clean setup....Thanks.

I will be running a ViewSonic PF790 (19" CRT) as my "picture" monitor. Would a 15" LCD be OK for the "tools" monitor? There is a BIG price difference between a 15" and 17"...

I am running a 17" CRT and a 15" LCD. A 15" LCD is almost as big as a 17" CRT. If you wanted to span the desktop across both monitors, two identical monitors is the way to go. For me, I'm working on one or the other and the second monitor holds other programs. For example, when I'm writing on my LCD, the CRT has Media Player, Messenger, and my dictionary. When I'm photo editing on the CRT, the LCD has the other programs.
I do find, for me, it's very nice to have both monitors on the same resolution. If you go that way, the resolution on the LCD is, as a practical matter, fixed so the CRT has to match it.

works great.It has one VGA input and one DVI input that I added an adapter to VGA. Currently have 17" Sony CRT and old 15" CRT. Just ordered Sony 21" CRT to go with the 17".

I am also using dual display my set up is 15" for the software tools 18" for the image both being handle by radeon (128mb) 9700 all in wonder card. I'm working with PS7 the only problem I was having at first was calibrating the 18" I did this through adobe gamma this worked out fine. the only issue I'm having (minor) PS sees the 18" as a 17" and I don't know how to correct this. My monitors are Gateway FTP flat panel..by the way Radeon has the 9800 256mb graphics card out at about $500. extremetech.com

when they make 17" LCD with the same res u get on Laptops, then i'd think about buying some - but i can't see myself lowering from 1600x1200 to 1280x1024.. just can't beat the realestate u get with CRT, sure u can spend $1200 on a Dell 20" to do 1600x1200, but u can get 4 19" CRT's for that

1600-1200 native resolution, street price about $1,500
I saw one in Future Shop two weeks ago (about a week after I bought the 19" version of the same monitor) and fell in love....
I think the new Samsung 213T is newer/better the last poster mentioned. About $1350 res 1600x1200.
As for 15" or 17", you should go with the 17" as it has a SXGA resolution. 15 inches are XGA only.

I'm using an MSI TI4200 with an LCD 19" and a 19" trinitron.. the LCD blows away the trinitron when viewing digital pics.. plus mine rotates to show much more of web pages.. or anything else..
use the LCD for working on pics.. and the CRT trinitron for the other stuff..
plan on going dual LCD's when the CRT quits..
cheers

the dual monitors are hooked up to my PC via a MSI ti4200.. dual port.. one for digital.. one for analog..
an adapter was supplied with the video card to run 2 analog monitors..
my LCD monitor comes with 2 inputs.. and two cables.. digital and analog.. i use digital, and it's awesome.. great for looking at digital pics...
there's a digital cable.. and the traditional video cable for analog..
